A little help for a big heart

Greetings everyone. First I would like to say thank you for taking the time to visit and read into my story. My name is Anthony Albert and I have been struggling with several medical conditions over the past 5-7 years. I have a big heart, no really, congestive heart failure, or CHF, is actually a swollen heart that does not pump blood efficiently. My ejection fraction last I got info on it was below 30 and I'm fatigued all the time because of that and my atrial fibrillation. That started in 2012 and I've been fighting that battle and am thankfully stable enough on medication to at least be able to take care of myself and enjoy my life. Back in 2010, I got injured on the job and after several doctor's visits was told I have spinal stenosis. It's bad enough now that standing for any extended period of time becomes painful and thanks to my heart condition I'm not supposed to be inactive for long periods of time either. Well, this all sounds pretty bad but I was managing and still too proud to ask for help because I was supporting myself sufficiently and that was ok. Within the last 2 years I have been diagnosed with fatty liver (non-alcohol related as I don't drink), splenomegaly, depression/anxiety, and here's the killer, diabetes. Yep, so now I have a list of serious medical conditions.
I financed a vehicle last year around October when my mother was visiting and had to be put in the hospital. At the time I was driving a van that was on the last toe of the foot on its last leg. I was in a spot and needed a vehicle. At this time I thought everything was stable enough for me so I took out a loan to finance a 2010 Hyundai Santa Fe. That loan after all the stuff they add on (first time I ever dealt with a car dealer, never again) I ended up owing nearly 18k on a 12k vehicle which I found out I got taken on pretty hard. Way to have sympathy, unnamed dealer because shade isn't the point of this story. So that being said, now I have 300 dollars a month car payment on top of my 500 a month rent as well as my health insurance (100), my student loan payments (40), and all the miscellaneous bills you would expect up to and including food and gas. I was still doing fine at this point but now I lost my job.
I filed for disability when my hours were cut, but they said I made too much money. My hours got cut again and I'm in the process of appealing the disability decision. I even got a letter from my doctor explaining my inability to reliably perform a job function due to my conditions. We will see how it goes this time.
The point of all this is that I have no job now, disability denied me despite my conditions and telling them I was gonna lose my job, and I still have bills to pay that I can't do anything about yet while I wait for disability to go through. I figured it up and all my bills come out to around 1500 per month or so depending on utility fluctuations and such. That's literally 18k a year. It's not that much when you think about it, but it's what I would need. I contacted a lawyer about my disability case and am following their instruction, but they said even with everything that's going on, I'm probably looking at 1.5 to 2 years of fighting the courts before I get approved if I even get it then! How is that right? I've been a hard working American for over 20 years and paid my dues like everyone else! Now I'm down on my luck and the system is giving me a hard time? How is that American? I humbly open my big heart before you all and ask for help raising just 1 year of funds ($18000) during this trying time before it ends up being a tragedy because I fought for over 5 years to stay alive, only to be killed by a heartless system. Thanks again. Love you all
