Fighting for Disability Status

Donation protected
Hi My Name is Robin Gaiser. I'm 43 years old with no family to help me. I have been struggling with health problems for many years now, and it's been getting worse as time goes on.

I am pre-diabetic, have high blood pressure, iritis (immflammation of the eyeball), scleritis (swelling & knotting of the whites of the eye), stasis dermatitis with open lesions on my legs that are not healing up. I have also been experiencing mini-strokes, and have been recently hospitalized for it. I need to take eyedrops for my eye problems every few hours, but I still have trouble seeing because one of the eyedrops have caused cataracts to form. The medications to prevent the mini-strokes from happening again must be taken throughout the day, otherwise I will cramp up, unable to move. This medicine also makes me fall asleep & causes memory loss.  My legs need to be elevated several hours each day to keep my legs from painfully swelling from the high blood pressure.

I applied for Social Security Disability, because I am unable to find work with all my health issues. The judge turned me down, saying that he felt I was exaggerating my disabilities.

I am appealing his ruling, but in the meantime I am in terrible financial trouble. I have an understanding landlord (for now) but I am currently 8 months behind on rent payments. I have no income because I cannot work. If I can't raise funds soon, I will be homeless.

Please help me. I will appreciate even the smallest amount. If you can't help with a donation, please PLEASE help spread the word. I am truly desperate.

Bless you - Robin
