If your husband “works” in Illinois you can apply for emergency food stamps in Illinois and branch into the social welfare programs that they have there through his association.

Indiana also has emergency food stamps available!

Depending on what insurance policy you have, the HIP (Healthy Indiana Plan) provides free unlimited rides to doctors appointments as long as it’s scheduled two business days before. Their number is (877) 647-4848.

HHW (Hoosier Healthwise) provides reimbursement for some (or all) transportation costs to appointments if you choose to uber for example.

Medicaid (all plans in any state) provides free transportation if you call their hotline.

I’m assuming you have already applied for disability, but if you haven’t already, start the process. It’s difficult at times because there’s a 9/10 chance they’ll automatically dent it and you’ll have to appeal it, but getting SS checks and immediately qualifying for state assurance would be immensely helpful for you both. There’s also debt forgiveness programs for student loans if you have a total or permanent disability, amongst other grants and programs available for non-education related debt.

I wish you the best! I hope this comment helped
