in response to ...You have a child to care for so go to the nearest welfare office and apply for Hoosier Health Wise to cover dental and doctor or hospital visits. Have her birth certificate,social security card, and proof of income or a statement from the Social Security office stating little or no income,and proof of address with a bill of some sort.Search the web for sites for veterans to help with financial aid from the government if you can.There may be grants to help you out with your bills and health.
in response to ...Hi, I live in San Diego, CA and I am so pleased to see so many people reaching out for dental help. I agree with all of you. We pride ourselves in being the richest country in the world, yet we cannot help our own people. It's a shame. It's a pitiful shame. And, then society wonders why people are sick a lot of the sickness has to do with poor, poor dental care. I hope someone reaches out to us and gives us the help that we need. It's the same in California - NO REAL HELP for those who CANNOT AFFORD DENTAL SERVICES!
Hello. I am a 22 year old young lady who is in a financial crisis. I have been behind on bills since I was 18 years old. My father was murdered and ever since then I have been on my own. I moved to VA with my step mom and lived with her but then I got pregnant and she said that I needed to find my own place. I work as a server but because I am a full time student I can not work as much as I need to. I work at most 3 times a week. M$y boyfriend tries the best he could but he too is a server. We have paid rent 2 weeks late for the past 7 months. Our cable has been turned off due to non payments and now we owe them at least $700, our electric bill is two months late, my car insurance was cancelled for non payment and I still owe them about $200, my cell phone bill will not be able to be paid which is also about $200, I have bills in North Carolina (where i use to live) that I still owe that have already gone to collection agencies, and to top it all off, the lease at the apartment I am currently renting is up on February 7 and we still have not found a place to go. To get the new place we need to pay an application fee which can range from $25-$40 per applicant, a down deposit, and a security deposit. I have been overwhelmingly stressed out and am very afraid. I am trying to hold it together for my sons sake but I can not act like this is going to go away or get better any time soon. The reality check is I need some serious financial help. PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hi Derek. Sorry to bother you, I see this was posted about a year and a half ago. I was wondering if you would tell me if posting this, actually did help your mom. I'm finding myself in a similar situation, about to be evicted, with nowhere to turn. Not a dime in my pocket. I don't have any family to ask for help. No "wonderful" son, like yourself, willing to take the steps you took to help your mom. Can you tell me how to go about making a posting such as yours, asking for help from the public. I don't know my way around a computer to well. I'm 56, and about to be put out in the street. I'm scared. I hope this finds its way to you, and that you have the compassion to respond. I also hope that you were able to find the help for your mother back when you needed it. Yours sincerely, CC.
in response to barbie girl...No i have a great life, when you have a car payment of 600+ and your asking for help with school get a job why should someone who works for there money pay for you to go to school. I am willing to help families in need that have lost their job and has kids to raise not help those who are asking for a 1000 dollars for school debt. I don't understand if you wanted to go to school then pay for it your self. Why should we help those who dont really need it. Sorry but it is my opinion and I can say what I want to. Thanks Barbie Girl
in response to Roseb441702...Here In Missouri only children under 18,or people who can't hear or the blind are the only ones who can receive help for Dental care.My Mom and myself has looked everywhere for Dental care help and the cheapest we have found is: $75.00 for an X-Ray and 1 tooth pulled.Need another tooth pulled then it cost $50.00 more for each tooth.Now when a person don't have that kind of money then they have to suffer in mouth pain.My Mom is on Social Security to and they won't help her.
in response to lightbluesky...I like your style!:) I started a petition on my site many months ago to rally voters to into making a difference for dental care. I am always amazed to see the government spending our hard earned tax dollars on foreign countries that quickly take our food and then stab us in the back. We are talking billions of dollars. I hear from people everyday trying to make ends meet and struggling to pay for basic dental care. I will continue to petition and one day submit all the registered voters to congress. Take care and God Bless!

