I've seen that you can get waivers for ADHD medications. My only concern is will you can only allow/get one months worth of meds. Does anyone have any experience with this?
Situation:
I'm 26 years old man. Currently near Orlando. Like the title says I'm about to be homeless.
My mother died of cancer 6 months ago. That drained me and my immediate family of money.
I been scouring the internet for advice. I wanted to post about what I found and my situation to see if I can get more strategies and tips.
What I have:
- A car
- A Library Card
- Portable Charger
- Gig apps like instawork, bluecrew, wonolo etc...
- 350$
- A phone
What I've done:
- Apply to jobs like crazy on indeed and zip recruiter.
- Apply to temp agencies
-Apply to Jobs on coolworks in hopes of getting a job and a place to stay.
- Apply for SNAP
- Made a list of local food banks, and churches that might be willing to help.
What I'm going to do:
- Continue to apply for jobs and pick up as many gig shifts I can.
- Ask my family and friends for assistance/ if the can let me couch serf
- Buy a tent and sleeping bag
- Buy clothes for cold weather
- Buy a gym membership for the shower
- Get triple A in case of a car break down
- contact my debt collection agencies and start figuring out a payment plan
-Call 211
- save money for effecines or room mates. I'm looking on apps like spareroom and craigslist. let me know other places to look
financial situation:
- I owe 350$ month for my car. I have paid it off for this month of may but I am one payment behind. 9,000$ car debit.
- 35$ for medical insurance.
- I owe 1,500$ to my credit card. I talk to the bank and pay 60 dollars a month for it.
- Several medical bills that total to about 3,000$ dollars, currently don't have a payment plan for them.
- Bad credit. around 400 credit score.
What I'm considering:
-Moving out of Florida I heard it is not a good place to stay if you're homeless.
What's concerning me:
- I have a 7 month + cavity that has been getting worse
- My car might break down, I have taken it to the mechanic and fixed it up to the best of my ability. But I will be putting a lot of miles on my car and it and older model 2013 hyndai sonnata with 150,000+ miles
- I have adhd and takes meds for it, I'm concerned about losing access to my meds my insurance bill is only 34$ a month but I don't know if I will qualify next year and or continue.
- I also struggle with ADHD and Depression any advice in regards to that welcomed.
- I have asthma and been having frequent attacks my inhaler is running out soon and I don't know if I can handle a medical bill that might come with that. I have asked for a refill but my insurance has denied it.
Tips I read about.
- Get a job and make money no matter what
- Don't look homeless. Maintain hygiene and appearance.
- Be careful where you park and camp, keep rotating areas and make sure you are out of sight.
- Be careful of homeless shelters, people get you sick and steal from you.
- Be Patiently persistent when looking for help from social workers and the government
- Sometimes renting an air condition storge unit and putting a matress there can help you have a place to sleep during the day.
- If you buy a drink keep the cup you might be able to use it for a refill.
