Any resources for sick International Students?

Hello lovely people, any resources for non-citizen international students? I'm an international student in the US (Maryland to be specific) and got diagnosed with Lymphoma (cancer of the lymphatic system) DLBCL Stage 2. Where I'm from is a third world country with very weak healthcare and it is in the middle of a civil war so going back is a bad choice. So I decided to have treatment here. I do have insurance; World Trips partnered with United Healthcare PPO, but still the amount I might have to pay out of pocket is very expensive af. I only have my tuition money which I got refunded since I took a break this Spring term becoz of my treatments and I've been living on it since. So far, according to my hospital summaries, the costs have been tens of thousands of dollars. I can't work and have no income. How do I cover my medical bills? If anyone knows, please assist me😔 Can there be like the hospital forgiving the bills? I have literally nothing to pay and it is illegal for students to work outside of the campus unless major related internships or trainings. Thank you.

P.S I think my insurance plan covers 80%. But still there could be claims they deny and even the 20% is smth I can't afford.
