Hello everyone, my name is Bailey (Jay) Brestel. I have been struggling with severe treatment-resistant depression for the majority of my life, as well as various other chronic mental and physical health issues. Because my depression has worsened recently, I have been unable to work. I have already applied for government aid (disability benefits) and am currently in the stage of the first appeal. Unfortunately, the process has been taking much longer than anticipated (over a year already), and I am unable to continue paying for daily necessities such as groceries, rent, electric bills, etc. Any assistance would help me immensely as I try to cover my bare minimum living payments while I wait for the government to progress on my application.

Any donations would be used exclusively for my daily living necessities (food, water, shelter). I am already doing everything I can to minimize my expenses, but I still need help. This GoFundMe is a last resort for me, as I don't know where else to turn. I am so thankful for anyone's generosity of donations. If you find yourself unable to donate, sharing my page with others would still be very helpful as it may find someone with the means to help. Thank you!
