It sounds like you should qualify for Medicaid and food stamps, don't be too proud that you don't check this out.Do you not have any relatives who can help you? would filing for bankrupcy help? I am just throwing ideas out there...Can you call a church near you and see if there are church members who can help you? Sometimes there are food pantries where you can get free food also, besides the food stamps.And if you are diagnosed as terminal, you might want to contact hospice to see what they can do to help you...sorry if not much help..i will pray for you.
First go to fia, united way, american cancer society, candlelighters, keep filling out applications until you get help. There are tons of support out there also talk to a friend or family member about holding an auction/benefit dinner for you.Under no circumstances should someone who is ill lose all they own. Don't be too proud to ask for help. A lot of cancer clinics have a social worker who can help also.
There are countless being concerned human beings and organization which you would be able to consult. organic maximum cancers scientific care has a compliation of a catalogue of such non-income corporation that grants information, peer help, and advocacy by way of classes, a information clearinghouse, and a community of interior of reach help communities. This non-income organization (NPO) maintains a catalogue of businesses to which eligible households could prepare for financial counsel.
I am sorry for everything thats going on. My mom had breast cancer last yr and thank god everything came out fine. last tuesday to be exact she was diagnosed with liver and bone cancer. I dont know where you live but here in Miami, Florida they have a cancer research center that will take patients and do there chemo and radiation for free!. If you have any questions please email me. I personally dont think they have any where else but just in case you live in Miami, Florida. Good luck and have lots and lots of faith in god. god bless!
Check with your local chapter of the American Cancer Society. They will be able to hook you up with the resources available in your area. Also, local social services agencies may be able to help. That is what they are there for.
