My Mother can't afford her medication. She is not in the best of health and she just had emergency surgery that the doctor didn't think she would make it through. But she beat all odds. Now I need help getting her medicine so I can keep her alive. I need your help.
Thanks so very much.

I am a woman on disability and cannot pay for all of my medications every month and am on limited income. I have to choose which drugs to take every month and hope it is not harming my health. I know there are others in my same situation and one of them told me about her savings with your card and I am thankful she did.

This story is about me a person who is 29 years of age and already have recently had 2 stents placed in my right coronary artery. I am one of those who have a steady job, a family, and a love for music. Within the last couple of months I started to have some chest pain, went to the family doctor. He did an EKG on me and found that something had previously happened a couple of days prior and he wanted to get some blood work done. I did, later the next week the results came in the doctor said that alot of the numbers especially the triglycerides were very, very high and there was a couple of other ones that were high as well. The doctor asked if my wife and I could go to one of the local heart institutes and get a stress test done, we did what he asked. The stress test I figured would'nt be that hard to do, but I barely lasted 2 minutes as the chest tightened and was out of breath. Once the tech there gave the medication he did a CT scan of the heart. Later that week I found out that my RCA was'nt getting enough blood flow to carry out its normal function of getting blood to heart. Needless to say he quickly recommended that I have a heart cath to see how bad it was. We scheduled it the next week and come to find out it was so plugged that if I had waited longer than a week to two weeks I could have been dead. The wonderful and caring surgeons and cardiologist and staff at the hospital explained everything to my family and I very carefully. So now I have to recover from having these 2 stents in my heart, change my diet, exercise, and remember to take about 7 pills a day for the rest of my life. As we all know surgery does not come cheap and my family and I have been struggling to pay the amount just for the prescriptions. When we get the bill for the procedure then it will be even harder to pay for the medicine I will most likely have to take for along time if not for the rest of my life. I am very glad that I am alive, I am very glad that I have such a wonderful and caring family, and I do count my lucky stars for getting a second chance to live.
