I'm a 59 year old man who has been unemployed for the last 3 months due to the recurring symptoms of active chronic Hepatitis C, i.e. frequent bouts of vomiting, nausea, weakness in my limbs, and some jaundice, some mornings I'm too weak to even get out of bed. Not helping is the fact I'm also a type II diabetic with COPD. I cannot afford the treatment for Hepatitis C which runs around $27,000 a month since I have no health insurance, and few plans even cover it. I don't qualify for Medicaid in Missouri, even with my problems, local charities seem unable or unwilling to help. My bank account is empty (actually my bank balance currently is -$1.27) and rent is coming due, not to mention my phone and internet service, though I can get by with no internet or phone. $2500 dollars would go a long way to covering these costs and keeping me going till I can find work and, maybe, some insurance. Any help would be greatly appreciated as soon as possible, since rent coming due. I live a frugal lifestyle and all monies would be used to simply survive day to day. I just want to work, it's all I've ever known...unfortunately, I wasn't able to raise enough to keep my apartment, so I'm now homeless and living out of my car, any help at this point would help...
