Shawn Heilman (August_SAH) survive, medical needs
Hi, my name is Shawn. My internet friends know me by my middle name August. I was a 24/7 caretaker for my bed-bound mom (who was my heart) for years. She recently lost her long, difficult health battle, and passed away. The result has been upcoming bankruptcy for me from thousands in medical debt, and loss of all savings. (Credit is shot, loans aren’t an option). I have a gum disease that is painful to the point of being nearly debilitating at times, and have lost 15 teeth so far (16 and 17 on the way). My unemployment has been abruptly cut off, and I don’t have enough money to pay a phone bill, let alone rent. I’m going to be in pretty bad pain, with a broken mouth, and homeless. I’m also going to loose all my belongings. Bed, cookware, computer, everything. Any money would help me survive and pay for desperately needed medical expenses. The homeless system is very rough, And in my condition, it’s going to be very difficult to pull myself out of. I’m embarrassed to ask for help, but I very much need it, I want to try and at least fight for my home. I would need to get this dental issue resolved, be able to work, move forward...I added a few screenshots, showing my remaining unemployment at 0 days, I don’t know if I can get it re activated, physical locations are closed and the phone Communication is non existent. (can’t show eviction until it happens, but it will soon. Can show default of credit if necessary. Can try and show proof bank balance if needed, at about 37 dollars now, will need for whatever essentials that provides) I need help, It has been the hardest year of my life, Im trying to prevent things from falling apart completely. If I’m evicted that will show on my records along with bankruptcy, making it even harder to find housing in the future. I need to try and get to a stable place. Times are tough all around, But if anyone can help at all, I’m in pretty serious need. Thank you for your time and consideration - Shawn.
