Help me please! I am an abandoned 100% disabled spouse ,living alone in Martinsville,VA. I have gone to an optomtrist with my Medicare, but the glasses prescribed cost 150.00 that I do not have. I do not have a car and the transportation I get usually costs me at least 20.00 to even get groceries. I need all kinds of help but most of all glasses. I do not trust myself walking to hitch hike to stores anymore because I've stepped in holes, twisted my ankles, it's terrible for me. I hope with the grace of God that somene can help me without me almost killing myself trying to do this alone. REPLY TO

ok have u tried to call around looking for numbers in your local yellow pages that sell glasses if u are disabled dont u get medicare then the glasses would be free and the palace u went does not take your medical for them then i would ask them if they have some names and numbers of places that do if they dont try your local yellow pages under glasses and for you to get there call something like dile a ride they usually charge like 5.00 there and back or less if u have medi care and cant afford it it may not be called the same thing in your area but im sure there is something u just need to go though the phone book and look for it and also contact your local office where u get disability if u are disabled u should be able to get it and if u already do they would have the info u need with the numbers and such u need hope this helps and good luck

Unfortunately I live in Martinsville, VA where there is so little assistance for the elderly and disabled or the poor that dial a ride is non existent. Que sera sera! Fortunately I have had a church member pick up the gauntlet to help me through this hurricane and I will prevail with God's merciful help. Thank you so much for taking your valuable time to respond to me. God bless you and yours forever.
