they used to need approval, which is a good thing. This happens about every 8 weeks and has for several years.

For those who would want to do it that way.

I have tried other ways and of course did not want to ask. Only when it got very important did I post it.

Maybe use those resources! You've tapped into the generosity of DUers to the tune of thousands over the years. You've been sent so much money, and been provided links to so many resources.

We had one offer but it was way too low. We’ve owed on the mortgage for a long time. We’re lucky to still be in the house. So we need close to the sale price. Business has really slowed down but the real estate agent said it is like that all around in September and October. Thanks for asking, Deb!

Will handle the meds and get them to you. Pharmacies deliver.

Call the social worker immediately.

11. Pharmacy closes at 9 Eastern
Fri Oct 11, 2024, 05:07 PM
Oct 11

I really don’t want mom to go another day.

It’s only a few miles but fares are high and we literally just have a couple dollars. Walking is not an option on that road with no side area. I have looked into the PA Department of Aging ride share program and must wait for the application. Could be an option later. No good neighbors or friends or family to help.

About free and low-cost ride services for the elderly and disabled in your resources-rich area. Only now you're getting an application? Have the pharmacy deliver.

I’m afraid this is a dilemma your mother has to handle. It’s her social worker.

You’ve said before you live in a suburban neighborhood. I’m really sorry to say this, but….there’s zero chance that a neighbor, knowing your mother’s dire need for a ride a few miles, wouldn’t help.

Have your mother knock on your neighbor’s doors. Explain the situation. One of them will help. Neighborhoods are like that.

Always some story, never any proof...

When I offered you $500 to prove any of your claims, you refused and then deleted your post to cut off comments.

Then you did it again. Twice.

I'm frankly surprised that DU allows this sort of behavior.

I really didn’t want to create this but I hope everyone understands I had to. We can still get to the pharmacy tomorrow if we get help. $15 would at least get the prescription.

Mom did not sleep at all. I have tried other means to get over there and back and it’s terribly frustrating not being able to.. we live a very stressful life and mom has no pills. I wish I could convey how sad this situation is making me.

or her doctor. That’s your best option.

This method of coming here and asking good people for their hard earned money while saying you’ll explore the options people suggest- that’s not working.

Of your 400+k house. If that's not enough, then you're going to have to get a job. It sucks, I know, but it is what it is.

The PA Dept of Vocational Ed can train and place you in a wfh job. Have you ever worked? Dont you want your own Social Security at age 67? Have you thought of that? If you start now, you'll get a solid 20 yrs in and get your quarters in.

This is bizarre
