Broken wrist need surgery - no insurance

So yesterday fiance was out exercising, he got onto his skateboard for old times sake, long story short he fell backwards and broke his wrist badly. Its been broken before as a teen, at WK ER they put it in a sling and said it impacted upon itself meaning he needs screws and plates a pretty serious and expensive surgery. He just started a new position but also hasn't enrolled in any health insurance - we live paycheck to paycheck although we don't want for much. Just no savings no extra money to speak of. He doesn't qualify for fin aid at Oschner and so we assume the same at WK. Still making phone calls seeing if his job would cover this emergency or something. Never been in this situation not sure what to do or where to turn just looking for advice, resources, ideas. He doesn't want to ask for help like a gofundme or something like that we really just want to get the surgery and care done and possibly pay it off afterwards or something but no idea how that would work or if its possible. Hes in a lot of pain and I'm totally stressed out.

Completely wrong address on app

So today I accepted quite a few small and low mileage orders, its slow - I'm killing time before a car work appointment just chillin, going through the motions while listening to my audiobook. Most are leave at door. I drop off an order that had an entire ice cream cake and two gallons of milk and chilled fruit etc. (its like 100 degrees or more rn, I'm in Louisiana) so I sent a little reminder message that the food was sitting out front because I don't want people to have their frozen things ruined ya know. I remembered then that this was a Kroger online order and this person didn't have the app. I drove off about a quarter of a mile when they message back "THATS THE WRONG HOUSE" and I immediately pulled over to investigate because I definitely went to the address given to me on the app. Used the GPS directly from clicking the Navigate button on-app.

Long story short, the address was just 100% completely wrong. It was vaguely in the same area once I spoke to the customer as bit and got their actual address. But there was zero relation between them and the people at the place I was sent to originally. Not a gifted order, not a adult child ordering for their parents etc. I didn't bother contacting instacart about it, it wasn't far enough distance for me to mind much going back to grab the items and taking them to the correct customer but she and I both were confused but luckily she was understanding and not mad at all just wanted her stuff for her kids bday.

Edit: To clarify, she showed me proof on her phone of her order details with the correct address. So we didnt know where this other random address appeared from.

Anyone ever experience this?
