Hi, my name is Andrew De La Torre. On July 25th, 2024, I tried to commit suicide. I spent over 5 days in Memorial Care Long Beach Medical Center and 1 and a half weeks in Glendora Hospital because my health insurance made me be transferred to a new hospital that could care for me. Now I'm stuck with a large medical bill, have no source of income, and was fired by Talking Rain Beverage Company because my MS (Multiple Sclerosis) diagnosis, back on March 17 ,2024 which prevented me from driving, walking normally, constant dizziness, and lifting anything over 2.5 lbs. I was receiving some disability pay from CA Social Security, but that has run out, and I was using that to pay for my medical bills and other expenses like my medication, medical tests, or even doctor appointments. Being fired from my job also made me lose my health insurance, but now I have signed up for new health insurance (Health Net) under the Covered California umbrella.

I am asking for everyone to see if you can help me try to get back to not being broke or a burden to everyone in my life.
