Every day, the faces of children, elderly, and entire families precede the sad stories heard by The Sharing Center interviewers and caseworkers. These are the faces of sadness and despair, people who have nowhere else to turn when they experience a crisis in their lives. Children, elderly, moms and dads, all are affected when tragedy strikes.

Getting a 4-Year-Old Up & Running Again

Four-year-old Jay is free again - running and playing outdoors with his friends today. Amber, his Mom, called The Sharing Center, laughing and crying all at once: "I can never thank you enough!" Because of Jay's asthma, "I had been keeping him home and not active because we couldn't afford the inhaler, and he needs it to breathe. I was afraid to let him play too much!"  
 
MedNet Navigator Tonia Vogel explains "We got that inhaler for Jay just hours before his would have run out, and his parents were so frightened, knowing their little boy had to have this, and they had no money to get it. I was so happy to be able to get it for him."
 
Amber has not been able to find work since losing her job, her unemployment insurance recently ended, and husband Trey's paycheck isn't enough to buy health insurance. After securing the inhaler for Jay, Tonia also helped the couple to apply for Medicaid and Florida Healthy Kids Insurance to keep Jay on the go.
 
Tonia, a former medical assistant, has joined The Sharing Center staff to help uninsured or under-insured patients to get urgently needed prescriptions filled.  "Here, I'm able to help a lot of people like Jay and his parents," she said, "and that really makes me feel good!”
