@dianrib Good morning. You sound very down-in-the-dumps. This has been such a hard year for everyone . Did your hard times come on suddenly or has it been a slow and steady process?
Have you tried contacting social services in your town?

Dian After I survived Stage 3 breast cancer- double mastectomy, severe osteoporosis, and now Stage 3 chronic kidney disease I could join you easily.

I won’t though bc I know there is always one more option. You are looking for that by writing to us. We’ve all been there. Having no cash is the scariest. I lost insurance at the end of cancer treatment. I went for my final appointment and the desk said I needed to pay $65,000 for that one appointment. I left. My doctor called me and said to reschedule and there would be no charge. There is always an option Dian. And it is never to decide all is lost. Go to nearest church for food. They will set up up w food bank. Call utilities they will pay your bills from an account that customers give to for people like you.
Please reach out to any of your doctors to find free prescriptions. Depending on your illnesses, they can find longer term help for you.

Most of all, please keep talking and reaching out. We are here for you. My God bless you and look into your particular needs. 🙏

Dian, I encourage to look up "My Help Navigator" https://myhelpnavigator.auntbertha.com/ It is a social care network that connects people and programs — making it easy for people to find social services in their communities. You will find free and low cost help in your area.
