Don't give up. Also, contact NMSS and explain the problem. Maybe they can come up with something.
It makes me sick every time I hear the cost of the DMD's. It's unbelievable!

I've tried Shared Solutions (they have a program that can pay for up to $50 a month for C. - barely a drop in the bucket), NORD, my state insurance folks, everyone I can think of. There are lots of folks that have less than I do who qualify for these types of aid, but I make just enough to be too rich to qualify.
However, since I whined about this on another board, a guardian angel came my way in the person of someone having to go off C. who is sending me what they have left. This is the second time I have gotten help like this. I know we're not supposed to do this (per gov't. regulations and all
) but heck, if it will keep me ambulatory, I don't care.
This is for you, angel ->
