I remember this being posted some time ago. I'm so sorry your mom isn't well.

My advice would still be the same. Indigent programs are available. She should apply for assistance through the State's Medical Welfare program. http://www.dshs.state.tx.us/cihcp/default.shtm There's no need to cancel the surgery. Have her doctor give her a referral for this program. For any remaining amount hospitals have reduced fees and payment plans for those without insurance and/or unable to pay.

United Way First Call For Help http://www.unitedway.org lists local community resources for those in need. Check every link available and contact churches and community centers. You may find a church willing to do a fundraiser or "adopt" your family. Getting help in any area would allow you to save money to put towards medical expenses.

Go the fundraising route. Requesting donations on social media sites with a yahoo email address for payment isn't a good game plan. For example: In Yahoo!Answers soliciting for money is in violation of community guidelines. Instead of using an email address which is not secure and presents the way many scams do, try Go Fund Me http://www.bing.com/search?q=fundraising...-SearchBox

Her employer or another family member's employer will likely have an human resource benefit called the Employee Assistance Program (called EAP or EAR). A confidential toll-free number would be in the employee handbook or on the employment posters (next to the poster about minimum wage, etc.) usually in a breakroom, cafeteria, or in the payroll or human resource department. Call the number to get help in researching for resources and to see if the employer has emergency funding available.

Try contacting local news media like new papers or tv stations to see if they will do a short special interest story about the difficulty of the medically needy using your mom's situation to highlight the issue. Lots of people need medical help so unless your mom has researched and applied for all the options Texas has available to the medically needy and fallen through the cracks, her situation may not be newsworthy in comparison to other daily events.

By the way, it is not legal to put things inside a mailbox that haven't been mailed or are hand delivered.

Please press forward with the medical programs available in Texas for the needy. Get reasons for denials in writing and appeal every one of them.

Best to your mom, you and your family during these difficult times.
