I donated a kidney to my son in 96.. due to a misdiagnosis... that kidney was destoyed and he has been back on dialysis since 99... medicaid took care of all of the transplant expense... but after 6 days... my "coverage" was over... I have no health insurance and have not been tested to see if my remaining kidney is doing OK... my husband became disabled 4 years ago.. so our funds are extremely limited... I've been turned down for any assistance from anybody... I'm doomed I suppose... my question is... is there any help for people who have stepped up and did what they thought was right.. only to be kicked to the curb to fend for themselves?

I ended up without health insurance and with medical needs; this situation is very unfortunate. I didn't qualify for Medicaid at the time, so I found a free clinic by referral about 20-30 minutes from my home. I was able to get medications and check-ups and I had a minor surgery on my breast-I didn't have to pay anything at all.

I live in a large Metropolitan area full of resources. I don't know what is available in your area, but you can ask social workers of any kind, they have a lot of information. :)

Best wishes...
