      Primary Pulmonary Hypertension - need help asap!

      posted on Oct 17, 2008

      in Febuary of 2006 I was diagnosed with Primary Pulmonary Hypertension , and told that I had approxamatly 2-4 years to live.. that is without a bi-latteral lung and Heart transplant.

      Since the first diagnosis i have had other doctors oppinions, each ending with the same outcome. I am only 40 years old, but have not been able to work much, I have a 14 year old daughter, whom i love very much. She has chosen to be by my side while i go thru the everyday grind. Her mother has not been a part of our lives for some time, due to drugs and poor choices she is now in prison. 

      The problem is this, We have no money whatsoever, I have applied for social security bennifits, but was turned down because of my work history,(not enough billable hours) so then applied for SSI which i havent been able to get yet because I had no birth certificate, well that is now coming but it takes 4 months to go thru after i submit my birth certificiate.

      We need a break, we have both struggled so hard this year , it is so frustrating. we were just evicted from our appartment in tempe Arizona, because i couldnt get assistance yet,because of the birth certificate taking so long to arive.. as it stands right now, Her best friends parents have been wonderfull enough to let her stay there for a few days untill i can figure something out.

      please if there is anything anyone can do financially or other let me know.

      thank you very much.
