Vivian, I do not think anyone is wishing Tammy ill will, but everyone in that position has to be calling around a lot and it is intensive. My niece who is 37 got two tumors one on her carotid, one on her jugular, and she inherited one hundred thousand dollars in medical bills because only the House Institute could operate on her with a gamma knife. She was being followed for years with epilepsy, Mr.'s, exams, depression when in fact she had acoustic nueromas that became very large and entwined in her jugular and carotid on two sides and a real young ear nose and throat doctor caught it because she said her ears swished and they had red dots on them. She lost her job as respiratory therapist, insurance, and is a single parent. I helped her get ssi and her doctor got her emergency medicaid for six months. I called 211 and they gave me local resources to get help with her light bill, transportation costs, sitters, meals, groceries, and care for awhile. We applied for pharmacy assistance programs, asked doctors for samples, the doctors asked the pharmacy representatives to bring samples. we asked around for someone for her to rent a room from. There are meals on wheels and other meal programs through churches. They even referred me to the epilepsy foundation that gave her financial assistance because she had epilepsy. So, it might take many calls, asking around, and research but you have to stay at it and make the calls and effort. I hope Tammy gets the assistance she needs, I can only share what I did and asking is all I know to do and research on the internet.
