Help a Family Overcome Financial Hardship

Donation protected
As most know, I was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes in my early 20s. It has been a roller coaster ride, to say the least. I lost my job at that age due to the illness. I then pursued multiple jobs after and was denied or told I couldn't because of my illness. I was then placed on disability, where I finally found some comfort knowing I could pay my bills and do what was needed. Then, in 2018, I was kicked off because I was told my condition was no longer hindering me. I accepted it and moved on. I then pursued my own business where I did construction. I met a lot of good people, but my health didn't allow me to do the work I needed to do in a timely manner, causing hardships with my family financially and also problems with my clients. So, I put in multiple applications to be denied every time until I got on at Lowe's. I thought I was set, but then my pump was new, so I had consistent issues. I missed work for lows and highs. I then started to stress, causing more issues, and then I lost that job. Life has been tough, to be honest. The constant bashing, the constant telling me I can't do this, I can't do that, has really affected my mental state. I am currently back fighting for disability, trying to get some kind of regularity back in my life. This all leads up to now. We are currently financially in turmoil between my medical expenses and my daughter being diagnosed with the same thing. We are struggling to make ends meet. We would appreciate any help we can get. This is our absolute last resort. Anyone who knows me knows I do not ask for anything; I do my best to earn it, but I have hit a very, very low point.
