Hello!
I don't know where to start, my name is Audra, and I am desperately trying to find some kind of help for my brother-in-law. He is currently in Ft Wayne Indiana rehabilitation hospital, and they have called me and are wanting his family to go pick him up and care for him. I was told he will be discharged on 10/5/25. here that can help us would be greatly appreciated.

I don't know where to start, my name is Audra, and I am desperately trying to find some kind of help for my brother-in-law. He is currently in Ft Wayne Indiana rehabilitation hospital, and they have called me and are wanting his family to go pick him up and care for him. I was told he will be discharged on 10/5/25. The problem is he is in Indiana and ALL his family lives in Texas. Getting him from there to here is not the problem. He is in bad medical shape. He is totally paralyzed on left side and none of his family has the ability to care for him in one of our homes.
He has no insurance and no job or any money. I tried to get him in a local nursing home but no insurance so they could not help us. He still needs a lot of therapy and may never regain use of his left side. This is all new to us and we have been trying to figure out a way to help him with medical needs but our hands are tied. Nobody in his family is either not physically able to care for him and others have jobs to go to just to pay our bills and care for our children. He has no children and his wife died about a year ago. Please, any help or originations out there that can help us would be greatly appreciated.
There may be a few different options for you. Maybe tree a local community clinic or government qualified health center. They may be able to help you in your condition, or they may not be able to. But even if they can't, they may be able to redirect you. Find an extensive listing of Indiana clinics and details on the programs they offer. Also try calling some non-profits, charities, and government programs in Fort Wayne, and those can be found here. http://needhelppayingbills.com/html/for ... ogram.html

I have hypogammaglobulinemia and severe asthma that doesn't respond to conventional treatment. My last specialist told Soc. Sec. that I am cured, even though hypogammaglobulinemia is a life-long condition, and they believed him, so I lost my benefits.
I have been very ill for the last three weeks, fighting for air most of the time. I have tricare insurance, but we're under the poverty line and can't afford the deductibles and co-pays, or prescriptions. I can't get Medicaid because they don't believe I am disabled and expect me to get a job. I am not a lazy person. I am simply too sick too often to function in any workplace.
On top of this, I have four children and no childcare, and a severe neurological/visual problem that keeps me from driving very far. At the moment, I'm too sick to drive anyway, and my husband is always working and can't take time off.
The only care I have access to in a dire emergency is the ER, where doctors & nurses have usually not even heard of what's wrong with me, and give me standard but completely useless treatments and then send me home with prescriptions I can't fill and tell me to follow up with a physician I can't afford to see.
Is there any way I can get medical care? This is so hard with no help. I am not a hypochondriac, I hate to go to the doctor, but I am so sick right now it scares me.
