My husband is dying and I have gone and begged and pleeded for help to get him back to his family in New York to no avail. There is not one person , organization, or group that will help me. We are poor and we need to move from Illinois to New York and my husband is on oxygen now and bed ridden , I plead for assistance , $, or anything to help to get hism there. I have even asked for an RV to transport him there, I do know it is a lot but I have no means with the cost of all the medical cost associated with his horrible disease.But yet people jump to help those in other countries.

I have gone to every organization , business, tv , radio etc. and there is not one person in this united states that will help ,me get my husband ,who is dying with cancer , on oxygen, and medications that have put us literally in the poor house. His family are all in NY and we live in IL, I have pleaded even for a beat up RV so as to get him home as comfortable as possible. But because we are nobodies on this earth and people love thier money more than thier neighbors we have recieved no hlep. I just want his last days to be the happiest they can be he deserves at least that. He has served our country, he has raised 3 children, lost one wife to cancer and his mother & father to cancer, of which he took care of in thier last days.Can anyone tell me when money started to mean more to us than the people in our lives? Our families, neighbors, pets, those we pass on the street that smile and say hello? I have even asked television shows and celebrities to help. There is not one person.

Iam so sorry to hear the heartache you are going thru right now... And you are absolutley right help is everywhere for everyone else, except for people right here in the U.S.A.!!!!! Let's spend billons of dollars testing what cow farts do to the ozone,make war with other countries, then help them rebuild everything back with Americans money?????? And the list goes on.... My prayers are with you and your husband.I hope some kind, tenderhearted people in your hometown will open thier eyes and hearts, and yall arrive in New york very soon.

i live in illinois too n i kno that every state has more success n less disastors to worry about. see, because illinois in most parts has bad things going on everyday it is hard to tell who the good people are n they will not just give out money to neighbors that they know nothing about for all they kno u may be a crackhead makin this up to buy drugs. if i were u i would go to a nicer place in illinois other then neighbors try different churches and if it doesnt work out there r always bank loans. Now other states seem to have nicer cities no shoot out drug sellers or every day crimes happen so they have less to lose and more time to do good things and ad to their communities.

Have you tried your local American Red Cross or how about a United Way in your area. Better yet, have you tried contacting your local television station/radio station, explaining the situation and bringing community awareness to you and your family's needs? I can't answer for everyone obviously, but I think that some people may feel as though it's their responsibility to help people regardless of where they come from or live. Sometimes people don't get the help that they need because people aren't aware of their needs. Remember....A closed mouth doesn't get fed.........Best wishes....

because We are not the Christian nation everybody say's We are it is just lip service from feel good Christians.

GOOD QUESTION!!! We are all trying but for every good person there is a bad person! There are also more unfortunate people in those countries so some caring people put other first!

I'm so sorry for your husband, and the stress this must be causing you. If I were working, I'd send you some cash. What I can do, is pray, and I promise I will. God bless.

you aren't strategically important and you don't have any publicity.
