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

I am 45 years young and I am a single mother of a 5 year old son with Autism. He is truly wonderful and amazing and I have been truly blessed! I was devasted when he was diagnosed 4 years ago. He also has severe food allergies to Milk, Dairy, Cheese, All Nuts, Eggs, Beef, Pork, and Tomatoes. He has almost died due to allergic reactions to food. He still is eating Gerber Rice Cereal mixed with Similac Alimentum ($30.00 a can). He will only drink from a specific cup with a straw. He is not potty-trained yet and I am still purchasing diapers for him. I should own stock in the diaper industry at this point! He requires my care 24/7 so I am unable to work. Unfortunately, his father is a deadbeat and I don't get a dime or diaper from him. He abused me for years almost beating me to death. I am a Domestic Violence Survivor, no longer a victim! I moved to Kentucky with him prior to my son's birth leaving my family and friends behind. His family has nothing to do with me or my son because I had him arrested and he was incarcerated for a while. I have been in and out of shelters on the waiting list for Housing, which is long. I can't afford to go home to Boston, MA. I currently bear the burdens of Rent, Utilities, Food, Clothing, and Toiletries for both me and my son. I receive SSI for my son which is a monthly income of $674.00. I am on the verge of being evicted and my heat was turned off because I couldn't make payment. I want my son to be proud of me and the guilt is overwhelming!
If someone is reading this, please find it in your heart to help/donate to a wonderful little boy who is a gift to the world! I would be forever grateful!

My life depends on a donation, which can be made directly to MEDICARE.

I am a 41 year old female who was in 1983 was infected with HIV virus. Within 10 years time was severely ill with plaque psoriasis plus full blown AIDS complications.

Began to receive disability & medical insurance through Medicaid & Tenn Care support (state based medical insurance)approx 1995.

In 2000, had an opportunity to start a fine jewelry business. Went to Social Security Department & was allowed to go back to work on TICKET TO WORK PROGRAM. In 2003-2004, Social Security Department cut off my disability benefits. Was allowed to keep my Medicare free for 4.5 years.

The jewelry business supported me from 2000- 2005. One year after losing disability benefits, in 2005/6, the business went on a steep decline. I struggled to reinvent the company and had to become a Jill of many trades to survive. My economic situation as self employed never fully recovered. Could not work a regular job because the injection medication causes severe injection site reactions which are very painful.

In 2009, lost my TENN CARE INSURANCE COVERAGE and the Medicare benefits because my TICKET TO WORK time had expired.Medicare offered me plan part D which costs approx $2600 a year including medications. But I was hit with a $600 premium right off the bat because my medicine is so expensive it immedietaly put me in the "donut hole".

I could not afford to pay it. I tried. No matter how hard I worked, could not get the Medicare premium money of $600 to give to Medicare.

This is how I have ended up without medical insurance.

As a person living with HIV/AIDS for 3/4 of my life, 27 full years total it is very worriesome to know I can not see a doctor or perhaps even get meds. The medicine I take is salvage treatment therapy. If I do not have access to this medicine, I can develop resistance to it. There are no other medication options for me as a long time survivor. Thank you for reading my need!
