My savings have been depleted.  Subsequently, I have lived as sparingly as possible.  I have now reached the point where I will be flat broke by early next year.

My current expenses of rent, insurance, medical and dental, food supplements, utilities, cable, phone internet, transportation/automotive, and miscellaneous average $2,200 per month.  My monthly Social Security income of $1,320, plus a pension of $40 = $1,360, resulting in a shortfall of $840 per month.

I was able to enroll in SNAP, which covers most of my food purchases.  However, due to a serious digestive problem, those SNAP benefits are more than offset by the need for four expensive over the counter supplements.  

I applied, but was turned down for financial VA benefits.

I have no family members to turn to for help.

My dwindling funds of $4,500 will give less than six months of financial existence.

I will need financial assistance soon after the first of the year in order to financially survive,

Any assistance will be accepted with eternal appreciation and gratitude. 

Thank you.
