I am desperate for help

Hello! Please forgive me I am new to this group! I am desperate. I am 31 years old 5ft 6 and weigh 450 lbs. I have battled my weight all my life and even lost 150 lbs at one point- but gained it back. I have wanted surgery for 2 years but was not insured until I was recently picked up by our state's (PA) "Adult Basic" program . It clearly states that WLS is not covered. (I had waited 2 years to be covered and I cried hysterically when I read that!) I do not qualify for medical assistance because my husband is disabled and recives SSDI payments. Even though it is only 1,200 a month for 5 of us, it is considered too much for me to quailify. I have so many health problems and I am terrified I will die young and leave my three boys without a mother. My husband has been very ill for years, he would not be able to care for them. Finances are getting beter since we have started our own business but are still so tough. Our credit is horrible, so we would never qualify for a loan - I tried that! My family is poor and can't help either. I would do ANYTHING to get help. Travel anywhere, do anything, but I don't even know where to start. I am so scared and desperate. I Have been trying so hard to make a difference in the world (that is what our company is about) but I need an Angel to help me. I don't want to be a super model... I just want to be able to fuction, to run around with my boys. (They are 8 and 2 (twins). I don't dream about being beautiful, I dream about playing soccer with them! Can anyone offer some suggestions or even just a shoulder to cry on by someone who understands? I am so desperate.
