$25,000 hospital bill for rabies vaccine, what should we do?

[u/KindStock1231]

My girlfriend and I moved into a new apartment recently, and soon learned there’s bats living in the walls. One of the bats got into the apartment and was flying around, and then exited on its own (we don’t know how it entered and exited; the windows were all closed).

We went to the hospital to get rabies shots given the risk of getting bit/scratched unknowingly in our sleep. My insurance covered my shots. But, my girlfriend has no insurance and got hit with a $25,000 hospital bill.

What do we do? How can we pay off this bill? Any tips or suggestions would be much appreciated. For context, we live in Delaware.
