LadyUnicornEJGI have a lot on my plate right now. I have less than 3 months to come up with $3200 to get my two teeth fixed (at 216 so far). I also have a #NonVerbal, #probablyautistic preschooler with so many febrile seizures we've had to travel 200+ miles to a children's hospital twice in the last month. We have another in just over a week, so early it will require a hotel room. Then another nearly as far for his screening/diagnosis. All of these trips take so long we have to eat out.
I hate that I have to feed my kids so much fast food lately. I hate that just grabbing food puts more financial strain, too. But I'm not sure what else to do. Soft coolers struggle in the heat of a car.
So far we have had family help with the trips, but it's taking a toll on the primary one helping. IDK how long they're going to be able/willing. And I can't handle the process to even get gas reimbursed with his Medicaid. They'll only do it if we act like their paid drivers, it seems.
