I had to leave my job and go on disability, and because of that I lost my insurance and could not afford my oxygen any ideas where to get help? I am also a diabetic so most my monies are used for insulin
Start by calling social security. The are very helpful. Since you are on disability if its thru ssi they should help. Also are you in a state that expanded medicaid if so you may qualify for that. They cover everything. I take it u are not eligible for medicare yet carrect?
Check these answers: you might find some suggestions there as it appears others have faced this problem.
I take it you didn't keep COBRA insurance? And right now you don't have any health insurance at all? Do you have a social worker who has handled your disability insurance?
I honestly don't know of any sources, but you might contact a social worker in your county's health department; they might have some suggestions.
But you might try contacting the pharmaceutical company that provides insulin to see if you can get some assistance through them. Some big pharmas will help patients in need.
