Daughter needs surgery (I need meds!)

LeftAlone started this conversation

Well, I found out Friday that my daughter who lives with me needs surgery. Today her father turned her down flat on help with the co-pays and informed her that he will no longer carry her on his health insurance. So that means she will not be able to even get the surgery. I knew he was taking me off but I thought he would keep her till she finished college. So now I do not know what we are going to do. I am already having to suffer withdrawals from having to quit "cold turkey" on my own prescription medications because we do not have money to buy refills. Now she has to suffer because of him and his selfishness and this is not right. How do I get money for her fast? It drives me crazy - I cannot go to the doctor myself for my medications or even for my foot that I broke two weeks ago. I am willing to suffer because I know I have to now, but I will NOT let my daughter suffer - PLEASE someone help!

It's good to hear from you. I don't know of any judge who could help you, but I have found a website that has a list of attorney's who take cases free of charge. See if you can find one in your area. They may be able to help take your husband back to court as well as possibly help stop your foreclosure considering the circumstances. Please keep us posted on the outcome of what you find out.

 in response to Inspiration...   Thank you so much for the help. I will look into these sites now.

I just got a letter today - now my house has gone into foreclosure :( He has a court order to make these payments but decided it was not important I guess. I have NO place to go, I have pets which limits my possibilities too. Does anyone know if the judge can make him catch the payments up? There are several things he is not paying or doing that were listed on our temp orders - such as medical! We go to court next month again, I'd kind of like to know just what I can expect.

I know, it seems that when I find help for one thing he creates another problem. I just wish I could somehow find a job!!!! I never thought I would be in this place in my life, if I knew I would have done so many things different - like go to college!!!

Again THANK you for your help, I appreciate people like you who are willing to share knowledge with those who need help. You are a blessing!

I cannot imagine what you are going through right now. I have attached a few website links that may be helpful to you. The first one provides information on free medical care. The next one is a website that may be able to help you afford your medication. Please do not give up. Check these resources out first, and please let us know whether or not they work out for you so that we may offer other suggestions to help you. You are not alone even though you've been left alone to deal with this.
