Prosthetic eye replacement

Posted by Cyclops on 2012-05-14 00:58:41

When I was a tween, I was hit in the eye with a baseball and lost sight in my right eye. Over the years, my eye has atrophied causing me to need a prosthetic eye, which is why I'm writing this. My provider has written a prescription for a new prosthesis, but Medicare hasn't approved the replacement. It has been over a month since the request was submitted. The ocularist doesn't accept Medicare so I will have to pay $5,600 for a new prosthetic eye outof my pocket. Please, if you can help me I would greatly appreciate it. I am retired and was widowed several years ago and have no one to help. I've been having headaches and and the eye pain will get worse with time. Thank you for any help you can give me.

In need of Insulin

Posted by pbnj2006 on 2012-04-03 12:58:17

Hello My name is Philip McIntire and we are needing help getting insulin and medication for my wife to keep her alive. My wife is a type 1 diabetic on an insulin pump that she has had for 10 yrs. We only have a months supply of insulin left and it is required for my wife to live. I have a full time job, but it does not provide any type of insurance at all. We are living from paycheck to paycheck and when we have to go to the doctor, we have to decide which bills will not get paid that month. Each bottle cost about $120 a piece and it requires a prescription to get it. Each doctors visit is at least $70 just for the visit. Then the insulin alone is almost $500 a month for her to survive. I really love my wife and I want her to live as long as she can. This is a last ditch effort as the other assistance programs have failed due to me having a job. It you can help in anyway possible please email me at philipjmcintire@gmail.com. Thank you in advance for your help!

3 kids and scared

Posted by stayinpositive on 2012-03-30 19:58:13

Hi I am a mother and a wife going through an extreme financial crisis with my family. I know this is odd to put on here, and I can't even believe I'm doing this. I am begging and pleading to please deposit a dollar in my paypal account. My husband was working, and he quit to go to another job that seemed great. It was 4 more dollars an hour, the hours were great ect. When he was supposed to start, the "new" job told him, there was no work lined up. Needless to say he was very angry. But he just put on his happy face and kept moving forward. He can't go back to his other job, as they already filled the position. What baffles me, is that this "new" job is the one who called him and said when are you ready to start, we have work lined up. We were so excited, because he waited for like a month and a half to see if he was going to be hired or not. What happened was this new place didn't get the contract they thought they were going to get. They should of never called him unless they were positive they had this contract. If they would of waited, my husband would still have a job.I would hope this wouldn't happen to any of you. This all happened two weeks ago, today... actually. Ever since he was told there was "no work" lined up, he has been up and out everyday looking for a job. Putting applications in online, and setting up interviews. If you have a job, consider yourself very lucky. No matter what, your job is not that bad. At least if you have one, if you do. We have 3 children, and I am scared to death. We have passed due bills, the mortgage, etc. I can get more detailed if you request. He was supposed to start last Monday, the 19th. We live pay check to pay check, not by choice. Unforeseen circumstances put us in the situation that we are in. My husband had, and still has medical problems, and neither of us have health insurance, as many of us Americans don't. He was on disability for a few years, and he requested to be taken off of it, so he could work. He also is not any better, but he took that time to get all his surgeries, that did nothing, except make it worse. Prescriptions are expensive, we have to pick and choose what prescription medications we are going to be able to get. I'm not going to elaborate any further, but if would like to know the whole story, you can email me. I will also provide what evidence I can, so you know that this is not a made up story. I want to thank each and every person, that just took the time to read this, even if you can't help. I know a lot of us have fallen on hard times, I just ask if you could please donate to us, or ask someone that could. If you are able to donate please email, and I will give the email for paypal. I just ask for a dollar, in hopes several people will be able to help us. It's a very scary situation to be in. I hope by reading this, you know in your heart that I am being honest. Please consider a donation to us. I thank you all and have a Blessed night.

