So am I wrong?

Question

I made a post, saying I've been looking for money because my baby needs her medicine and I can't afford it. Asking for ideas, things like that. The medicine is $45, I only have $25. I was asking for ideas and what-not saying I don't have anybody to borrow from. I've been looking or change all day. Someone commented that I was a scammer and one commented I was pathetic(comment had been removed)

I thought I could come to the Glow community. I wasn't begging, someone offered, I even said I would pay back, I honestly am. The reason I don't have money is because I left my mom and boyfriend, the father of my child Saturday. Because he burned our child with a cigarette, on purpose and didn't feed him for a day. My mother thought I was lying and overreacting and decided to stay at the house with him, because that's the only place she has because she was staying with us because she has arthritis and need help. So am I wrong? For asking for ideas and maybe a bit of help.

I don't even know why I'm anon anyways but..

Answer

It's not wrong to ask for ideas on what to do, but in my opinion, I think it's wrong to ask complete strangers on this app for money. We have our own children & our own problems that we need to pay for. I get that you need to do what you have to, but asking other people for money isn't the answer. I'm sorry & I hope you get everything figured out soon.

Answer

Don't care what any one thinks. You do whatever you can to provide for you child. You can't get her on emergency medical?

Answer

What amber said. Goodrx. You get the prescription and type in the medication you need into the website. And it will give you a discount for the medications and where to pick them up at. Sometimes up to 90% off.. I paid 5$ for a 160$ prescription for an inhaler.

Answer

Don't know if it will help you but try GoodRX to see if the med is offered cheaper anywhere else.

Answer

You can't solicit here. If you need immediate help there are various charities that could help you. Long term you need to apply for local or national programs. You clearly have access to the Internet. Google will point you in the right direction.

Answer

I hope you never ever ever go back to the father of your child. Ever.

Go to your local church asap- they should be able to help you. Do you have a job? Or can you get work (offering to clean houses, shop for someone, etc?)  Best of luck!!

Answer

Check out the website goodrx.com. Also, some pharmacies have a discount program for people who or low income or do not have insurance.

For example, my daughters ointments costs $48.00 at RiteAid. But when I go in to pay, my cost will be $9.00. The cashier just asks me if I need financial assistance.

Also, there are places like Walmart and Target that have discounted prescriptions.

Answer

Do they have anything where you live where you can donate plasma? We have a couple in my town and it's basically donating blood but they take the plasma out only but they pay you. You can make up to 350$ a month going in twice a week for 30 minutes. If not maybe see if you have anything you can sell on a garage sale page or something. Comment on my post and let me know if you've worked something out, hurts my heart knowing there's a baby out there who needs medicine.

Answer

I think you are wrong for asking here.
You aren't allowed to solicit on Glow, it's against rules.

But a few people have made suggestions that should help you out.

Also, even if you left the fathers child should be willing to pay for her medication! And if he won't I can't believe her grandmother won't help.

Answer

I ❤️the people who said your wrong. You're obviously in a crappy situation and need support. I'm sorry you had to result in asking for financial help but the people who said you are wrong can get bent. You are clearly doing what's best for you and your baby and that's all that matters
