I humbly ask for your consideration

After 25+ yrs in construction electrical and Railroad electrical work I find myself at 54 with a severe case of levocolliosis that makes it impossible to stand upright as my spine is twisted into the shape of a 'C'. MAs you can see from the photo that i REALLY did not want to share, i’ve got a big problem. I can’t stand up straight, i’ve lost 4” in height in the last year and a half. My hips and legs constantly  hurt like hell with flare-ups that make me nauseous from such intense pain. I had an MRI a week ago and the diagnosis was as follows: Severe levoscolliosis,  multi-level (L1-S1) disc degeneration, with several discs bulging, disc dessication, severe neural forminal stenosis bilaterally(narrowing of the canal that contains the nerves that shoot out from the spinal canal and go to my hips, back, legs) causing numbness, electric type shocks, excruciating pain, ghost feelings of my leg being on fire and my favorite: feeling like i peed my pants!
 I think you get the idea. If nothing is done paralysis is a real possibility. And because of a backlog due to covid it may be as long as 9 months before i can get a surgery date. And I've been told surgery has a 40-70% complication rate which has given me serious pause.  I've been waiting 36 mofor my railroad disability! THATS damn depressing. So here i am asking for help from friends, family and strangers. I hate doing this but my situation is so dire, ‘go fund me’ is one of my few remaining options. 
Hang on, it gets better(actually worse!) On May 1st it will be 3 yrs without shelter, housing challenged, urban camping, however you want to spin it, i hate it. Most nights i spend sleeping in the drivers seat of my KIA forte with 240k miles, bouncing around various parking lots or remote streets. It had been so long since i had slept in a bed i spent a good portion of my pandemic monies on a hotel room just to feel normal for a minute. Needless to say Kaiser will not proceed with surgery if i don’t have a reasonable place to recover.   I’m also in contact with local agencies who assist homeless people. I have a 13 yr old son who I adore and see on a frequent basis but has no idea of the extent of my situation. IF YOU KNOW LUKE PLEASE!!!KEEP THIS INFO TO YOURSELF! Our kids have been through so much this year and Luke is super empathetic, he doesn’t need to be worried about me and i do my best to be sure he doesn’t. He knows i’m not doing well financially and health wise and he worries enough about that.
 .I’ve been surviving off the $200  and food stamps I get every month from the county.My basic phone service costs $40 leaving me with about $150 for the month. I’ve either sold everything I owned or I’ve lost it. Last week I lost my final stored belongings when the storage place auctioned it off since i couldn’t pay the $75 bill. And then a couple weeks ago someone  broke into my car and stole my meds and the little cash I had, and my dirty laundry!?!  I’ve lost contact with old friends and honestly I’m too ashamed to ask them. It’s easier annoynomusly. If i can make my goal or at least a portion of it, i will be in a far better position to focus on recovery and living again. I’ve gone on for far too long but i wanted to get the whole miserable story down. And i’ve left out lots more depressing stories that just add to the whole disaster my life has turned into.
I don’t know what else to say, and ive said too much. My life has pretty much fallen apart. I still have my son keeping my hope alive. I just want to get a roof over my head, even if it's only for a night. Thanks for your time and your assistance. PLEASE do not donate if your going through tough times too! If not maybe just send some warm vibes, prayers, meditations, or whatever my way. I’m in the white Kia in some parking lot....parked next to the young couple living in their van, or the 70 something yr old guy in his mini van, or any of the other invisibles i silently nod to every morning. Each of us in the same position with similar stories... lost on the streets of LA.