Medical bills or car repair

Posted by LionLand on 2012-03-24 01:58:50

I am a 48yo male. I have about $3000 total in medical bills. I have had a heart condition since i was 21. About 15 years ago I went for heart surgery and got a staph infection in my chest. I was in the hospital for months fighting this and was told I would not live. I am lucky to be alive 15 years later. However the staph damaged my heart. It enlarged it and over time I developed heart failure in 2004. Then I became diabetic in 2005. The staph also destroyed bone in my chest. I had to have my sternum removed. I also developed irregular heart beats leaving me dizzy most of the time. This left me disabled on Social Security and medicare (which I appreciate but dont like being on "the system .. its wrong). Before this I always work 60 to 100 hours a week. Which also contributed my poor health. In 2008 I had my second heart attack (a minor one). It was actually lucky for me. Doctors installed a defibrillator with pacing technology. My dizzy spells were finally under control. Since then I have been working hard to build strength so I can go back to work and have a normal productive life. My car ..is no longer road worthy. Needs about $2300 in repairs. Now I have trouble making appointments to my Cardiologist, primary care Physician and physical therapy. This year i have missed 6 doctors appointments and had to stop all therapy. I also have trouble picking up medication on time so i go with out them sometimes up to a week. I get $1500/mo from Social Security. $96 of that goes toward medicare insurance premium. My rent is $500/mo. My medications are $400/mo and that is with prescription help. With out that help my meds are $1476. My utilities run $400/on average. The rest I spend on food, car insurance and medical bills ($3000 which i pay $25 to $100/mo when i can). I am asking for any help. If I don't get help my health will continue to decline. I will die within a year or two. I just starting gaining muscles back in my legs and arms I still have a long way to go. I need to get cardiac therapy to make my heart stronger. It isn't something I can do at home because I need to be monitored the whole time. Please help. Time is important I have already lost 5 months of therapy and i am getting weaker. I beg you. Please.

Without hope

Posted by mycologyluvr on 2012-01-12 20:58:06

I am 38 yr old mother of 3 married for 17 yrs. Been with spouse 19 yrs total. Spouse is an alcoholic. I'm a disabled high school drop out with a GED. This past year spouse destroyed our marriage yet I'm stuck in this hell with no way out. I can't get disability or SSI. I have no income, savings or any way to support my kids. When I told spouse I wanted a divorce he was going to walk away & leave me with no way to pay the rent or utilities. Can't afford an attorney can't afford anything to be honest. I depend upon him for income. My list of health problems began at age 17 & have continued to compile since. Can not be treated for my medical conditions due to my hypersensitivity to prescription medications & allergies to opiates & codeine. My existence is utterly miserable!! I need a way out of this hell. Everyone deserves to be happy even me. I have to provide stability to my children so I live a lie day to day pretending to be his partner friend & lover. Honestly it is enough to make one have no desire to live. I am trapped in hell with 3 kids. I have been diagnosed with degenerative disc disease, fibromyalgia, restless leg syndrome, herniated T11-12, chronic tendinitis of the groin, eczema. I have very bad allergies with frequent allergic reactions to things in my environment and have no idea what they are. I will be allergy tested next week. The week after I start testing for lupus & kidney disease if nothing is found on scope test of my bladder. I stay sick get many things at one time & it takes me much longer to recover than normal people. There has to be a way out of this with some dignity. I was told by an SSI rep that I am one of those people that just falls through the cracks. There has to be hope for us down here for Christ sake there has to be

Never Thought It Would Come to This--Please Help

Posted by AppreciativeRecipient on 2011-12-18 13:58:58

Without sufficient friends or family to rely on, a single person with special-needs pets needs your help in any amount. No steady work in spite of many interviews and diligent searching, multiple health issues, and lack of adequate support network have left this person in a desperate situation. Ten dollars will buy a bag of groceries. One hundred dollars will pay an electricity bill. Eight hundred dollars will help keep this person and the pets in their home. Eighty dollars will help keep communications open so this person can continue to look for work. Eighty-three dollars will buy prescription dry and canned pet food. Twenty dollars will pay for human prescriptions. Two hundred dollars will buy a warm winter coat that fits and which is suitable for job interviews. Five dollars will buy a thrift store garment in the person's current size (presentable clothes that fit are an issue). One hundred twenty dollars will buy a suit for a job interview. Sixty dollars will buy shoes that do not hurt and which are suitable for work. Thirty dollars will help pay for the laundromat for a couple of weeks. Fifteen dollars will buy an herbal supplement to help treat a life-threatening condition.

