“The wife of an out of work coal miner contacted me after being laid off from the mines. She immediately told me she had no idea what to do because she had never been in this situation. Her husband had been at the mines for over a decade and money had never really been an issue for them much less health insurance. I took her application and her whole family was approved for Medicaid. She thanked me and let me know how this had put her mind at ease. Three months later she called to let me know her husband had found a great job at a local aluminum factory.”

“My client came to me discouraged as she was short of the time of Medicare, and was in the process of getting a divorce. I talked with her on her options as she was in the FPL for Medicaid, however many of her circumstances were changing due to the divorce and she needed her medications that were past due. I explained to her about the short term PE we currently had, and that I could work with her to direct her in the right direction as steps progressed. She was so very thankful and happy to be able to get her most needed inhaler, and knowing I was there when she needed attention. She has since called me several times and I am so thankful I can be a part of her going through an already difficult time in her life.”
