I’ve had a work related accident, and have a injuries to my left ankle, my head, shoulder and lower back. It hurts badly. My shoulder comes out off place a lot, and it has nerve damage to it. It feels like lighting going thought my shoulder, and going down my spine to my fingertips.

I was hurt on the job, where 200 lb weight fell on top of me. It hit my head first, then down my left shoulder - then slamming my body down like a pancake, to a cement floor. I am no logger getting my benefits. The only thing that my job would pay for is my right ankle. I had to get the rest of my injury\’s checked out my self. The prescriptions that I currently need cost me over $600 every 2 weeks. I can not work, and have no money coming in. Please help!

The implications of a single parent with two children and a limited income are a lifetime of unbelievable stress and worry on how to pay for the medication.

Dennis has worked hard to make a good home for his children. He is presently trying to work, go to school to be a paramedic and raise his two children.

I ask you to please help him to receive the medication that he needs in order to maintain a healthy and positive life.

My husband has had very high premiums through his employers, and it is not easy to afford their policies. We have had prescription coverage in the past(through medical insurance), but prescriptions are expensive, with or without the insurance. My daughter and I both have asthma, and my husband has severe chronic sinusitis. We all need some kind of daily prescription medication, but we just can’t afford it!

Since then we have to pay for all our medical bills. The say we make to much money to qualify for any assistance. Yet we do not make enough money to be able to pay what they want a month for private insurance. This has placed a real hardship on our family.

I am living with my girl-friend. We both have low paying jobs and are just trying to make a life for ourselves. ;I had to go to the ER one night. The visit along with no prescription plan, cost me over $400.00. As a young couple starting out, we have no money for any kind of sicknesses. We have to stay at home and pray that we get better. Going to the doctor these days will cost you a fortune. UNREAL!

Through all the allergy shots, asthma treatments, and trips to the ER the insurance always provided financial backing. Starting around the age of 15 I began treatment and therapy for depression which has severely affected my life. After this diagnosis was made soon followed the second mood disorder. I was blessed with my father's insurance coverage and then graduated from high school, became one more member of the working class, and because of my decision to only be a part time student my father's health insurance will no longer cover me. Being on my own I've struggled with being financially able to pay for the three medications I need to take to function normally as an individual who is bipolar.
