Right now my funds were cut off from unemployment. I am trying to find a job after finishing medical transcription school without much luck. Although I love my parents very much and wouldn't hurt them for anything in the world, I can't afford personal grooming products (hair color, hair cut, etc), my meds or doctor's appts. My car is not running so can't go anywhere and am pretty much stuck in the house every day. Also, the neighbors are so damn nosey and with they would look in the mirror because we need no more drama here. No reason to get too excited.

I haven't researched to determine if this is impacted by the Affordable Care Act, but the Hill Burton Act was created as I understand it to, in part, provide services for the indigent since the HB hospitals would be getting assistance to build hospitals.
Check out local hospitals that have religious affiliations; in our area, one of the Catholic owned hospitals provides care to the indigent.
Just wondering and trying to fit all the pieces of this puzzle together.

Most large counties have a hospital that is well known as the County Hospital, that sees indigent patients as well as the well-insured and everyone in between. The county Health Department may be able to help you out with medical care. The website was cut off my post regarding the low cost Cymbalta, but there should be enough information there for you to know that they can help.
Sometimes, it just seems like the load is too heavy to bear and we find it easier to just give up. That is the time pull yourself up by your bootstraps and try again. Ask a neighbor or friend for help if you need someone to advocate for you due to the fact that you are deaf. Good luck.
Why don't you contact model plane associations, and volunteer to teach a class? Or post an ad in a model plane magazine or on similar website and offer your services. You have a talent; make the most of it.
Article 1. General Provisions.
§ 22-13-1. Plan for care of indigents; designation of cancer units.
It shall be the duty of the State Board of Health, with the assistance of the Committee on Cancer Control of the Medical Association of the State of Alabama, to formulate a plan for the care and treatment of indigent persons suffering from cancer and to establish and designate standard requirements for the organization, equipment and conduct of cancer units or departments in general or private hospitals or private clinics of this state. The designation of cancer units shall follow the survey of the needs and facilities for treatment of cancer found available in different localities in the state.
*Seems like you could take that info and find out where to get treatment and how to qualify.
Here's where you apply for free or low cost health care insurance, if that is something that you need:

I'm sorry that I've been unable to come up with anything useful for you up to now. I'm tapped out.
Sorry I missed where you were deaf when I was writing about being a veteran. Something you wrote about in a prior post made me think that you were. And even then, I didn't make the connection in my response to you. Sometimes it takes me a while to write these out and I forget things in the meanwhile.
God bless you and keep you. All the care givers my soul prays for you. Here's a hug although we need more. I wish you peace and strength
