Veteran Husband recently passed away, no where to turn.
Posted by airbrshldy on 2012-02-11 10:58:09
My husband, who is a Vietnam vet, passed away recently (October 8th, 2011) from Bone and Lung Cancer at home. First of all, he wanted to spend the rest of his life home with me and our pets (three Mini Dachshunds and two kitties). Also, the VA wouldn't be able to control his pain enough so that he could enjoy the remainder of his life so he went under Hospice care. They strive for quality of life and they were amazing.
The problem with that was that when you die at home, the VA covers nothing at all. Had he died in the VA they would've covered his funeral expenses. We didn't have life insurance. He had started a policy, but the bill for the first payment came in on Monday, the 10th. He died Saturday the 8th.
He died here at home and then was placed in the funeral home morgue until we could come up with enough of a down payment for his funeral (I believe it was $2000.00) I still owe something around $5,000. He stayed in that morgue for around three weeks before we could gather up that money. Not a good way to treat a vet at all.
I had left my job to take care of and be with him until he died, this is what he wanted. We didn't have insurance or any kind of state medical help. We lived on his disability check that he received monthly. There are no survivor benefits, VA or Social Security I've been told either. We had only been married a year. We have been together since 2002, but got married Sept. 21, 2010. We had our first anniversary a couple weeks before he died. As far as I know, SS people have told me we must have been married for ten years in order to get any kind of survivor benefits.
We had sold our boat, truck, and spent any money that we had toward our living expenses and to help with down-payment on funeral.
Now, I'm back to work but it is part time, I make $7.50 per hour (sometimes as little as 20 hours every two weeks). Telephone survey taker. I don't qualify for state help other than food stamps.
I've been looking for work since he died and not getting any responses at all. I am on the Michworks website numerous times a day, every day besides checking the local papers, and any other things I can think of.
Right now as I write this, I am due to lose our home (we rented this for the last nine years). My rent was due on the first. I have borrowed money, sold household items, and gotten help from the area charity places that I could. Every month has been a struggle and every month I think "okay, I've gotten the rent paid this month and I SHOULD have a new job by the next time the rent is due", but sadly it is not working that way. I don't know what to do anymore. I'm beginning to lose faith. I absolutely cannot get rid of our pets either. I promised I would never let anything happen to them and I wont. Besides, they are our little ones, our family that we had together. They are also what is keeping me going. I cannot imagine life without them and him too.
I am at the end of my rope now. I didn't want to resort to this and it really is a blow but I don't know what else to do anymore.
I hope that there is someone out there that will read this and be able to help me somehow.
Thank you so much.
Young woman starting out, needing help.

I live with my boyfriend and we had both just started new jobs, we're already late on rent and have NO gas or food at all and no money in our pocket because of so many things that just keep popping up in life :/ My bf got let go at work because he doesn't have a Texas ID yet, still another state ID. Which is lame because they didn't tell him anything about it at all until Saturday when he went to them to ask if he could go home from a bad headache. So yeah, very unprepared. I drive to and from work (which is already at least 20 miles away) on E on my tank, freaking out. . . it takes forever in my county to get any financial help at all, food stamps, etc etc, we have no money or food. Even $1 would help?! Paying off a LOT of debt -- hospital bills, rent, utilities.
Please Help My Family and I

Personally requesting your help through donations for 2011 Chicago AIDS Walk
Posted by efletcher on 2011-09-15 12:58:15
I will be walking on behalf of the AIDS Run & Walk Chicago on Saturday, October 1, 2011. I am choosing to walk to raise money to help people impacted by this disease. There have been more than 450,000 Americans die from this disease and over a million more are living with HIV.
South Side Help Center (SSHC) has for over the past twenty years been a strong proponent and advocate for HIV/AIDS prevention and education, particularly in the Black community. Therefore, I am personally requesting your help through donations and/or participation in AIDS Run & Walk Chicago 2011.
Through the AIDS Walk, your contribution will help to continue our deep commitment to serve the greater south side of Chicago with programs and services that are needed to increase the chances for a better quality of life for our disadvantaged youth, adults and families and HIV/AIDS clients.
Thanking you in advance for your kind support that helps to make the meaningful difference that enables SSHC to work towards achieving its goals.
Sincerely,

Need money to pay $3000 Emergency room bill for my baby
Posted by kshitijds on 2011-09-04 15:58:33
The doctor's at Sutter Medical Hospital did not look at me for an hour and a half because may be they were busy?
But even after that they couldn't tell the reason my baby was crying for. She cried for 5 long hours without eating or drinking and yet they couldn't figure out what was wrong with her.
Her pediatrician finally gave a call only to tell that she will not be able to come-in to check me until the next day.
The doctor's finally asked us to stay at the hospital for the entire night. We were discharged the next day by giving a trivial reason that my 10 month old had some kind of infection in her right ear.
Few weeks later that is today, we got a bill from the hospital saying that we need to pay $3,209 immediately upon receipt.
I being the baby's Mom lost my job 2 years ago and haven't been successful in finding a new job. We even had to downsize our apartment and moved to the smallest available 1-Bedroom apartment few months ago. I work hard in the home to feed my baby home cooked that is cheaper than any formula and baby foods at Walmart. At the moment i don't see that i have any future amidst the dearth of this situation until someone is kind enough to help me out.
Can i rely upon you to help me out?

Need assistance
Posted by mmohio on 2011-03-22 09:58:18
I started working for a local company where i would have been working 40hrs a week plus voluntary weekend overtime. after about a week working there My foreman asked me to work thie upcoming saturday. I had to decline due to the fact I was schedualed to minister at a neighboring county's Juvenile center. When I told him that i already had previous plans and let him know it was an every other weekend arrangment he replied to me " You can either Keep your Job or go off and Preach" Still I felt my ministry was more important. Then I went back to apologize to him to let him know i would be available the next weekend he told me that I shouldnt make plans like this because to work in this company you had to work weekends. When I told him the HR hired me with the understanding weekends were voluntary he said she should not have told me that and it wasnt true and the schedual was about to be changed to 7 days a week mandatory! The following day i met with the HR and she in a kind way told me that the information she gave me was partially correct. I in return told her (in a christian manner) that i had to respectfully give a resignation because there is no way i could work every weekend I was already only seeing my wife 1hr a day if that. I figured i could have another job in about 3 weeks and we could live off of the little bit of money for the month! now 2 months later i live with my parents in a 3 bedroom trailer. This is not the situation i want to bring my baby boy into! Right now my wife and I are taking a financial course yet have no money to manage! I am in debt up to my eyeballs and m y parents are just as stripped. I am humbly asking for someone to please help me! I promise i will pay my tithes and offering 1st. You could be an answer to my prayer. Thank you and GOD BLESS!

Son's 18th Birthday Saturday!!! He's autistic! Love him so much!
Posted by AmyoftheLakes on 2011-02-03 10:58:58
My son, Dylan, is amazing. He has high functioning autism but holds a job and has been admitted to a prestigious art school in our town. I'm working part time for the art school to pay his tuition.
We are just at ground zero with no money. His birthday is Saturday. Whatever you can spare, I am not going all out with a Wii or anything. I just want to have a nice day with dinner out and fun family time.
He's such a good boy and he deserves much better.
Amy