They want to do a procedure to see i I have endometriosis, however I cannot afford the procedure and they are also cutting me a deal with it. I am tired of being in pain and not being able to enjoy life to the fullest. Can someone help? Either way, God Bless. My email is loveforjesus1990@hotmail.com

Hi, Single mother of 3 , seeking financial assistance to stop an eviction, I am exhausted from the government, city, private agency, all a dead end. What the hell, this cannot be any different, Maybe by the grace of God, I will prevail and find the assistance I need.
Hello my family recently moved to the Dallas, Texas area from Chicago, Illinois after losing my mother and home this past summer. It's been a difficult adjustment because of financial strain. We are living with loving relatives however I have a 13 year old boy who sleeps in the living room on a blow up bed and my 9 year old girl who sleeps with me. Space is extremely limited. I am thankful and fortunate to have some place to lay our heads. And I thank God for that daily. I'm currently working on my nurse's degree just to inform whoever is reading this and is thinking about helping my family. Will have it complete in 1 year. I am asking for assistance to provide my two kids with an exceptional Christmas. It's been hard on them losing our home and then their grandmother all in a narrow time span. Please help me give them something to look forward to "A GREAT CHRISTMAS" Thanks

Hello Feb 23 2011 forever changed our lives. My husband was in an accident which left him with traumatic brain damage and partial paralization. He was released to my care which is 24 hrs a day . This means i cant work. neither one of us has worked since Feb 23 2011. We are trully in need of financial help he is in his 50's and i am approaching 50. 8 months ago we were productive citizens and today we could be minutes from being homeless. Please help us pay our rent or what ever you can help us with will be greatly appreciated.
in response to Roseb441702...hello, i am in need of a grant for denatal. implants. my name is ellis.im 50, and need some help, .p.s. do you think you can help me.to apply for a grant. thank you.770-374-1146
"I know you are trying to do something to help with our dental crisis. I came across the following link [this one] and, with it, found a wealth of personal stories... (I don't even need to tell you my own story - I see now that it's all the same story! A sad & shameful story.) I'll just tell you this; that each time, as a single parent, I was presented with my dentist's professional treatment recommendations and "options", the only one I could afford was extraction! Anyway, please look at this link...each one is telling my story. Thank you again"
in response to Eliyahna333...I not only agree with you but have actually had the same reasoning. Every where that claims to help you is either so complicated or they want money for some fee or another, and it's like "if i had money i wouldn't be asking you for money".I have a extreme case of (TMJ). It's where my jaw keeps popping out of socket and it's getting worse everyday.The other day my jaw was stuck open for 2 hours and i had to go to the emergency room, which i hate because all they do is see u for 2 minutes then bill you 800 dollars. I love this country of ours. I hope you can get what your looking for, good luck.
in response to Eliyahna333...What I don't understand is the kind of dental service you are getting? My mother who was on SS got ALL of her dental work paid by her SS benefits.
in response to twiztid...Have you tried your local social services / welfare office. They would best know of any grant-related programs and / or financial assistance programs that would be able to help you.
There are dental-related programs for those who are in the armed forces and I see from my own blog that there have been dental-related programs that pay for dental work being provided to people who have been the victims of emergencies like floods.
So there are these kind of programs out there - you just have to do the work to find them.
in response to mamabear...Have you reported this to the local DSS for Child Protective Investigations? This route won't give you custody but will give him the chance to better himself. When he abused you did you take out criminal charges AND a Domestic Violence Restraining Order? If so did you states your kids under this order and the temporarily custody of them? There are ways to go about it and I'm sure this judge that is a friend of his is not trialing every case, and you always have the right to appeal. Police really can't get involved unless its domestic violence. But still does not give you custody, you need to atleast get the domestic violence restraining order (DVRO), list your kids on it and prohibit him from seeing the kids and get the temporarily custody for a year. Take him out for child support, save up some money and hire yourself a lawyer prior to the expiration date on the DVRO. And DOCUMENT EVERYTHING! Dates and time and place, if u have evidence collect it, if u have witnesses get statements and see if they can show up to testify in court. This is just the beginning n it will get nasty real quick, just keep ur head up and stay focused on the main thing.
in response to twiztid...I'm with you. I am either going to leave the planet, or rob a bank. I have heard that prison does take care of our dental problems, so if I get caught, I go to prison and they will fix my teeth. If I get away with the money, then the dentist will fix my teeth, and I'll annomiously pay the bank back a bit at a time. They want $6,500. to fix my teeth. I'm on S.S. and the government wants to cut that off too. Why would I want to be here? I've lived 70 years, my kids are all on their own, and everyone loves my cat, so he would find a new home, and nothing I have would bring in $6,500. I can't eat much with no bottom teeth except for the three remaining cowns I have left. I can't even gum my food because they are in the way. I spent $8,500 in 1991 to have these crowns. In 2005, I had new dentures (upper and lower partial) redone for $2,000 more. Now, I am on S.S., with no credit available, and no savings. Everything I have tried is a dead end.
hi you seem to be very in the know how of how things are supposed to work, here is something for you. about a month ago I applied for public houseing and was put on a list ok, so I went back to see where my place on the list was and was told # 35, two days ago I went back again and asked the same question and was told I was 37 on the list? when I asked no-one could offer and explination as to how I moved down on a list when I was told I was supposed to go up on the list? go figure. the only thing the intake coordinator would say was that she would put a note in my file? whatever that means. t
in response to Roseb441702...i live in connecticut. im not sure where to look for the information but i need help. badly. my dental health is decreasing rapidly. im clueless as to where i can find any sort of help and i dont know where to go from here. im ready to give up....
in response to binkie...I am going through a divorce...and I have custody of my child. I have been in the Military got married and bought my dream car..and one day things just went bad and I lost my car, I filed for divorce and custody!! I've done wharehouse jobs, but the job I do now is a sub contracting job and called upon only if needed. I ran out of my unemployment in April, I've really been struggling!! Fortunatley I do have a job and work when I am called out....I am glad I have parents that help me out but I rather do this on my own and cannot! I did get assitance for my soon to 1yr old daughter..but need to make rent for next month and did not make enough to do that>>Where does a "father" get help..Indiana is (what I heard)"a womans state", which I feel is discriminating men as myself that try to do good for themselves and their child!! Please let me know..thank you!!
Many people are unaware of the services in their own home town. The ones that do know about it think it's only for helping handicapped citizens. Wrong. This program is in a position to help with free surgery, dental work and much, much more.
If you are employed, but a health problem may prevent you from continuing to work, your local office can help. Especially convenient for those who need a major operation, but have no insurance, This organization will pay for the doctors' visits, medication, actual surgery, recuperative equipment and physical therapy, as well as major dental work, too.
Please look in your area to see if you are eligible to apply for this program!
So you see there are programs that exist that you may be eligible for BUT you are going to have to do the work and find the information so that you will be able to see if you are eligible to apply. Either find the information yourself or find someone who will help you find the information on your terms. It is just as simple as that.
I am a mother of 3. I have a 7yr old, a soon to be 4yr old & a 6mth old. I stay home & take care of my kids, I do not work, my husband goes to school. My kids need new clothes they're out growing what they have now, I want to save up for a car because we need transportation. My husband is looking for work but hasn't gotten anything yet. We need money for food, clothes & saving for a car. Please if anyone can help you will be a godsend. Any little bit helps & we will forever be greatful.

