My name is Bryan Cennami, and I just turned 40. Half my life has been in and out of the hospital. I have been diagnosed with multiple medical conditions such as Lupus, congestive heart failure/cardiovascular disease, microvascular ischemia, I have 4 stents, a leaky left ventricle, and functional neurological disorder. I also have a SP tube to void my bladder.

I have been denied SSDI twice: one saying I am not disabled enough, and the second denial was because they said I don’t do drugs, which is odd because I never said I did. Unfortunately, I haven’t been able to work since December, so money is tight as I don’t currently have an income. I have been trying to do small jobs here and there, but I can’t do them on a consistent basis. It's very hard to ask for help, but any would help.
