hi my name is amy and i am new at this so be patient please. i have a 23 year old sister who has cf. she is married and has 2 beautiful little girls ages 5 and 3 1/2. she doesn't have a computer however she is looking for some pen pals. hopefully ones in her same situation. she has been so strong throughout this whole thing. i honestly believe its because of her two little girls. they help her to see life at a different angle. she stays at home with them. the oldest just started school this year. she really works with them alot and they are so smart for their age. i help her as much as possible. i also have 2 kids so together we have our hands full. she would also like some info on getting help. she currently gets an ssi check but shouldn't her kids be able to get some help also. we live in such a small town where help is very limited. here its sad to say but if your married then help is extra hard to get--that's really sad! her husband is a farmer and they live on a very tight budget. so she could really use some help. well enough about us how's everybody else doing? i hope this finds everyone well. well any info will be of great help and look forward to talking with all of you. god bless all of you and you're in our prayers.--cfsis

CFsis, try looking into food stamps, cash assistance (GAU-general assistance for the unemployable), HUD housing/mortgage assistance (mortgate assistance is available in limited areas but worth looking into). If she is on SSI, her children aren't elgible for any cash assistance, but if she is on SSDI (does she have any work history) her children are elgible to recieve some of her check.

Let me know what state she lives in and I'll see if I can find anything specific.

Oh, also, does she have medicaid or medicare? Do her children and husband have medical insurance for themselves?

You can email me if you wish at division902@hotmail.com

julie---
thanks for the info. she does get medicaid and her kids get it also. however i don't believe her husband has any healthcare coverage. she lives in georgia and she has worked once in her life maybe for only like 2 months and she was in and out of the hospital so she decided to quit working. hope everything is finding you guys well. you could e-mail me any info if you need its dadzdutch@yahoo.com. thanks again so much and god bless you and your family. cfsis
