    My strongest advice is for them to go to the cardiologist NOW, explain
    their dire straits, and see if the doctor can supply part/all of the medications from samples. Usually docs will do this when they know the problem. Alternatively, sometimes the doc can substitute cheaper
    medications when they know the problem, if there are no samples
    available for what he is currently taking.

    Second recommendation is to go to the utility companies and check on
    bill averaging. This might save them some bucks too.

    Third recommendation is to go to loan/mortgage companies, explain their situation frankly, and see if they can work something out, such as
    paying only the interest on loans for this period. If there are credit
    card loans involved, they might check with a consolidator about lowered payments.

    URGENT PLEASE READ
    Our friend recently suffered a heart attack at 46 years old.
    He is a regularly working contracted employee (self employed) who will be unable to work for 6 or 7 weeks from the time of the heart attack with absolutely no income.
    He has paid taxes all of his life but is not eligible for government assistance
    of any type as his wife is working earning $1400.00 monthly. This obviously does not support their family including their 2 kids but does exclude them from any agency help.
    Mrs. Sheffer was even told that if she were a crack head or unemployed, they could then offer assistance.
    They have now missed their rent, had to give up their car, had to add $300 monthly in medications and the quality of their life has sunken to new lows. This is a kind and considerate hard working family who has fallen on temporary hard times and could sure use a kindly hand before it's too late. We are trying to prove that people DO still care even if our government doesn't.
    We have set up a donation PO Box at the address below and could sure use your
    help!

    Donna Sheffer, 3216 Eglinton ave. east, Scarborough, Ontario, Canada, M1J 2H6 Your generous donation $1, $2, $5, $10, $20 whatever would be greatly appreciated.
    Help restore a little faith and save a real family.
    God Bless

    Um, he was mocking you because you fell for a scam artist. I hope you
    didn't give your bank account number to that guy from Nigeria...

    Seriously, don't send/spend money, time, effort on this. These sorts of appeals are well documented on internet scam sites. What is worse is
    they redirect legitimate care/concern/compassion away from true needs.
