Young man at the County's mercy, need help Please

NYC started this conversation

My son broke his ankle about 2 years ago and had to go through the county, it took  a year to get his surgery by that time his bone had collasped and was dead, they manage to save his foot although he can not run or do heavy equipment work anymore. He has had no income for the past 2 years and was a stay at home Dad for his daughter. He now has found out that he has serious back problems from putting all his weight on one leg and also that his ankle is broke again. His live in girlfriend kicked him out and he has no income, he is 30 years old, he started back at the county clinic today and they gave him a referral to see a specialist in the county hospital. I am just afraid it will take a long time again as Harris county moves real slow. They also gave him prescriptions today and even though he has no income he had to pay 15.00 for them I know that does not sound like a lot of money, but to someone that has no money it is an aweful lot. Does anyone out there have some knowledge or info on some programs that might be available to him or where he can get some better medical help?  Any and all info would be greatly appreciated, like I said before he had to wait a year before finaly getting surgey and if he could of got his foot operated on right away he would of been ok today but they really did not think they could even save the foot because it had all colasped and the tissues had died do to the long wait. Any help would be appreciated.
