Several times throughout the year, Social Workers from the local hospital will refer patients who may need assistance with a prescription due to lack of insurance and/or funds to pay for their medication. Several patients have been helped with prescription assistance thru Salvation Army funding. One particular patient, "Henry", had been admitted to the ER for not being able to afford a $10.00 prescription.
Henry was referred to Community Action Partnership of Mid-Nebraska's Community Services program, and with assistance thru Salvation Army funds, he was able to get his prescription.
Two weeks later while doing the Salvation Army Bell ringing campaign outside Casey’s General Store, Henry walked by and gave a $30.00 donation in gratitude for the help he had received when he needed it most. According to this gentleman the $10.00 blood pressure medication helped him so much to the point that he now has a full-time job with insurance and is able to afford his medication.
