Hi. I'm still figuring out how to use aidpage but today I saw that many, many people come on here to get help. I'm on here to provide inspiration and information for people in need and to learn from others how they have overcome.

My website My Savvy Sisters, is a resource website for women in crisis, but men can benefit from the information too.

We haven't covered every topic but most needs have been addressed, housing, food assistance, healthcare, home repair. Most of the resources I found from people here. Thanks!

As i continue this endeavor to provide assistance for those in need, please feel free to email me with your request and I'll try to do the research for you. Also, if you know of a resource that has helped you or you just went through a sticky situation and survived, I will be glad to feature you on our site to share your story of triumph.

Please message me and keep the faith!

This cycle of temporary Band-Aids on a broken system needs to come to an end.

Remind the politicians they can't continue to play games with Medicare. They can't repeat the mistakes of 2010. The vicious cycle of short-term delays that make the cuts worse and raise the cost of real reform for American taxpayers must come to an end.

Congress is playing a dangerous game of Russian roulette with seniors' health care. Sick patients can't wait any longer for them to do the right thing. Congress must stabilize the broken payment system before the damage is done and cannot be reversed

There it is !

healthcare.gov is a government site that explains how many people will become eligible for health insurance as of SEPTEMBER. The new healthcare law will affect many people in different ways, so please check the site to see how it will apply to you. Everyone without coverage will be affected in some way: Seniors, people with disabilities, Young adults (18-26), families with children, people with pre-exisiting conditions, and employers.

While some employers and insurance companies have already begun to make changes, the majority will comply by September. 

Please check the site to see how this new health care bill will affect you.

Thanks Elaine!

I'm a 24 year old guy and I've lived with my 25 year old boyfriend for 5 years.  He has multiple sclerosis and, subsequently, had to quit school, his parents took his car away and cut him off for coming out.  His medicine is 3,500/ month and has had to quit taking it when the insurance ran out.  I work 60 hours a week to take care of us and share my car with him to get us both to work.  I'm drowning in medical bills and credit card debt from years of supporting us without help and being downtrodden by our families because we're gay.  No bank will give us a loan because of the medical bills, and we're about to lose our car and our apartment.  Health care reform is taking too long, he's been on the waiting list for social security for 5 years, and we can't get other government assistance because we don't qualify.  I work as much as I can, and so does he, but it just isn't cutting it.  We have both been dealt a bad hand in life and are desperate...thinking about giving up.

family of 7 just lost my job in need of help financially about to lose vehicle. I would as far as the internet but we need help. if there is an angel out there spread your wings upon me and my family. god said ask and shall be given unto you.please help!

I need some assistance.  I was donated a small amount to help with my daughter's medication expenses.  The donation was through paypal, and I don't have a bank account to transfer the funds from my paypal account to, so I will have to wait 1-2 weeks to get a check sent to me.  I really needed to get those prescriptions for her last week.  So what I'm asking, is if someone will please send a Moneygram to my prepaid credit card for $12, and in return, I will transfer the $16.21 that is in my paypal account to your paypal.  You will not be losing anything in the transaction, and I will be getting the money I desperately need for my daughters medicines.  She has seizures and a terrible infection, and I really need to get these prescriptions!

WHAT HAPPENS TO THOSE WITH NO HEALTH CARE?

Do you know?

Let's say some Joe Blow walks into the emergency room because
he has no insurance, and they find out
he has cancer or some other serious illness that requires a lot of care
and treatments.

What happens? Does the hospital say "Sorry, but you have
no insurance or money so we don't want to give you these
expensive treatments that you need, so you are out of luck" Guy
says "But I will die without them!
" Hospital -"Sorry no can do without the money"

Or does the hospital give them a little "bandage type" treatment but
not the comprehensive treatment they need and then sends
them on their way.

Perhaps the hospital decides not to tell him he has cancer at all!

Or will the Joe Blow get the treatment and the hospital bills them
but knows they won't get paid.

Our health care system is definitely broken.

Although there is currently a big controversy going on right now
with the President and Congress, most would agree
that Americans need a Change in the Healthcare Industry.

In the meantime, it is Americans and our children that
are suffering.

medical care for

Can you believe the #1 reason that kids are absent from school
is due to inadequate dental care?

It's true! The #1 reason why kids miss school is because of
dental and related conditions.

It is said that more than 51 million hours per year are missed
because of dental and related conditions.

Inadequate dental care can lead to many other health issues,
including death in some cases.

The reason for this is mostly because dental and medical care
is just too expensive.  Many families can't afford it.
