2008 Was a Disastrous Year for Husband and Wife. Read their story

Find a way to help this person. Here is the story:

"2008 was a very disastrous year for me and my husband. In January 2008 he had a heart transplant (cost: $660,00.00) which our insurance paid a part of. Then in that same year October 2008 I was diagnosed with lung cancer. I had quit smoking in 2000. I had to have part of my lung removed and undergo chemo treatments. In 2012 I was diagnosed with a small malignant tumor in the same lung, so I had to undergo radiation therapy. We spend $4,000.00 year (after insurance) on medicines for my husband and myself as his meds are very expensive due to anti-rejection. I can verify all of the above info. My husband has been in the hospital 4 times in 2012 due to nervous breakdown because he can't handle the money situation. I would appreciate financial help to get out of unending debt that we have. Thank you.

Please find a way to help this gentleman. Here is the story:

"Hello everyone. I am 55 years old and have worked all my life until I developed an illness which after ten years and failure to diagnose has left me on Disability for the remainder of my life.

Ten years ago I was walking as I did each day after a long day in the restaurant where I worked. I began to have pain in my feet and really did not think much about it until it became worse day after day. I began seeing different Doctor's who performed nerve testing and multiple scans. I had cortisone injections to start which had little effect. Slowly the nerve pain climbed up both legs and into my right arm followed by the left arm. The pain was incredible and more and more testing was done by multiple doctors including teaching Doctors at UPMC and other places. I was placed on Duragesic Pain Patches, Percocet and Methadone as the pain became worse. A spinal stimulator was implanted as a last resort but was removed as it failed to curb the pain. I was forced to quit working and apply for Social Security Disability. During this time I had bills, including housing that everyone has. I continued to pay for everything by cashing in all my savings and all of my retirement funds. While waiting over a year for a decision hospital bills also began to pile up. Slowly I began losing the battle of the bills. One can only hold out for so long. Finally the Permanent Disability was awarded and I began receiving approximately $1200 per month. This amount was not much and so I had to decide what to pay and what not to pay. I also had to have several out-patient operations for which I had no insurance. Medicare does not activate for two years when disability is awarded even though the government agrees that you are and will be disabled for life. During the two years the bills just increased over and over. My home had to be sold as I could no longer make the mortgage payments. For temporary shelter I live with a sister in her home and at times I live in a home she rents when it is not rented but none of this is permanent.

After two years I was awarded Medicare which I do pay a premium for and also pay a 20% deductible on everything that it covers and it does not cover everything. My most recent one day operation was billed at over 84000.00 dollars to remove a Kidney Stone that was not related to my other illness. 20% of the remaining bill is payable by me. I make payments as I can but frankly I am broke.

Currently no cures are foreseen as the pain source is unknown and labeled as idiopathic in nature. Along with large doses of methadone I also must take percocet and also blood pressure medications. Of course my medications must come first in my expenses.

I am pleading for your help. A small piece of land will be given to me and I have found some Amish who are willing to build me a one person cabin type building on the land. The will do the work at their cost but it must be done while they are not busy which is winter and that is now. Completed the work and home will be approximately $40,000. No home can be purchased at such a low price. I'm asking that everyone who can make a donation please do so that I may again gain some independence and have a place that I can call home. If you can give a dollar or twenty dollars, anything is appreciated and will help me achieve my life again. I feel shameful having to ask anyone for money but I'm at the end of my rope. I must have a place to live as what I have now is temporary.

If you have a heart and if you believe that good things will come back to you in life when you do good things then please do this good thing for me. I am begging you for a couple of bucks and you can help me live the rest of my life.

A donate button appears below and allows you to make a contribution safely through Pay-Pal which will handle the transaction and hold the money. Please Help Me. You are my only hope now. Thank you all so much.

Mother Faces Car Repo, High Repair Costs and Is Unable to Fill Prescriptions: Please Help Her

Disabled, Please Help! I have been on Social Security Disability for two years and have been desperately trying to stay afloat, but I am going down for the count. I can't pay the rent this month, I have title loans due on both mine and my daughters cars with repo orders out on both. One car is in the shop with a 1493.00 repair bill that has to be paid before I can get it only to face having it reposessed.

I don't have prescription insurance so I can't afford my insulin which leads to lots of other problems. My disability payments disqualify me from Medicaid, but are not enough to pay for rent and meds, much less anything else. I am trying to start my own business so I can work from home despite my disabilities. It has been a really rough year.

I know lots of people have monetary problems right now and I would love to be on the giving end of this request someday soon. I need to raise $20,000 to get my head above water. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for your consideration.
