Urgent Help Needed for Medical and Housing Costs

I can’t believe my life dramatically changed in an instant. Yesterday I was just chilling with my friends & today I’m totally in disbelief. I was assaulted in my apartment where I lived by a swatter trying to save a woman from getting beat on. I was hit in the head with a metal pole & knocked unconscious. I woke up in a puddle of blood. I was then soon rushed to the ER where I was in critical condition & in ICU for 3 weeks. I suffered a TBI (Traumatic Brain Injury). My skull was cracked & it punctured a vein in my brain which shut my whole right side of my body down, which is called Hemiparesis of right dominant side due to non-cerebrovascular etiology. I had to have brain surgery & I had 37 stitches going across the top of my head. I also suffer seizures that I’m constantly having, depression & anxiety due to the incident. I’ve been denied Medicaid & have not been approved for SSI & I just don’t know what to do. I’m trying to find ways to pay for hospital bills, visits to the pain doctor, physical & occupational therapy. I’ve also been evicted out of my apartment due to me being hospitalized & not being able to pay my rent because my body isn’t strong enough to carry things. I can’t walk on my own because I’m paralyzed on one side of my body which causes me to use a walker & wheelchair. My apartment didn’t have any security or cameras or any remorse for what happened to me on their property. They allowed someone to come into my home & steal everything I had in my apartment. So I’m homeless with no help or anywhere to go. I’m trying to stay positive & motivated but it’s so much a young person can take or handle on their own. Please help me if you can & send prayers because this is my last resort. I don’t have anyone to help me at this time. People who know me know I would never get on social media & ask for anything or the type to post my personal life. Right now it’s so hard because I don’t have the help or the support system. I went from a completely independent man to a disabled man who’s trying to stay strong throughout these life changes that I can’t control & all I can do is pray. Hopefully with the proper medical care I’ll be able to walk on my own again.
