I am a 74 year old male father of three. I have been diagnosed with stage 4 cancer. I can not afford the medication that my insurance does not pay.
i was born with German measles and could not walk without the metal bars on my legs. At 4 i finally could walk on my own but my immune system was damaged
i worked in the timber industry and raised a family of 4. Then my neice was molested by her step father, so we adopted her and raised her
. Then in 1990 the mill was closed down. I was able to get funding to go to college I graduated in the top ten and received an associate degree in automotive technology. Toyota offered me to go to university of Toyota in Tottance Ca. To become a toyota technician. Then after I graduated from Toyota i was offered a job with a great dealership. I was 43 and starting over. I worked for Toyota for16 years. Then a car lift broke and a toyota van came down on top of me. It broke my back, leg and arm.
i had to take early retirement after that. I had to pay back the settlement from the accident to Social Security in order to receive Social Security.
now we live on $2253 a month and barely make our rent and bills.
so that is my story and why for the first time in my life i am asking for help.
