This is a repeated question but I will put my answer down anyway cause you may really need help.\n\nPlease visit your Member of Parliament for help. He/she will try to arrange for financial assistance. You can use Medisave, to pay for your operation fees which should be subsidized. Since cancer may need additional treatments like radiation and chemotherapy, maybe you like to stress these out to your MP or just ask the hospital for help. Your MP can also write to HDB to try to reduce your rents. There are always many schemes around, you just have to ask the right people.

Your friend has the right to medical health care. He should not be turned away. Many hospitals that were built with federal funding have a program called Hill Burton which will pay all costs for patients unable to afford healthcare.\n\nHill Burton Program - free or low cost hospitalization\nhttp://www.hrsa.gov/hillburton/default.htm\n\nThe American Cancer Society has local chapters that he can call and they will guide him to resources available:\n\nhttp://www.cancer.org/\n\nHe may also qualify for Medicaid, so he should get in touch with them to see what they can offer:\n\nMedicaid\nhttp://www.cms.hhs.gov/home/medicaid.asp\n\nDepending on circumstances he may qualify for social security disability benefits:\nhttp://www.ssa.gov/\n\nHe should also check Patient Advocate Foundation for financial aid options.\nPatient Advocate Foundation - helps with financial issues by state:\nhttp://www.patientadvocate.org/report.php\n\nAnd, he should try to contact a hospital social worker who can guide him in filling out applications\nfor local financial aid. Social workers will also be aware of local resources that can help him.\n\nGood luck.

Contact fannie mae (www.efanniemae.com)  they have recently added some programs for their MyCommunityMortgage thing that is meant to help people like yall.  I work at a mortgage company and we have been able to get people in homes when they had bad/nocredit no savings no down payment no assests. Youd be surprised what you can get if you go through the right lender. good luck!!!

First do not tell your prospective landlord about your condition to prevent discrimination.Check with your local YMCA they rent rooms.Also there should be apartment complexes for disabled people that charge you according to your income.Also you may qualify for free housing.Check with your local govt for those options.Bless you and Good Luck Also try your chamber of commerce for assistance

the hospital should offer you a form. This is to apply for them to write this off and you don't pay. I think they call it a hardship application. not sure of your location. It is available to people who need it so do your best to get it.\nI am so sorry for your loss. Please keep in touch I really want to know how you are doing ok.

You may want to go through a counselling session first, this way by reviewing your financial situation all of your options can be layed out in front of you and then you can make a good decision.  \n\nI have found that www.Incharge.org is able to do it for free, and they don't charge a fee, they are voluntary contributions.  You can either start the session online or call them directly @ 888-734-6229. \n\nBut make sure that you have all of your bills and income information and that you have at least 15-20 minutes.\n\nI think that would be the safest route to take.  it will cost you nothing to get some really good financial help! \n\nAnd Good Luck!

Sorry to hear about your current situation. :( \n\nThe first thing I would do is figure out what city/town/state services are available to you. There is a lot of assistance with housing/food/child care/employment/legal fees/ECT. Your state government must have public welfare/need offices around the area. I would just go in, explain your situation and apply for aid. This is what welfare is supposed to be for, someone who is in immediate need of financial help for a temporary time. They also assist you in going to college if you are interested in that. \nI think you are very courageous to leave him. You only live once, so might as well be happy. Not staying with a person addicted to gambling, drinking, and spending money. Good luck. Feel free to email if you have any questions. \n:)

Sorry for your situation.  Try a shelter temporarily and the shelter will probably have some additional resources for you for the long term.  I also like the idea of getting welfare until you can get yourself back on your feet.

Try looking at these web pages http://www.livestrong.org/site/c.jvKZLbMRIsG/b.1401911/k.26BD/LIVEstrongSTRONGstrong_SurvivoremCareem.htm \n\nhttp://www.cancercare.org/services.html\n\nAlso, go to your local unemployment office and department of social and health services and ask them for help. I've known some states that will pay for child care as well as health care and I know that some will pay for rehabilitation programs to help you find work.  Good luck and God bless you.

several places.  Check with the local Salvation Army as well as Health and Welfare.  Also I know the Catholic Church can help sometimes as well as The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.  If you have your own religion also check with your Minister to see if he/she can help you out.

A lot of places offer free "weatherization" repairs to the low income and others offer home improvement loans at low or no interest.  Check with your city's Housing Department.

Look up your State Housing Authority. They are the ones that can help you.

You should be entitled to some housing benefit or income support even if you are working. Contact local council and ask for benefits section.  You could try going to the housing department and say youve been kicked out of home (you will need proof) and that you are homeless.  Be prepared to make a fuss and don't give in, you could be lucky.\n\n Renting a room in a shared house is not always that bad - you still have your own space which can be locked and you can make some really good friends. Go and look round a few places and find out what the other sharers are like.  Living on your own can be lonely at times.\n\ngood luck

If you have no money, call some clinics from the Yellow Pages and try to negotiate with them on a partial payment.\n\nCall the Department of Human Services.  They may have a list of clinics that charge based on your income.\n\nGo to the emergency room.  They can't refuse you....Good luck!

Try the Salvation Army or the Marine reserves they are both in the phone book. Your local welfare agency might be able to put you in contact with them.
