Learning to live with a disability

Donation protected

I've always been the caregiver. My whole life has revolved around that, from working as a CNA to giving someone I care about my last $5 for gas, or food but now I need the help..



At the beginning of the year, I suffered a rare vitamin deficiency that caused nerve damage in both my legs and my right hand, resulting in me being in a wheelchair and basically losing everything from my apartment to my car and all my belongings. I've managed to make it so far, staying in a motel but I've realized I'm existing, not living and I need to figure out how to live whatever life I have now and return as much as I can to my life before.



I need to fight for the long run of this but I'm so focused on the short term living because I have to be right now to make it. I have to decide between eating and getting nutrition or getting the medication I need right now or paying for a place to be safe.



I've been close to giving up, my worst fear is being a burden to anyone and now I'm a burden to everyone but have fight left in me..



I am still working, thankfully, as much as I can however, not full time. And the benefits I've worked all my life to help support I'm having to fight to get any assistance and now possibly have to hire legal help.



I would like help so I can pay for my room for an extended amount of time, get food stocked up and a long supply of my medications so I can start working on my future without panicking about my present.
