Help Amy Up

Story

I have been diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis, Major Depression, PTSD and a form of OCD. For the last couple years I've had great difficulty being able to work enough to make a gainful living. I've had much help along the way and for that I'm very grateful. This last November there was a change for the worse in my medical conditions and I became unable to return to work. My RA is severe and aggressive. I have applied for disability, but it takes 6-8 months to get any answer at all, and 66% of applicants are denied their first time. Since then I've been scraping by with help and some piling up of bills. I have been asked to move from the home I'm living in. I do not have money for a move, or to support myself in a meaningful way, while I wait for disability or spontaneous remission of my disease. I need funds for the move, security deposit and to help support my daughter and I as we live in a meaningful way despite my conditions. My daughter is 17 and will be joining the Army after graduation, I just want her last year at home to not be filled with fear, worry and despair for her mother.
