I have a friend who has diabetes and suffers from gastroparesis. Her doctor says that she needs to have the “pacemaker” implant but cannot afford it. Are there any agencies or groups that assist in providing financial aid for indigent people? I have searched as much as I know how. She has medicare but they won’t pay anything on the part which is absolutely out of her financial ability. She has two children, 7 and 9 years old, and gets no child support for them.
