trust me, as a guy, it sucks not being able to do something when a loved one is in trouble.

you said i have other options, what are they?

I understand what you're saying. No man wants to throw in the towel. When my buddy was dying of hepatitis there was nothing I could do. It was in God's hands, or providence, or the dice? Whatever! I couldn't stop him from dying. In those situations we reach out in desperation for answers and solutions. We're willing to do things we wouldn't normally do.

Me, I'd rather take than beg, but that's just ego. If I had to, I'd dig ditches and shovel manure before someone I loved went without.

Have you considered the option that our system could actually get worse? Haven't you been listening to the horror stories coming out of England. Once someone gets into a system, they're numbers. You're just a statistic that can be written off. Have you considered the fact that a beuaracrat might just write off your gal because she costs too much money?

Options:

Do you go to church? My friend's child recently died of HDH. He's just a butcher and doesn't make much. His church teamed up with a Catholic Org and paid for a lot of the treatments. In the end it didn't matter. No matter how much money they threw at it. It wasn't enough.

Have you asked the Shriners? They can point you into the right direction. They help people and don't ask anything in return.

Do you have any friends or family that you could hit up for money? I know it sucks but eff pride. I'd rather have my loved ones than my ego.

What about the WP? I've done favors for people on here and a few people have hooked me up too.
