Hi my name is Dee and I have been unemployed since 07/05/10 and have been trying to file for unemployment benefits since the 11th and they have yet to send me any money. I was put on bedrest on my third trimester and ended up having an emergency c-section and was in the hospital for 10 days so I was unable to look for work right after. I have only have one source of income from my boyfriend who works at one job from 3:00 am-4:00 pm and it still has not been enough to pay for our rent, electricity, water, trash, phone, and all other expences. I have also lost my food stamps cash assistance benefits because I was unable to go to a meeting for child support because we don't have a car nor can we afford to buy one. I have to rely on carpooling with family, which is not always reliable, or call on a taxi which I can no longer afford to do. There are days where we have no money for food or to buy just simple clothes and we used the last of our money for half the rent and to buy formula for the baby because the brand he needs WIC will not provide for us. I am searching everywhere I go for another job but has been unsuccessful and I am in desperate need of another income to help support my family.

I am 60 years old and have been in the hospital 3 times in the past year with heart problems.

Have not been able to work and the bills are piling up along with the daily phone calls from doctors and hospitals that I owe money to.

In addition to the medical bills I live in a trailer home that the flooring is rotting out of and in need of donations for money to repair home and pay off doctor and hospital bills.

Really in desperate need and have always helped others when I could.

Please, please help any amount would be appreciated.

Thank you

Desperate in Texas 

Sorry if this is a duplicate.  Due to hospital bills for unexpected emergencies, 2 kids, loss of job...I find myself in an unexpected place.  I currently owe $8000, but don't have anywhere to turn.  No family left.  I think of the years I helped people out.  I don't have any way to guarantee the repayment of this money.  But if you are in a place to help someone out, know that my entire family will be eternally greatful.  I'm really reaching the end of my rope.  Suicide has entered my mind seriously, and that scares me.  I feel like there is no one to turn to, no where to go.  I hope this is temporary but with the economy, I am in despair.  If you have the ability to help us out, God Bless You. 

I would love and appreciate a grant so that I may pay off some bills that occured while i was in and out of the hospital due to being anemic and having a very low blood level and forced to get a blood transfusion.

My son was ran over by a drunk driver in 2006.  My son was air lifed to a local hospital were he underwent two emergency brain surgeries, facial reconstruction, repair of a broken nose, broken eye socket, broken hand, and a titanium plate had to be placed in his skull.   He laid in a coma for a week, and the ICU bill along with the rest of the bills, such as surgeons, xrays, cat scans, etc.  After leaving the hospital he had to have new teeth put in his mouth, and physical therapy and speach  therapy. This led to just over $150,000 worth of debt.  I'm happy to say that my son has recovered very well, except for the occasional seizure and/or headache.  We have never been victims of such a violent crime, and assumed the medical bills would be the responsibility of the person who harmed my son...wrong!  We were left with all of the medical bills, except for the $20,000 victims assistance gave to the hospital, and the small portion our car insurance carieer covered.  We are now faced with bad credit, and judgments, and just today found out my husbands check will be garnished.  Where is justice for families of crimes.  If anyone has any advice for me, I'd love too hear it.   The photo below was taken moments after my son woke from being in a coma.  

My name is Rebecca and My husband John has been in the Hospital since October with complications of the H1N1 Virus.  We have 3 beautiful children.  My husband has been with out income since his hospitalization and the Doctor's can not tell us when John will be well enough to work again.  My children have been so worried about thier father.  John spent 7 weeks on mechanical ventilation in the ICU and the children were not even allowed in to see him.  With out my husbands income we have gotten so far behind in out bills.  I have no money for Christmas.  My children have already decided they do not need presents this year, but that is still difficault, especially for the 4 & 5 year old.  I do not even know if I will be able to get a Christmas Tree for them.  If you feel lead to help us in anyway, please do not hesitate to contact me.  Thank you for your consideration.  Rebecca

Hello. I am a 36 yr old mother with 4 children.

The oldest is 20 out she is lving on her own now. I have a 16 yr old boy with Bipolar and ADHD. My 9 yr old son also has ADHD. my 5 yr old daughter was born with bilateral hip dysplasia. She came home a newborn is a body harness, then a brace and had 5 full body casts and 4 surgeries before she was 6 months old. This past April she had femoral ostotomies on both sides. Thats where they went in and cut the bones completely in half then put them back together with metal plaes and screws. My baby was unable to sit up or walk for a while. then she used a wheelchair, then a walker. She can now walk and dance. The metal plates and screws should be removed after April, and we're hoping this is the last surgery she will need. She is on brave and amazing girl.

