Support Needed for Medical Bills and Living Costs
Donation protected
Updated 2/21/25
I finally had my appointment with the specialist a couple days ago! It went pretty well and some medications have been changed and added. Since the appointment, physically, I have felt better, but there is definitely still room for improvement. I have been cleared to drive again, but only for short distances of 30 minutes or less, but I will take that as a win for sure. The doctor still does not want me to work and suggested applying for disability and informed me that he would be willing to help with that however he could. I spoke to a law firm this morning about disability and the process has started, but it will be a minimum of six months before I get an initial decision from the Social Security administration. I also applied for unemployment a couple weeks ago, which I had not done sooner because I didn’t think I qualified. Turns out that I do, but I still have yet to hear anything about that. While things are heading in a good direction, the bill machine keeps on rolling and I still don’t have many options as far as income until one of these things that I mentioned shakes loose. I really hate asking because I know times are tough for everybody, but my options are slim right now. Everyone that has donated so far has helped me immensely and made me feel extremely cared for and if no one donates again I completely understand. I just really appreciate all the support up to this point and I love you guys.
