Most of you, my friends and coworkers and family, know I have gone through one of the biggest health crisis of my life. I was in the hospital for nearly 4 months. In and out of comas and almost died three times.
I’ve been off work now for 7 months. I’m paying huge COBRA for my benefits…$1021.55 a month now. If I don’t have my benefits, I will never get back to work!
Here’s the other part… I have completely run out of disability money. So there’s no more money coming in. I have bills and food I have to buy.
I am so close to getting back to work. I’m still learning how to walk again.
I am so humbled and embarrassed to ask this, but I have no choice.
I need money! Disability money is gone. I cashed out my vacation time. There’s nothing left.
I also have an amazing caretaker I have to pay out of pocket. She comes 4 days a week for an hour to two hours at a time.
my friends, I am desperate!!!! I think I just need a few more months, and then I’ll be able to get back to work. I need your help! So badly!
