I am writing on behalf of my brother Andrew and his family. For the past few years, his family has encountered nothing but hardships. It seems like the harder they work the more in debt they become. Just recently Andrew was diagnosed with bone marrow disease, and unfortunately, his insurance cut him completely off from aid. Also, the state of New York considers him diasabled, which makes it very difficult for Andrew to apply for aide, as well as jobs. In fact, Andrew racked up very pricy hospital bills because he had to go to the emergency countless times dues to pain, black outs, and severe fevers. Not to mention the cost of prescription drugs. No one should have to live life this way, especially not since aid is readily available in the U.S. Furthermore, Andrew had no choice but to file for bankruptcy due to his inability to work or perform tasks for money. Months after the completion of the bankruptcy, his wife Amanda was diagnosed with cancer( Leukemia), and his son, only four years old, has been very ill. I do not know what to do. I have tried almost everything that I could to try and raise money for my brother and his family. I even went to the extent and wrote Oprah a letter in hopes that she would feel my pain and answer me. Of course, nothing seemed to work. I do not want my brother and his family to continue life collecting unpaid hospital bills. This should not be happening in America. I served in the armed forces for three years, protected my country and the people. All I pray and ask for, is that the government returns the favor and helps bring hope back into my brother and his families lives. Please, tell me what I should do or what I can do.
