HELP NEEDED

In the state of West Virginia you must be on medicaid to have visiting nurses. I am her caregiver. We are just having financial problems, and we are wiped out, and I cannot afford her diapers or her 18 pills she is on a day. I have gone to our two churches in our area, and they have built a wheel chair ramp for us, and i get food from the food bank once a month to help us.

Thank you so much for your info. I will get on line now and see what I can find. we dont have one here in our area god bless and thanks again

Try to find out about the Peregrine Society--if there is a chapter in your area. They provide assistance to families of cancer patients. I looked on the website for the one here in St. Louis. They offer up to 60 cans of nutritional supplements per month, $150 per month towards prescription medication and also adult diapers. It is based on need, but it sounds like you should qualify.

I promised mother no hospice. I am here to take care of her, and that is what she wants. Thank you for your advice

Hospice does not remove you as caregiver they simply help I was my fathers caregiver and helped with my mom hospice was called for both .They sent out a nurse to take thier vitals every couple days they went and got any medicine they needed they helped with other things a hospital bed things of that nature .Both my parents stayed at home all hospice did was lend and very much needed helping hand they did send people out to bath them but only if we wanted that that help as much or as little as you need so please think twice about them .

Thank you for your response. i have checked into hospice, and they will send someone for 30 minutes a day, once a week, to take mothers vital signs. I already have hospital bed through her oxygen place as she is on o2,24/7.

Thank you. I work for Walmart in Princeton, West Virginia. They have been so good to us. They paid two of m car payments, but it still ended up being repo. They Have helped with mothers medicine. two of our managers bought 700.00 worth of meds out of their own pocket to help me. I am financially wiped out.
