 in response to Hoppi...   Thank you! I haven't been on this space for some time due to time issues and whatnot. I am also a vet and do go to VA hospital but am not eligible for certain benefits as I was not during "wartime". I am checking into this more, but just wanted to say thanks for replying.

 in response to Relieved Widow...   Thanks for your message. I know my husband did not have any insurance. He was active member of
The American Legion, but since he was in he Army and it WAS NOT wartime, he did not qualify for many benefits. He was receiving 10% service connect benefits because he hurt his ankle in a parachute jump, but I am not entitled to that. He was on Social Security Disability for PTSD and his ankle but they could not PROVE he became ill when he was in the Army. So, I get a check for 14.00 a month on his behalf as his widow from Social Security. I still owe 7880.00 for his funeral as I am disabled and on Social Security myself and do not have extra money to pay the funeral home. Lost my home to forclosure and just lots of hard times. But I am trying. Thanks again hun. xx

I have posted first as RIP Randy and Relieved Widow. I was also widowed with two young daughters at the time. please read my last post as Relieved Widow. I know what you are talking about. I lost hope for a while but as I said before, there may be things you have overlooked. Go back and check everything since your husband died. I even found a life insurance policy he had but never mentioned. When he got sick I suppose he forgot to keep up payments. I am now checking into this. God bless you.

Some hospitals have grants for the disabled to purchase a vehicle and modify it for hand controls or wheelchair access if needed. call some charity hospitals in your state and if they dont have the grant mabey they know who might. Hope that helps.
