I am Troys mom and I am trying to get a $500.00 med. That is with insurance. His Dad lost his job because of the corona virus,and I am helping him and his brother that is on disability. The med. is over a thousand without the insurance and I do not have the money to get the med. I'm having to buy food. He is choking on everything he eats and sometimes he can't catch his breath. He gets very scared when he can't catch his breath. He is a cna at the heart hospital but the insurance will not cover. He doesn't even bring that much home in 2 weeks. I wanted to see if he could get a blue card to help him get that one med. Please call Alicia Thornton 806-544-9420. Prefer a call if possible. Thank you
