Noticed your post. I'm unfamiliar with all free help, but I know sheri712 needs this help maybe you could look for her post and help her out if you haven't already. She's in a bad situation.
Thanx

I think it was a troll. Not so much because of the language, but because he/she posted only once probably trying to "stir things up".
People who struggle with the language usually post often in the same thread trying to clarify their original question. They're usually painfully aware of their linguistic limitations.
By the way, even if you're illegal, you can still join some HCV support group and get some often invaluable advice:

Also, there are some free clinics that can help you. In my area we have:
http://www.stpetersburgfreeclinic.org
Also, there are non-government groups and centers for supporting uninsured and poor HCV patients. For example, The Chance Center here in Tampa Bay area. It gives these people "a chance to win the battle against this silent killer, regardless of insurance or income".

Sometimes I wonder about posts like this. The title of it is spelled well and there is no "language imperfections" really noticeable....
"How a patient with hepatitis C and no legal status could get treatment or help in USA?"...
Then you read the post and it is like this...
"doors closet every where, no ligth at the end of tunnel, there no exist without s.s, number, thanks for yours advisors"....
I've seen folks come around and ask questions like this before, and it starts up all kinds of things. Makes one wonder if it just isn't someone wanting to "stir things up" LOL.

gee...you guys are great. hope they've got a back up plan 'cuz doesn't look like they're gonna get much of a reception..
I agree this could be a troll. But then again, I've met some people traveling who are fine when writing or speaking certain phrases and get lost when elaborating.
I consider myself lucky to be getting as much assistance with tx as I am. I was diagnosed in Bangkok and told interferon alone would cost me about $400./week. That is a lot of money for most Thais. Illegal ag workers there earn $2-3./ day for back breaking work. This is why Thailand is in no hurry to grant refugee status to the thousands who flee Burma. Sorry about the digression.
TO the poster: there is no legal way you can get help without proper ID.

i agree, not wanting to be insensitive it it is a legitimate post but this one looks suspiciously like that same other person who seems to find his way here to agitate and aggravate the forum members. if it is legitimate i hope they find their own way through it. i side with others, if illegal - shouldn't be here anyway
I'm sorry that you have HCV. Concidering all the united states gov't does do
for illeagal's and other countries is above and beyond the call of duty.
Not very happy about the war, as again it's not our war to be fighting. I'm a mother and I can't stand knowing of all these children in their 20's and younger dying for who? Another country!
In a lot of situations more than I care to express, illeagals receive more if it's free it's for me. Isn't that one of the biggest reasons people keep breaking the rules and laws sneaking into the usa.
I don't wish anyone the pain and misery of what us heppers go through, but maybe if you went back to your people they could help.
Please do remember that we have americans born and raised here who don't have medical ins. and have to fight to stay alive and take care of their families.
sorry for your frustration
