Also check into your state programs. http://www.mass.gov/?pageID=eohhs2t...MassHealth+and+Insurance&sid=Eeohhs2 Take some time to check with attorneys in your area. Call in your "helper chips" enlist friends to do some leg work. Take advantage of every aid program you can find. Now is not the time to be too proud. When young children are involved usually assistance is easier to qualify for.
