Abigail Arellano keeps her son Samuel’s medical bills accumulated since he was shot at the Kansas City Chiefs Super Bowl parade in a blue folder above the microwave. With bills totaling over $5,000 for ambulance rides and medical care, the family, who is uninsured, relies on a fund that raised nearly $2 million after the shooting. Survivors are facing financial struggles due to the high medical costs, with an average increase in spending of nearly $30,000 for shooting victims. Different resources, including the United Way #KCStrong fund, are expected to provide financial aid to survivors, but the process has been complicated for many.
