Definitely speak with your Doctor's office because there are many agencies available to seniors for medical equipment.  You could also contact Department of the Aging.

The American Hospital Association can probably help you. See http://www.aha.org/aha/index.jsp

I would not recommend testing or treating yourself, that could be dangerous.  Try your State Social Services office for assistance.  If this matter is urgent go to the ER and when you are feeling better ask for financial assistance forms through the hospitals patient accounts.  My income is so low that I had to do this and the hospital can get you financial assistance through charity organizations which will cover most of the cost if not the total bill.  Good luck!

I know that the Salvation Army helps with some utilities, you might want to give your local office a call.

Hmmmm...  this could be a little tricky with out insurance....BUT...  there could be ways on working around that..   there are free hospitals (if living in the states) suggestion is to try one of them.....  the wait maybe insanely long but you would not need the insurance.....  just bring a very good and long book to read..  also you can try to contact any hospitals administrator and let them know you need medical attention but can not afford it..   ask if they can help..  some times they have programs to help people without insurance..  really ask about this one..   they even might be able to work out some kind of payment plan or they just might pick up the tab altogether..  in any situation for just about anything sometimes the easiest thing to do is to ask for help...   someone somewhere will always help..  if you can not find help in your area...  look elsewhere..  but keep trying..  take care..

CHeck with your local electric company, sometimes you can get money back when you lose food, etc.. in storms, particularly when it takes several days to get your electricity back on .

A county hospital is your best bet. We med students and internists and residents are always available to help. There is this thing called ATP where you pay 80 dollars and everything else is paid for (i.e. lab work, diagnostic imaging, etc).

Many churches (especially Catholic churches) offer energy assistance programs for people just like you. Contact a church in your area and even if they can't help you, most likely they can direct you to one that can. Also,  your power and or gas company probably has a hardship program in place. Just contact them and ask for energy assistance. You will have to tell them your situation, but it will remain confidential. I feel for you, I was a single mom for several years. It will get better. Keep your head up and stay strong, Mom. I promise it will lighten up. Good luck and many blessings to you.

Advocacy, Inc., with an office in Houston, provides Elder Law services: http://www.advocacyinc.org/index.htm\n\nAlso, you could contact the Texas Attorney General, the Texas Legal Services Center, or Texas Law Help.  I've included links to all of them below.  I hope these resources help you.

I am not from Houston but could you look in the phone book and see if there is a Habitat for Humanity listed? Perhaps they can help you. Also, if you attend a church, perhaps your minister could ask for volunteers to come over to help do some home repairs and painting etc. There are many retired folks still in good health that may just have the time and desire to  be of service. Also look under Senior Services in the phone book as well under the city or country that you are living and call them. They can give you some leads. I know what a fixed income is, believe me!!! Good luck and I hope you can get some help. Oh, one more thought....call the High School closest to you and ask if there are any groups at school such as The Student Counsil or kids that are taking woodshop classes that could help you. It never hurts to ask. All they can say is, "No" so let's hope there is help out there for you.

Contact your local Social Services department and set up an appointment.  Bring all medical bills you have for the last 6 months, as that is as far back as they pay.\n\nYou could also check with the Salvation Army or Catholic Charities.
