Even volunteering your skills through local business groups and organizations might get you in touch with something or someone that will help you work things out.
I'm so sorry to hear of your struggle. I've heard of so many people in the same situation. Does your area have a 211 phone number, or something of the sort for area resources? Perhaps you could find some via the internet by typing in where you live, and exactly what you are looking for? If you haven't already, check with your local DHS for more community resources. Places like the Salvation Army, Goodwill, etc. can be a wealth of resources. Those are different things I have tried. I hope something pans out for you soon. Good luck to you, Regena. Take care.
Look for volunteers in medicine most cities have one and you pay what you can afford. They have good Dr who donate their time to help people get good care.
Thanks for the suggestions...