The financial situation for this person has become very dire due to lack of work. The person is applying for many types of jobs at any rate of pay. This is a skilled and educated individual who is eager to do any work of which the person is capabale. Any amount can help relieve the health-robbing pressure and burden on this person. Two hundred fifty dollars would allow the person to get a needed cleaning for the first time in over two years and to check on tooth pain and a possible jaw problem. Ten dollars will cover the required donation required to visit a low-income medical clinic. Twenty-five dollars will cover most urgent prescriptions for a month.

Two dollars will buy a little bit of fruit. Four hundred dollars will provide a vision exam and new glasses or a couple of pair of replacement lenses as this person is having difficulty seeing with the old glasses.

Please forgive the third person description. It is very hard to write this and just about impossible to use the word "I" in telling this story.

Even a tiny amount will help go for something necessary. No amount is too large or too small to be appreciated or put to practical use to help a very grateful person climb out of a very bad situation and create a more stable and secure life. Thank you again for reading.

Vet Bills, Lost my Job

Posted by lifestudent on 2011-09-01 15:58:26

Hello

Thank you for taking some time to read my story. Today I found out that I had lost my job of eight years. Trying to stay positive in this economy. The last six months have been rough for our cats. In March we had to have Nick our black cat put to sleep because of kidney failure. his bills added up to $500. Then our cat Betty had to be put to sleep for a failing thyroid and her last bill was over $250. In June and July our Orange Tabby Rusty had to have blood work done and we found out he has FIP. That stands for Feline Immune Peritonitis. His bills added up to $500. My wife rescued a Silver Tabby. Her name is Bella and she is about three months old.Although she is a young healthy cat her bills have been shots and boosters adding up to $200. All of our cats have been strays that we adopted. We keep them in the house and buy the best food we can afford. Rusty really needs AD which is a prescription only diet and the cans are $2.50 a piece. compared to .50 cents a can for the other stuff that has meat by products which is euthanized cats and dogs. I can't bring myself to feed that to our cats.We love our cats, but the bills have been a bit much. Not to mention my car needs about $1000 in repairs for tires, brakes and struts. My last bill looming over me is $20,000 in student loans. Give what you can and our family appreciates your generosity very much.

need help paying bills

Posted by loyerd6 on 2011-08-14 16:58:08

We need help paying our bills. My husband was in a bad car accident which totaled our SUV. It was paid off, but still ran like a dream. We had hoped to keep it until we ran it into the ground. We got another used car, but not long after that my husband got laid off. Unemployment denied his claim because the employer told them he missed too much work. My father-in-law passed away just before Christmas and my husband's employer told him to take as much time as he needed. When he called them and told them he would be out for the week (we had to travel 600 miles for the funeral) and they told him that would be a problem and they would talk after he got back. He had been back about 2 weeks when they called and told him not to bother coming back. We appealed unemployment's decision, but we lost. He has not been able to find another job. Our son and I both have medical problems and both have to take prescription medicine. We have insurance, but we have very high co-pays, so I have done without my medicine so our son can have his. We are on the verge of losing our house and car. We have used all our savings, cancelled our cable, landline and cellphones. Our only line of communication is the computer. We rarely watch TV anymore, we don't even use lights that much since we light candles to see after dark. Friends of mine bought groceries for us about a month ago, but those are now all gone. We have sold as many of our personal belongings as we could. We sold our bed frames and put the mattresses on the floor. We have no one we can move in with and no one we can borrow money from. Any help we get will be greatly appreciated. Thank you and May God Bless You All.

Almost there but feeling a little down.

Posted by epaq on 2011-07-19 23:58:27

Well, I'm not quite sure where to start with this post. I will tell you a little bit about my situation. I am a 25 year old female who has almost completed my bachelors degree in Criminology and am hoping to go for my masters degree next year.
I grew up in a dysfunctional household so chaos is not a new thing for myself or my family. However, I consider myself to be different and believe that I have a purpose in life and that is to help others.

