Right now my funds were cut off from unemployment. I am trying to find a job after finishing medical transcription school without much luck. Although I love my parents very much and wouldn't hurt them for anything in the world, I can't afford personal grooming products (hair color, hair cut, etc), my meds or doctor's appts. My car is not running so can't go anywhere and am pretty much stuck in the house every day. Also, the neighbors are so damn nosey and with they would look in the mirror because we need no more drama here. No reason to get too excited.
God bless you and keep you. All the care givers my soul prays for you. Here's a hug although we need more. I wish you peace and strength
Article 1. General Provisions.
§ 22-13-1. Plan for care of indigents; designation of cancer units.
It shall be the duty of the State Board of Health, with the assistance of the Committee on Cancer Control of the Medical Association of the State of Alabama, to formulate a plan for the care and treatment of indigent persons suffering from cancer and to establish and designate standard requirements for the organization, equipment and conduct of cancer units or departments in general or private hospitals or private clinics of this state. The designation of cancer units shall follow the survey of the needs and facilities for treatment of cancer found available in different localities in the state.
*Seems like you could take that info and find out where to get treatment and how to qualify.
Here's where you apply for free or low cost health care insurance, if that is something that you need:

I'm sorry that I've been unable to come up with anything useful for you up to now. I'm tapped out.
Sorry I missed where you were deaf when I was writing about being a veteran. Something you wrote about in a prior post made me think that you were. And even then, I didn't make the connection in my response to you. Sometimes it takes me a while to write these out and I forget things in the meanwhile.
Why don't you contact model plane associations, and volunteer to teach a class? Or post an ad in a model plane magazine or on similar website and offer your services. You have a talent; make the most of it.
Most large counties have a hospital that is well known as the County Hospital, that sees indigent patients as well as the well-insured and everyone in between. The county Health Department may be able to help you out with medical care. The website was cut off my post regarding the low cost Cymbalta, but there should be enough information there for you to know that they can help.
Sometimes, it just seems like the load is too heavy to bear and we find it easier to just give up. That is the time pull yourself up by your bootstraps and try again. Ask a neighbor or friend for help if you need someone to advocate for you due to the fact that you are deaf. Good luck.
Just wondering and trying to fit all the pieces of this puzzle together.

I haven't researched to determine if this is impacted by the Affordable Care Act, but the Hill Burton Act was created as I understand it to, in part, provide services for the indigent since the HB hospitals would be getting assistance to build hospitals.
Check out local hospitals that have religious affiliations; in our area, one of the Catholic owned hospitals provides care to the indigent.
Anyone who can build a Cessna from a pile of balsa wood is someone who is very creative and determined. Let those very positive traits be your guide, think positively and you might find that solutions others are suggesting are more realistic than you think.
Let us know how you are coping,

Also I feel that if you have the $$ to put stuff in storage, you have the money to pay out a doctor bill instead. Some people don't really want help, they are so far gone that they don't think there is any. Most counties have medical help for the indigent. I did a Google search for my county and surprise! Found out that there is a lot of services for the indigent and that they will pay for doctor visits and 3 prescriptions/month if you qualify for their assistance.
Good luck.
I'm sorry that you feel this way. Talk to your doctor regarding the demon witch and see if there is a medication that can help with the personality issues.
Definitely look into depression meds for yourself. There are some wonderful aids out there that can help pull you out of that black hole.
Caregivers who are at the ends of their rope do need help before things go south. Let the doctors know and see if they have any ideas.
Let them know you're stuck because your car isn't working.They may offer you a ride to wherever you need to go.They may offer you an hour's sitting with your mom so you get out.
Med's and Doc Appt:
Call your state rep's office. Find out about the insurance offered to those will low income.
Your meds and Doc appts. shouldn't be a problem as most state insurances ( low or no cost) will pay for them.Some drug companies will furnish you needed drugs for free if you qualify.
Need money until you find a job?
Put an add in a free paper offering to decipher "Medicalize" for elder's and other's who wonder what the doc is trying to tell them.
Can you take in a vacationer's pet for a week?
Holidays pay very well and cash.Put up a flyer in the vet's office or tell neighbor you do that sort of thing and they pass the word.
Think out of the box.
Hair dye? The newest trend in hair and make-up is natural.
No money for haircut? Put it up \; it's a classic look and never goes out of style.I looked it up on youtube and learned to cut my own hair.Now I cut everyone's hair!
BTW: youtube video's available on diagnosing and fixing your own car with junk parts.
Good luck!
ALSO, THE ENDLESS DOCTOR APPOINTMENTS ARE TOO MUCH. THE ONLY TIME I LEAVE THE HOUSE IS TO TAKE HER TO THE APPOINTMENT OR PICK UP PRESCRIPTIONS AT WALGREENS. I MAKE UP ALL HER MEDICINES, ETC. NOT MUCH HELP FROM A SIBLING WHO LIVES RIGHT NEXT DOOR.
