...of Financial Survival During Hard Times

Talk It Out:
Help in Times of Crisis

 

"My nephew has been battling sarcoma for 4 years. The situation is a nightmare due to the fact that he lives in Los Angeles and his parents live in Virginia. They take turns traveling across country to care for him. He has no income now due to his illness, but he must stay in L.A. because of his HMO. Their financial situation is overwhelming. He is 38 years old. He has applied for help through Social Security. Is there any (emergency) financial help out there for him? " ~ Melody

"I have been using Angel Food Ministries to help with our food budget stretch. It is open to anyone regardless of income or circumstance. You get about $60.00 worth of food for $25.00. Go to www.angelfoodministries.com and click on host site and pick your state. The menu changes each month." ~ Maggie from NC

 


"Contact In-Home Supportive Services with Social Security.  This service provides in-home help.  They will send out a social worker to access him and give help on a need basis.  Make sure you ask about all services he is entitled to.  Also check into hospice, which is a wonderful service in itself.  My prayers are with anyone with a disabling disease and may God bless you." ~ Anonymous


 
"For people who are faced with a life-changing illness and/or want to deepen their walk with the Lord, I recommend (and live) the radical lifestyle explained in the book, "Why Christians Get Sick.' by George Malkmus. I am not affiliated in any way with the author nor have I taken his seminars. The information is dead easy and can be followed by anyone who (like me) faced a life-challenging disease." ~Rawnu

 


 
"You may be able to find help through www.liddyshriversarcomainitiative.org." ~ Stacie
