hi,

Our school in C't. wants desperately to find a partner school or donation site

to work with. We have begun collecting items and i told them about you and

thought that maybe you would have a direct location where you thought items

might be sent, or if there are any alternative school settings that could

benefit from art supplies, books, etc. for children. Please let me know and we

can be liasons to let this happen--we are willing to drive and meet or come all

the way with these items.

Sincerely,

Connor's mom, Kim

I know exactly how you feel. It seems that everytime we think we might be

finally getting caught up bam here comes another bill. Does your state have a

federally funding program that helps with care such as physical therepy, speech,

and occupational therapy? If so is Autumn in that program. You may be able to

get assistance for your medical bills through the OCDD ( office of citizens with

disability) office. Our program here in Louisiana is Early Steps and we get

medical reimbursement for medical bills through the OCDD office that is with the

program. They only pay for the bills that are during the fiscal year they are

in, but it does help.

I hope I've helped some. Just remember most of us have and are still going

through the same thing. It's hard, but eventually it has to get better.

Hi all, I was wondering is there any trick to paying all these

medical bills and stuff? We are flat broke minus some and yet have

to keep seeing more and more docs and visits and meds etc for my kids

and after getting all of those, I can't pay electric or water or

anything! WE have applied for assistance through the hosptials and

have some, but all these copays add up to a small fortune each

time...like today $12 gas $15 copay $30 meds and now we have to pay

for a home nebulizer becasue Autumn is still wheezing and needs it.

Then another appt friday, then 4 next week and no matter how I try to

schedule them together I jsut can't make it all work. My son Skye is

supposed to be getting help for his probs (Aspergers, anxiety, OCD)

but I can't pay for it, just the basic appts...we have good

insurance but the copays add up....is there something out there that

I could apply for? I am desperate, I swear I've applied for

everything so far. Then we found out one of autumns ear tubes came

out and she just got them in may...ahhh, how do you all do it? I

stay home with the kids and my husband has 2 jobs and always works to

try to make ends meet but they never do. Any suggestions?