Looking for financial assistance to help my grandson with his dental expenses. He needs some orthodonic work done very badly. For health and cosmetic reasons
in response to Roseb441702...I would like to respond to this response.
I am uninsured and in need of perio work. Lost 60% bone in my lower jaw. I am only 41. My dentist will work with me on making payments, but the perio work, well, they want payment in full at time of service. I have an estimate of about $10k.
Unemployed single mom. who makes too much on unemployment to qualify for state assistance. AND, they did not know of any programs to help me and would not even try to help me.
Called local Dentistry school. They want payment in full at time of service also. AND their evaluation checkup costs more then what my dentists charges, almost twice as much.
Carecredit has an APR of around 29%.
so, what is a person to do who is at risk of losing their teeth. The drs know the situation is not good. Health and financial. Where does someone like me (and all others in the same situation) go to get help??

Ohio Works First (OWF) is the financial assistance portion of Ohio's Temporary Assistance to Needy Families (TANF) program. OWF was established to provide time-limited assistance to eligible families. OWF provides cash benefits to eligible, needy families for up to 36 months. After 36 months, a family cannot receive additional cash assistance unless the County Department of Job and Family Services (CDJFS) approves an extension of benefits. There are two kinds of extensions, hardship; and good cause. A family can receive a hardship extension any time after the 36-month time limit has ended. A family can only receive a good cause extension after a 24-month waiting period following the 36-month limit. Each CDJFS sets its own policies for hardship and good cause extensions. The emphasis of OWF is self-sufficiency, personal responsibility and employment.
General Program Requirements
In order to qualify for this benefit program, you must be a resident of Ohio, either pregnant or responsible for a child under 19 years of age, a US national, citizen, legal alien, or permanent resident, have low or very low income, and be either under-employed (working for very low wages), unemployed or about to become unemployed.