During all of this is April, my 37 yr old husband went into congestive heart failure. Only 30% of his heart is working. They put in a defibrillator/pacemaker. They said he could be dead or need a heart transplant by the age of 40. In fact he was in one hospital while my daughter was in another. He was unable to come to be with us, the doctors said if he got stressed or upset at all, he could just die right on the spot.

This was a very terrifying time for all of us. I was so scared and trying to handle it all on my own. We also do not have insurance.

 I have had back issues and been unable to work for many years. An MRI showed multi-level disc damage, a severe nerve root compression and also a herniated disc.

 My husband missed a lot of time from work. We got so far behind in our bills. We ended up having to more, our furniture got reposessed. The hospital bills are well over $100,000. Just for his one stay. There were months we couldnt even get his $4 generic heart medicine.

We don't have a running car to get to all the doctor appointments we all have. We have all missed quite a few. The headgasket went in our old car.

With all of this going on, I'm really concerned about Christmas for my children. If anyone knows where I can get some help, I would really appreciate it.

Thank you,

Angie

So I have a few speed bumps in my life. I was burned when i was ten months old in a bathtub of really hot water. Now I am twenty one.

I recently went to the ER for a strange pain in my right side. They did some stuff and called me back, saying I had Hepatitis C. The likely source? They told me I have had it for at least fifteen years. Also, HepC was not screened before '92. Being burned in '89, I had around 50 units of blood given to me in that three year span.

Now I work a steady job and have done so for a long time, but I cannot afford the price of the medication. My insurance only covers $2100 of the $3000 cost. I work at walmart and make about $700 per month. There are some other companies that have offered help and I now only pay $700 per month myself, but that leaves no room for rent or other things. I am at my wits' end. I need help.

WHAT HAPPENS TO THOSE WITH NO HEALTH CARE?

Do you know?

Let's say some Joe Blow walks into the emergency room because
he has no insurance, and they find out
he has cancer or some other serious illness that requires a lot of care
and treatments.

What happens? Does the hospital say "Sorry, but you have
no insurance or money so we don't want to give you these
expensive treatments that you need, so you are out of luck" Guy
says "But I will die without them!
" Hospital -"Sorry no can do without the money"

Or does the hospital give them a little "bandage type" treatment but
not the comprehensive treatment they need and then sends
them on their way.

Perhaps the hospital decides not to tell him he has cancer at all!

Or will the Joe Blow get the treatment and the hospital bills them
but knows they won't get paid.

Our health care system is definitely broken.

Although there is currently a big controversy going on right now
with the President and Congress, most would agree
that Americans need a Change in the Healthcare Industry.

In the meantime, it is Americans and our children that
are suffering.

As unlikely as it may seem, there are ways around those old bills, that seem to keep popping up, and bothering you constantly. 

First, consider paying, only the bills that are the most important, such as your house note, utility bills, car note, insurance.

If a bill comes in that is a credit card bill, hospital bill, etc., send only what you can. Do not send the minimum amount, since this will run you short on your money. Send them what you can afford to send. Even if it is just a dollar a month, if they accept it, then you are in good standing. If they refuse it, be sure to keep the letter of refusal, along with the payment showing where you attempted to make the payment. Keep those documents together. When it comes down to it, and you show proof of trying to make a payment, and honor your obligations, then the courst, credit bereau, and anyone else, will have to stand with you, since you will have documented proof. 

I Need some money to pay some Medical bills that I have incurred after a stay in the hospital in May and the docter appoinetment after .

Hi.  My name is Matt and I currently live in Louisville, Kentucky.  I.....have been through soom rough times in my life.  Lost my grandfather when I was in middle school and lost my aunt a few months after that.  I was brutally raped when I was 16.......and I made the terrible decision to tell no one about that.  I suffered for a few years with that nightmare and went through some terrible emotional problems.  It got to the point where my college coursework suffered and I had to go on medical leave.  I ended up hospitalized for cutting myself and for being suicidal.  I suffered from flashbacks, headaches, seizures......it was to much.

When I was in the hospital, I met this wonderful young woman....named Holly.  She has been through some rough times as well and we got to talking.  A few weeks later we started dating and now we are engaged.  Her.....family is a mess.  Her father spent a lot of money on her due to medical problems and........told her he was kicking her out of the house.  I work at UPS part-time and go to Indiana University Southeast.  She goes to Sullivan University and has multiple jobs.  We cant find a place for us to live.....that we can afford.  We are only students and we can not get fulltime jobs.

 Well, the dreadful day came when her dad kicked her out.  She is now living in the back of her car.  I....don't know what to do.  We need help but I do not know where to turn.  I currently live with my grandmother but she is old fashion.  I have no where else to turn and am doing the best that I can but it is not enough.  Right now....the only way I can get her off the street is to win the lottery and.......yea..........have a better chance of getting hit by a bus filled with ice cream.
