Guest guest Posted July 28, 2004 Report Share Posted July 28, 2004 Hi Nichole, That is awful. I know how you feel. I have been living in poverty for about 20 years now b/c i am chronically ill and I never asked for it either. I was a junior in college when i became sick and the Dr.'s didn't know what to do so here I am still sick and with more illnesses as time goes on. I had a great life planned for myself but now have had to live in poverty instead. If you made $17 an hour, your life will surely change. I'm not sure what happend, i know you spoke of WComp, if you will go back to work or get a settlement etc.??? Just want to say you are not alone in the " what happend to my dream " category. It is a shame that we who are ill must be forced to live in poverty and beg for housing, food etc. I am in the review process right now for services for housing assistance and health care assistance. Next year when my dad retires I even lose my Medicaid that pays my RX's. Great law that one is. People think the sick have a program for everything and are well taken care of but it is geting worse all the time. I am glad your dad has a place for you to live. I will find out next week if my HA goes through and how much I have to pay from my disability check for rent. I just saw your post and had to say something as I see how unfair things are. Sending good thoughts your way! Annette Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
