About mistym

mistym started this conversation

I am a single mom and I just lost my job and was diagnosed with lung disease. I do not qualify yet for unemployment and disability. I was in the hospital for 2 weeks with pneumonia 2 days after I lost my job. I now have tons of bills I cannot pay, plus my mortgage and utilities. I am at a complete loss as to where to turn for help. I cannot afford to pay for COBRA so I can continue medical care. I have never felt so low or been in such a futile situation....

have you tried social services? They may be able to help with the necessities until disability/unemployment kick in...

As for the medical expenses - talk to the hospital's business office - explain to them that you are indigent with no income...some hospitals may write off the bills, offer a workable payment plan, wait until you are eligible for medicaid, or even help you apply for medicaid. 

As for the other utilities, talk to the companies - let them know your situation and ask if they can work out a payment plan for you or if there is a fund specifically for low income/ impoverished clients - most have one set up and you need to apply for assistance through and outside/independent nonprofit organization like the Red cross...

check with 211 for additional assistance in your area..

Hello and welcome to Aidpage. I am sorry you had pneumonia as I had it once too the walking pneumonia kind and it wasn't fun. Here are some free medical clinics and hopefully you can find help at one of them...

As for work see these links

Both have work from home jobs. 

And so does homejobstop.com but it has a low fee and I am been a member with it for two years and I don't receive compensation by telling you this.

Good luck
