Ill Single Dad Needing Help

Donation protected
Hello, everybody. My name is Travis Gates. I am a single father of three wonderful kids. In April of this year, I fell ill. After being prescribed six different antibiotics and losing hearing in my left ear, as well as being off work for months, my doctor informed me that I have Lupus, Rheumatoid Arthritis, low testosterone and fibromyalgia. It is a painful, difficult struggle and I am trying to keep my bills paid and trying to keep my home so that I may see my rheumatologist in October and begin treatment. In early June I lost my job as a youth counselor at a juvenile detention center because of missing work. Even though i had documentation from my doctor,I was still in the first year probationary period. When i lost my job, I lost my benefits. I have since lost my car as well. Please help me to keep my home! I have applied for both SSI and Medicare benefits, but the process is long and results are 3 months away.

Thank you all for your support, thoughts and prayers. I need all of the help I can get.
