SENIORS: Can't afford basic care

I’m 68 years old and get $956 a month. I can’t go to a doctor because Medicaid won’t pay for it. I can’t afford to.

I have a big dog that will not get in a car or any other rig. He got in with a porcupine and has a mouth full of quills and I can’t find a vet that will come out here to remove them or give me something so I can remove them. I may have to put him down, but I love him. All the vet and doctor want is your money; they don’t care about you.

I live near some forest land. You drive down the road and you can find where some lazy person has dumped his garbage in the woods. I used to pick it up, but I can’t do it anymore. I can only walk with canes. It makes me mad. Most of the things dumped can be recycled.
