Yeah, and they don’t consider the school is too cheap to buy supplies like markers, scissors, glue, balls, etc. Some of these things get used up, others have a way of walking away, but to be able to do labs in physics, he will have to buy different types of balls , marbles, rubber bands, notebook paper (which the kids just won’t bring to class), golfing pencils because they won’t bring anything to write with either, etc. These supplies do not have much monetary value when taken alone, but over the school year, he usually ends up having to spend significant money on this, even with using the dollar store as often possible. Then, they give him health insurance with a $7500 deductible, get a medical emergency like I did, oops, you are out $7500...but wait, it gets better, each family member has to contribute $2500 towards the deductible for it to kick in for them...so medical stuff is 100% out of pocket for my husband and daughter.


I called the charity worker at the hospital. Voice mail. I am so depressed today. I jus5 want to give up.
