A FRIEND OF MINE JUST GOT DIAGNOSED WITH MS. FROM THE LOOKS OF HIS MRI'S ETC, HE'S HAD IT FOR A LONG TIME. ITS JUST A LOT WORSE AND MADE HIM TO GO TO THE DR TO FIND OUT WHAT IS GOING ON.

LONG STORY SHORT...HE HASN'T BEEN ABLE TO WORK SINCE JULY. HIS ROOMMATE JUST TOLD HIM TONIGHT THAT HE IS MOVING TOMORROW. RENT WAS DUE FRIDAY, AND THE ROOMMATE HASN'T PAID BILLS EITHER.

HE'S NOT ABLE TO WORK RIGHT NOW. TRYING TO GET ON MEDICINE TO SEE IF THAT WILL HELP HIM SO HE CAN WORK PART TIME. HE'S TRYING TO GET ON DISABILITY.

DOES ANYONE KNOW WHERE HE CAN GO TO GET HELP?????

HE'S GETTING ASSISTANCE, BUT ITS ONLY 120 A MONTH, AND HE'S ON FOODSTAMPS. HAS NO FAMILY HERE. AND HIS BROTHER REALLY DOESN'T WANT TO HELP HIM OUT.

He could try the MS society......I dont know if there is one there in the usa.....Im sure there is???

do you know if there is a website?


ty didn't think of that.

never mind..found the website

sense he has ms he should be automactly able to get a medical card to cover for his meds.

he needs to check this out and it might also rush his disabilty for social security

The Red Cross may be able to help with a few bills too.

He could try the obvious ones like the Red Cross, Salvation Army, different churches, etc., they may help a little bit but I am sure they are being asked for help by a lot of people right now. Don't know if you have a community action program, our town even has cabins that they allow people to live in rent free for 90 days while they find a place to live, etc. I would call all the programs you can find. Even contact radio stations, some of them are doing promotions to help out people in need for Christmas. Just an idea. Hope he finds some help. Take care.

if you have a saint vincent depaul store. here they have a sign where they would help with bills and rent if needed. and i think they go by your income and his is not much... so check into that

Ok. I gave him the info for Red Cross, United Way, MS Society, the Salvation Army is doing a SharetheSeason thing right now,gave him the info on that

Told him about the shelters, churches, the YMCA shelter part.....


"sense he has ms he should be automactly able to get a medical card to cover for his meds.

he is on one program that is Medi-Kan, until he can get on medicaid. they have a 3 mo waiting period before they approve just incase he gets better...

on ms you never know when you can have a relaps on that
i had a friend when i was younger her step dad had ms and he was fine for along time and then it came back and it got worse so it varies on each time
