Hi,
We obviously have many options listed below - such as the links to our main prescription medication program. But here are some other options - see this for Pharmacy prescription savings programs and discount options.
Also try the NeedyMeds program at https://www.needymeds.org/

Hi,
Since you have so many needs, you will need to try multiple resources and programs. As obviously any place that will help with prescriptions will almost certainly be different then a rent program. Therefore, look here for a list of financial resources for local communities.

Inquiring where to get help with prescription medications for a teenager, help with utilities, help with rent, help with doctor, help with gas and car expenses to get to the pharmacy and work.
I am a single mom, suffering with a back injury and need pain killer prescriptions for it. I cannot work. I am trying to support a 14 year old daughter and our little dog without any income. I need so much and have so little to do it. My car needs so many repairs to stay running, my tags are expired. My rent is coming due, my utilities are behind, my dog is almost out of prescription medication not mention my medications are done. The summer is coming, I am concerned about what I am going to do. Please let me know what resources are available or what help you can refer me to. Thank you.

Many drug companies offer assistance for prescription drugs to low income, unemployed, and other struggling families. They can give them a coupon, or maybe voucher. But generally you can't have insurance and need to be very low income. But try those for what you need.

So you already have the items at the pharmacy? If so, it may be too late to receive prescription help. Most programs require people to apply for assistance first, before they access the medications as they need to approve it. But you can try anyway, as there are different places to try. We have many resources listed, and find free prescription medications.

I recently moved to Wylie, Texas to stay with a friend. I am waiting for a hearing on my social security disability to be scheduled, but currently have no income or savings. I have medications at the pharmacy I can't afford to pick up, including mental health medications. My phone will be cut off on November 6th if I can't get money for the straight talk card. I have no family here besides my 14 year old son & no family elsewhere to help financially. I need those prescriptions and I don't know what to do. Please help me. Thank you for your time.

I have 1,300 in tickets so my license is revoked. I can get my job back but not until I get the tickets paid off and because I lost my job I can’t pay any of my bills so they shut my power off. I need power on and my job back cause I have my niece her son and she has one on the way. I also have my two and my partner I do have one other thing to. I am trying to save my house. Like I said I hit my all time low and I am just looking for some help to get back on track. Thank you.

Dear sir/ madam
I am writing this asking if you could help me . My friend is in Portland Oregon with her mom who was diagnosed with cancer and in order for her to be treated she needs money for medical bills and prescriptions of which she hasn't got. Her mum needs injections for pain weekly and she is really struggling with everything including food. I was wondering if there is any organization that can help her and she is the only one looking after her mum. She is mentally and physically exhausted.She might do with some help she doesn't have anyone to help. Thank you Regards

Not sure which manufacturer makes those drugs, but many companies have prescription assistance programs. Call the drug maker or ask your doctor. You can also try companies like Healthwell, which work directly with manufacturers. They also can provide free or low cost medications.

Here are various tips and methods to save on prescriptions. Try options like splitting pills, using generics, buy online, and take advantage of prescription assistance programs from places like Wal MArt and Wal Greens. All of these are just a few different options and resources for you. Prescription assistance programs from drug companies are also a good option. Many provide free medications to low income people. Merck, J&J, Abbot, and other pharmaceutical companies run these programs.

Here are some different ways to get prescription medications and drugs. There are such options as Patient Assistance Programs, which are medications from drug companies. Other options such as organizations known as Partnership for Prescription Assistance also have ways to get assistance and meds.

Many drug companies are now providing more free meds and drugs to help with this terrible economy. If you can't gey anything for free, defintely take advantage of the generic drugs offered by companies such as Wal Mart, Costco, and Target. They save you huge.

Also, many governmets offer a prescription drug discoutn card that give 25% immediate savings. The cards are free, and thousands of pharmacies accept them. Contact your local county government. The card is usually called the NACo prescription drug discount card program.
