This comes from 77 year old senior. I survive on very low income and Medicare. I have no family in Omaha. In September my computer was hacked. It took until Nov 21 to get back where I had a new checking account and new ATM card. Many of my church family helped me at the time. Along with paying those folks back, I was also paying Medicare deductibles. I then was started on new health plan as I could no longer afford supplement that paid Medicare deductibles. Everything is on my insurance plan.
Nebraska Medicaid was paying my Medicare B premium but with new plan I may lose that help and that will reduce my social security even more and that is all I have plus tiny pension of less than 160 a month. All my retirement funds went to paying up bills and savings.
I have to keep savings up to pay new insurance plan copays. I have been put on a list to move to low income retirement apartments for 65 and older. I still need $1450 to clean my slate entirely before I move. I have been searching and searching online for help with no success. Most don't even reply to my emails. I suffer from severe depression and anxiety which is being treated. I have health issues which no longer allows me to stay in second floor studio where I live now. The stress and agony really affects my help. I just don't know where to turn for the help I need. I pray you will have some way to help me.

I beg you please.

Hello,
I have been placed in a serious situation. I am handicapped with kidney disease, chronic gout and rheumatoid I receive Medicare and was getting Medicaid. I have had hand surgery this month and had an infected hand for 5 weeks. I saw my doctor today and am having problems getting dressed, cooking and just minor little things. I am right handed and the surgery was on that hand, and both hands have deformity. My doctor was going to get me a home health worker so I could get dressed, wash my hair etc., but when I called Medicaid they said I no longer had it as of May 1st. I was never notified and Medicare won’t pay for the bill for the surgery. I am on a limited income (SSDI) and do not have the money for this surgery...is there any organization that can help me. I am stuck without being able to do anything at this point. If you know of any organizations that could help me it would be of so much help.
Thanks...I am located in Pueblo County.
Kindly,
