Sick with medical and utility bills

Post by Preetip »

I just don't know who else to call for aid.I am a 51 year old white man that has been trying to get ssi because of my health for the past three months now.Social security so far now has sent me to a 70 something retired doctor who only works on saturdays and a shrink
obviously not sending me to a real doctor who will take my blood and hopefuly tell me what is wrong with me that i don't already know.
It's no wonder it is a slow process.It started with my health about a year and a half ago when i found out that i had vitago a uncurable skin desease that gives you big white blotches on your face and could spread,then got a gum disease to which all my teeth fell out in one month making me have to get dentures which haven't fit right yet,then i won a free eye exam online only to find out that my vision is very
bad but also they found a big dark spot on my right eye that the doctor says eventualy will have to come out.I have no energy at all and my blood pressure is so low most of tjhe time that i end up passing out and along with having aszma real bad that sometimes i can barely breathe.I have lived in the same two bedroom house in gladstone for over 19 years now and only pay $300.00 a month for rent but am starting to get behind and even though my landlords love me there is only so much sympathy people can do.I've had a 5 day shut off notice from pge that has come and gone and now it is so high that when they do turn me off i will never be able to get it turned back on.You have my e-mail

I am working part time and my wife is disabled with diabetes. We are a month and a half late on our electric bill, $380 dollars behind on April's rent. The landlord has mailed us numerous letters stating how close we are to being evicted. Our gas was shut off in March 2011, the landlord turned it back on in her name. We are two months behind paying her for our usage. My hours have been cut at work from 20hours a week to, 12 hours a week. We are scared and know that we can not afford to pay for moving expenses and a rental deposite for another place. Please is there any kind of help that we can depend on? Thank you!

If you wife has diabetes you may be able to qualify for a financial assistance/cash grant directly from your power company. Most utility companies offer grants for people with medical conditions, the disabled, elderly, and very low income. You didn't mention your state. Find state energy assistance resources and services, by state.

That is great of you to take care of your dad. Did you formally look into medical bill assistance programs. We do have information on how to apply, including agencies to ask and tips and tricks. Just keep calling around to agencies for help with rent, utilities, and other bills and expenses. Also are your other family members trying to help out too, like brother and sister. Find ways to get help applying for medical bills.

Hi, I was hoping and also wandering if you or your organization could help me with some information about my medical bills and debts. For example, I now owe close to five thousand dollars in medical bills to the local hospital due to a illness that started about three months ago, and required me to go to a hospital in Florida. It seems as though it has turned out to be my gall bladder has an infection. I am now seeing a doctor in Orlando who is a specialist, and they are now giving me high definition test are being done on my thyroid, bladder and parathyroid. I am thankfully employed so I do have health insurance with a 2500 dollar deductible, which is not bad, but we still need to obviously pay quite a bit of money. My husband has been cut back to four days per week on his check. I do work as I can in between appointments. I have a daughter who does qualify for public health care in Florida too. Our income is in the mid 40K, and we have a home loan and car payment too, not to mention we owe a little on my husbands Visa card. Could you point me in the right direction for help.

For those existing medical bills of $5000, then try credit counseling. however you also seem to imply you need some public health care too, and that is an option in Florida. There are government options such as Pre-Existing Condition Insurance Plan and of course the federal Medicaid program. We have tons of info for people that either lack or are underinsured. Those resources are here. http://www.needhelppayingbills.com/html ... care_.html

I was very sick this last month therefore could not go to work and so my paycheck is little to almost nothing. I usually do my best saving for rent, the medical bills I owe the doctor and utility. I am able to is the last bit of my money for utility but have no way of coming up with rent this month.
I have never fallen short of my rent before. I just truly need the assistance rite now. I would be more than grateful. I am at a loss ends rite now and don't know what to do. I have no money right now and with rent rite around the corner it's very scary and frustrating. I'm mad at myself for letting this happen and any help would be so much appreciated and a lifesaver. Thank you for taking time out of your day to read this.