In May of this year (the beginning of my semester) my life had turned upside down. I was going through extreme family issues earlier this year as my brother has mental health issues as well as drug/alcohol dependency issues. Nevertheless, I had managed to cope with family situations and tried my best to be strong and focus on my own life ( a difficult thing to do when you are always worried about others). On the evening of may 12th I was settling in to bed when I received a phone call from one of my sisters that my other sister had been rushed to the hospital. I had quickly come to the emergency room to find that she had overdosed on many prescription pills. I had waited in emergency for two hours not knowing at all what was happening. The RN informed me that they had to just let the drugs go through her system and it was a waiting game. By the time they had told me, it was about 2 in the morning. I got a ride home from one of her friends, however five minutes later I got a text from my sister in law (brother's wife) to call 9-1-1. I called the police and we drove to my brother's house. I had walked in and there was blood everywhere.I couldn't tell what who's blood it was. I was in shock. To make this short, both of my siblings had attempted suicide in the same evening. My sister was put on life support and my brother was put in psych. This night has left me traumatized to say the least.
I had to take the rest of the semester off however it was too late to get a refund on my tuition. I know that I am still dealing with the trauma of what happened that night/early morning. I guess It was the straw that broke the camel's back. My doctor had recommended that I took a break until September to avoid stress. I am working hard towards healing in every way possible. I have found a new job that starts on August 2nd to help pay for my tuition for this September, however I am still struggling as this much needed mental break has taken a toll on my finances. I had not prepared myself for this kind of situation.
The only thing I can do at this point is focus on getting out of the darkness.I would love to go back to finish my degree in September so I can move on with my life. I want to help others who are in these types of situation because many people were such a huge support for me. If you could help pay for any of my tuition for this upcoming semester I promise to pay it forward whenever I can in life. I know this is a long shot. I don't expect much but miracles happen every day. I can provide proof of my schooling, gpa, and tuition fees or anything else you would like to know. Anything will help at this point. If you have read this far, thanks for taking the time to read this.


Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,
Emily (Vancouver, BC Canada)
-PS- to all who are reading this, I will make sure to update everyone on if I get any donations. I hope that everyone else on here gets the help they need. Good Luck to all of you.

Ever done something stupid?

Posted by momwithfaith on 2011-06-22 11:58:16

I know, all of us have. But you know that sinking, desperate feeling when you realize it? Well, as they say, hindsight is 20/20...

I'm a 37 year old mother of 2. I left my husband a few months ago due to his inability to put family first. He was spending all of our money to support his addiction to pain pills. Long story shorter, when the kids and I moved out, he said it was a huge wake-up call for him and that he realized how badly he had messed up. He got off the pills (or at least quit buying other than his actual monthly prescription from his doctor) and told me how sorry he was and how much he wanted help and to change.

Given that we have been married almost 9 years, I thought I owed our relationship another chance - without the influence of his habit or having to constantly worry about how we would get by. A little over a month and a half ago I allowed him to move into my house. Since that time, things have steadily regressed. I have caught him in lies a few times about money, and am now facing losing my car because he used my payment for himself instead of taking it to the car lot. I also found out that he is once again letting pain pills rule his life.

I've had enough! However, I'm stuck relying on him to help with the bills right now until I start my new job in mid-July (I was laid-off this month from the job I had).

I want to do the right thing for my children and for myself. I don't only blame my husband - I blame myself as well for allowing things to get to be the way they are. I don't intend to wallow in self-pity though. I want him out, and I plan to make a better life for me and my kids. I just need a little help getting there...

Any money that I receive will go to pay my rent and utilities, and to buy groceries. I am taking classes and will be licensed soon as an insurance agent. I am not one to sit around and just rely on others to pay my way, I just need help getting through a rough patch.

It is my sincere hope that I will be able to help others in need as well. I truly believe in paying it forward. Thank you for taking the time to read this, and for any amount that you are able to donate. May God bless you and yours.

A hand up

Been struggling for over a year now, finally got a way out, a new job, the issue being my new job cost me enough initially to throw off my precariously ballanced budget putting me far enough behind I am in danger of losing my house. I had my hours cut on my last job to unlivable and I wound up having to spend my mortgage to update my prescription for glasses for my new job and now on training wages I can't seem to catch up, I got a pay day loan and that made bad worse, my mortgage isn't huge, I am only 850 Behind, this months and a portion of last months, and still with the payday loan fees I have to manage to feed my kids. I am a single mom, dads a flake and keeps pulling a vanishing act, have 4 Kids to support. I wouldn't try this but I don't know where else to go, 1000 Dollars even is all I need I would even consider a loan if it was reasonable rates, but my credit is shot due to my ex and the divorce. Please help if you can thank you for consideration, Wendy
I hate this. I don't think I've ever asked for help in my life and I feel a little ashamed for doing so. I'm bawling, and angry at myself and well, at just about everything right now.

