I am sorry to hear about all of your problems and I wish I was in a position to help you personally ...but unfortunately most people are strapped with there own finiancial problems when they have children and loved ones who take medicine on a regular basis. I agree with danny ... I think that a local church or Social service or the Health Department could help you in some way if you can prove that having the phone is needed for an emergency. Best of luck and I will pray that you find the help that you need ! Sincerely Cherry laneCherry lane
