Topic: WE HAVE A Member And Family In Dire Need Of HELP!

[bill440cars]

       Folks, We have a Family in the MOST Dire need for HELP! Not just a MEMBER, but the Man's WIFE and TWO KIDS  need HELP! When this all came about, Everyone offered their symphathy and all. Some of us (FOUR) even gave some donations. Then everyone seemed to go back to doing their thing. In the meantime, this family is STILL in need. Is there NOTHING else we can do? I realize that things are a bit tight for a number of us but IF we all could give SOMETHING, with the number of members we have, it could tide them over til maybe James could get something going to get things back in line for them. PLEASE see what you might could do. I'm not asking anyone to do ANYTHING that I would not do myself, I WILL be in there too! We can't just turn our backs on this member AND his family. We can talk the talk, but need to walk the walk!

                                              I'm IN, are YOU?

           Jeff, I know that things are tight on lots of folks, but and I'm not asking those who just can't give anything, without putting themselves in a bind. I understand that, I am just beside myself and trying to figure out what might be done. I just don't have the answers and it bothers me that there might be some who could help and they just go to sleep at night, when these folks are struggling so. Maybe they can find something out from what Bobby provided, I just don't know and THAT bothers me. I've been in some pretty tight spots myself and my Wife was in Depression from all that we went through with Karla and her seizures all through the years and it's only by the Grace of God, that we made it as long as we did. I say DID, because, as you know, Brenda's not here anymore. I KNOW the kind of stress that having a child with problems, can bring on ( as I know others have endured as well) and it really bothers me to feel so helpless as a situation like this happens. It is just so sad. There just HAS to be SOMETHING that can be done.

                                          Thank you Jeff, for your reply, Bill

           Bill, I know things are tough out there and all. I know they will appreciate anything. I'll PM you the info for paypal and thank you for whatever you might can spare.
                                           Take care, Bill

i might be able to help out physically, theyre not THAT far a drive from me here.  maybe even if they just need a baby sitter once in a while i'd be happy to help

            Last I heard, James still had HIS job and was checking into State assistance. Don't know much else as of yet. Soon as I know something, I'll pass it on, if James doesn't.

     Hoping and Praying things are at least in a hold pattern,  Bill

The idea of folding a $20 bill into an airplane and throwing it out the window isn't a very appealing idea right now.  Personally, I would need some information.  Just sayin.

Edit- is this Droopy still?

[bill440cars]

       I got a message from James today, while I was out of town. He says:


       "Were ok have 2 dr appt one on 18th & one on 25th the 25th is jordan's so have 2 drive 2 athens & agusta again"

       
         The driving is one thing that is killing them with the money needed for the gas to do the trip. Now, I'm supposing that the son and his wife must be pretty stable for the moment. My gosh, it's bad enough to have ONE family member with some medical problems. But when your 7yr old Daughter has problems, along with the Son AND the Wife! Then throw in financial problems!   How do you deal with that?

[droopy]

  yes this is still droopy,sorry but I have to go to libray to use internet since out internet TV and phone have been shut off, that is home phone we are just trying to keep power on and gas in the vehicles so that I can take the kids back and forth to the hospitals, I love the country but it really sucks when u have to drive 100 miles to a children's hospital to let my daughter see the neurologist. Son's appoint is an hour drive and that's just one way but the big drive is to Augusta and that is a 2 hour drive one way. The kids have Medicaid but for my wife and I the state went on gross and not net so neither one of us are covered under any insurance what so ever. Had to take wife to ER the other night thinking it was an appendix attack, but it was only a bacterial infection that antibiotics can take of, they persribed her a pain med as well as it was a sever infection as to where she was doubled over in pain. Wife still has panic attacks that willnever got away and just one of her med's she has to take is $54.00 and the others are about 30-40 dollars a pop. and that's all outta pocket we well as her visits to her therapist. Now on January 1st my wife and i will have insurance, but at the dune off about 450 a month outta my paychecks witch will work we will have a 550 deductable t o meet then it's 80/20. and at the rate things are going we will have that 550 deductible meet, because wife will be going and having surgery on her ankle that she broke as a child. and it's has really bothered her for at least 6 months now and she went to see a foot doctor and they said the ligaments are all stretched out and torn, so once we get the insurance the Doc will schedule the surgery to be done on her right foot. that shouldn't be to bad. my wife is trying to pull herself together for a job interview at walmart so we'll see how that goes, as she is really trying to pull herself together for the kids as a matter of fact while both kids were in the hospital she was there the whole time with out leaving them and I think that the stress has gotten to her and that why she is having so many attacks. well that is all for now will report back later.

        James, it is GOOD to hear from you and I know things are really tough for now. It DOES sem like, if you all can just manage to get through the next bit of time til Jan, things might just start picking up for you all. It's really something how a little bit of time can seem like forever though. I can fully identify with those trips. We had to take our Daughter Karla to Little Rock to see her neurologist and it's about as far (155miles/ 2 1/2 - 3hrs) Thing is, we did have insurance but STILL had incredible med bills. Couldn't qualify for medicare, we made too much money. There was another assistance program (can't think of the name now) that we COULD qualify for, but every single time that Brenda tried to file for it, there was ALWAYS something to explain or prove and finally, we talked it over and decided to just tough it out and take care of things on our own. And we encountered problems off and on for years. We made it though and I Pray that you all will too!

                                            Take care ALL, Bill
