The Government has created a portal to help individuals who need benefits because of life events. Visit http://www.govbenefits.gov\n\nUse the drop down button\nDO YOU NEED BENEFITS BECAUSE OF A LIFE EVENT?\nChoose the life situation best applicable to you and then see if you qualify for the available government assistance.\n\nForget grant money - there's hardly any money for individuals. Nonetheless, you can go to the Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) http://www.cfda.gov and Grants.gov http://www.grants.gov - these are two sites created by the federal government to provide transparency and information on grants. Browse through the listings and see if you can find any grant that would support your personal reasons.\n\nEven if you buy books on "how to get grants" or list that supposedly has information on grants -- all of them are mere rehash of what CFDA has, albeit packaged differently. \n\nMost of the federal grants are given to specific target groups with specific requirements (e.g. minority business owners involved in transportation related contracts emanating from DOT - Grant#20.905 Disadvantaged Business Enterprises Short Term Lending Program \n\nGrants are also often given to non profit groups or organizations involved in training or other similar activities (grant 59.043 Women's Business Ownership Assistance that are given to those who will create women's business center that will train women entrepreneurs \n\nFor private grants, you may want to check the Foundation Center's Foundation Grants for Individuals Online. It's a subscription based website ($9.95 per month) but their opening blurb only says that the database is ideal for "students, artists, academic researchers, libraries and financial aid offices."

There are grants for everything!  You just gotta know where to look, how to apply, and meet the special qualifications. \n\nDon't waste your money on any of those Free Federal Grants books, programs, or any of that stuff.  \n\nThe same information is in the link below.\n\nAnd I'm only gonna charge you $5!  What a deal!

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).

I would check on line first to see if there were any thing there for free to at least help out some.  Sometimes there are clinics that will work with you on payments as well.

Sorry to hear of your problem.  I don't know exactly what help you mat need but assistance with meds can be found at this website:\nhttps://www.pparx.org/Intro.php\nAs far as assistance with seeing a doctor or other medical care, check with local health departmants, clinics and even hospitals.  Many hospitals and some private doctors have programs to help low income people to recieve treatment for little or no cost.  Many times a chaplans office inthe hospital is a great place to start.  If you are of low income I would also check with Social Security, State and local health  departments and social service organizations like St. Vincent DePaul or the Salvation Army. I wish you luck and hope this might help.

Yes, contact Smith GlaxoKline and apply to them for assistance.  Most drug companies will give medications free or reduced price to those in need who cannot afford it.  Also you could apply through department of human resources for medical assistance.  If you qualify you will get free or reduced price for prescription medications and medical care.

If you are in the US talk to your doc or call Joslin Clinic in Boston, MA. They can connect you with Joslin's Angel Network. I read about it in a Diabetes Digest. It said they help uninsured people with getting supplies. Good luck!

A lot of cities have clinics that provide free or sliding scale services.  One in our area is Visiting Nurse Assoc.  Call hospitals to see if they have any places they could refer you to.

There are usually clinics in every county that offer services for people in your same financial siutation.  These clinics also offer Prescription Assistance Programs as well.  If not, then contact the maker of the medication that your teen has been prescribed and you can go directly through them usually for free medication with a prescription for lower income families.  There are ways, trust me!  Good Luck!  If you need any further information or need any help finding this informaiton just contact me, no problem.

Try contacting your local medicaid office.  You could also ask if there are any financial assistance programs at the facility where you are receiving your care.  Sometimes hospitals, have state representatives that can screen you for medicaid and other programs.
