for medication. My mother has to take medication
for the rest of her life, and it is very expensive (not covered)
she can't afford to pay for it. any ideas would be greatly appreciated

Many drug companies have patient assistance programs. I'm a social worker and help families with this sort of thing all the time. Please feel free to pm me and Is be glad to try to help

Your first step should be identifying the drug company (Pfizer, other?) and calling them to find out about possible payment assistance programs.
Sometimes they will offer discounts of about 35%. One you get that in place, you can proceed further trying to figure out how to procure the rest.
