My son got pneumonia when he was 5. he was in the hospital for 4 days and they finally sent us home with $400 worth of prescriptions. His Medicaid had gotten messed up somehow and turns out he was uninsured. We were broke AF at the time and had just paid the mortgage so $400 wasn’t in the cards. I had about $250 to my name.

I drove around to different pharmacies trying to see if it was cheaper. About the 8th pharmacy I went to the pharmacist who said “let me check the price,” went in the back and handed me the prescriptions and just smiled. I tried to ask how much they cost and he just kept smiling. I’ll never forget that guy. I’m a 6’3″ 250lb construction worker and I cried all the way home.
