Check with the manufacturers of the individual drugs. Some of them have programs to help you. Have you checked to see if your WIFE is eligible for Social Security benefits, since she is ill?

First of all I feel your pain. I went thru the same thing. I am 60 with a lung problem and divorced.......That, however is NOT what I wanted to say. There are 6 answers above mine right now. All 6 of them are excellent, caring answers. You could try everyone of them. When I see something like this happen on this site, I feel like it's almost worth the idiots that get on here with porn and nasty things. We can ban them and chase them off.
It is just good to see a group of people helping someone else.

Please got to www.needymeds.com and see if the meds your wife needs are on there. If they are you can apply for them through the pharmaceutical company. They will send you an application which you and your doctor must fill out. Then they will send the meds to your doctor in as samples. They will send six month supplies at a time.
I hope this helps you.
Regards,
Robert

many hospitals have patient advocates that can apply for free meds through programs that pharma companies have.
good luck.