My husband and I have been married for four years and we recently bought our first house together. (Well, condo actually because we can't afford a house.)

My husband suffers from severe depression and anxiety. While it can fluctuate, currently he's on a downward spiral. This is the worst I've seen him in the 8 years I've known him. It's been absolutely heartbreaking to see him like this. We have him seeing a psychiatrist and a therapist - the psychiatrist keeps prescribing medications that our prescription drug plan doesn't cover (mostly because he's tried entirely too many things) and are expensive. He's seeing a therapist once a week that we're paying for out of pocket as well. We started him in an anger management class but we can no longer afford it. For the past 3 months or so, it's been very difficult just to get through day-to-day activities for him, and it's taking it's toll on me as well.

Anyway, when we moved we used most of our 'extra' money for all the unexpected costs associated with buying a new home. (Silly first-time homebuyers. We had no idea what to expect.) So we were stretched pretty thin to begin with. Now, after being here a few months we find that our car insurance will be increasing by 50%. (Apparently we should have stayed in the city - we thought moving away from it would be better!) Not only that but we will have to pay the difference on our policy for the few months retroactive to the tune of $900 each month for June and July. Unfortunately since our little nest egg was used in all the 'new home' expenses, we just don't have anything extra to cover this. We tried to cancel the car insurance to just take the bus for awhile, but since our car is financed they won't let us do that.

Then... I lost my job on May 27th. We were given less than 24 hours notice that the company was closing. I was working at an at-home position, which was so perfect for me as I too suffer from depression, anxiety, panic attacks, and migraines, so working from home was always a blessing. I'm unable to apply for unemployment as my job was self-contracted (basically paid under the table and I was to file tax documents at the end of the year).

To add insult to injury, my company has not yet paid us for the PREVIOUS paycheck owed, nevertheless our final paychecks.

My mortgage is due, my condo fees are due, my student loans are due, of course there is the car payment and insurance due, the groceries are running low. My husband has stopped taking his medication, stopped going to anger management classes, and we've cut his therapist down to once every other week. We've already cut unnecessariy things like cable, tried adjusting our budget, etc but we just can't make it through these next two months, especially if I don't get paid or I don't find a job right away.

I'm desperately seeking a new job, but in the meantime our bills are piling up and we just can't pay them since I haven't been paid in a month. I don't know what to do. I know things will get better. They have to. But right now I'm having a hard time convincing myself of anything otherwise... We just need to get back on our feet.

Just need help getting back on my feet

I am the mother of 5 children ages 11, 9, 6, 6 and 2. One of my 6 year old children is legally blind but otherwise blessed with intelligence and no other problems. My story is like this, in 2007 after 15 years of marriage I left my first husband due to his prescription drug and alcohol addiction. He stayed in our four kids lives for about 6 months and then disappeared. He has never paid any child support or even supported them at all since the divorce. I have since then met and married my husband and we have a 2 year old little girl together. I have worked at the same company for the last two years and I try very hard to support my kids. My husband works as a mechanic and due to the economy, his income has dropped. If we could only get $15K we could pay off the two loans we have, get caught up on our utility bills, pay the bank the money I owe them and for once go to a regular store to get our children's clothing. My van which is the only way we have to go anywhere, is falling apart. Summer is coming up and the air doesn't work. I need two tires for the back of it. I make decent money but I have 299 coming out every two weeks for insurance, life insurance and things for the future and what if's. Any help we could get would be great. We are in a rental that is really too small for us but we make do with what we have. My daughter starts sixth grade this year and it would be nice to be able to buy her the instrument she wants for band. My son would like to play baseball but we just cant afford the uniform or fee's they have. For once, it would be nice to catch a break from all the stress. I was diagnosed in 2009 with Rheumatoid Arthritis and it is absoutely the most painful thing i have ever felt. If it were not for it, I would be working another job. My body just wont allow it. Please, I am throwing my pride away for my children's sake. I am so tired of telling them "not today" when they ask me for things which is actually not that often. Just once, it would be nice to say "ok...you deserve it". please help me just this once and I promise to one day pay it forward. Thank you for your time and consideration.
