Help Chris Overcome Disability and Homelessness
Donation protected
My Story:
Dear Friends, Family, and Kind Strangers, My name is Chris, and I’m reaching out to you during the most difficult chapter of my life. At 52 years old, I’ve been battling Ankylosing Spondylitis, a debilitating and painful condition that has progressively stolen my ability to work and live independently. For the past three years, I’ve been trapped in a nightmare, waiting for Social Security Disability to process my case. My disability hearing is finally scheduled for next month, but until then, I am facing overwhelming challenges that I cannot overcome alone.
The Struggle:
Over the past year, I’ve been in a relentless fight to avoid eviction. The stress of this battle, compounded by my health issues, has left me mentally and financially ruined. I’ve exhausted my savings, borrowed from friends, and done everything in my power to stay afloat. Unfortunately, the time has come where I can no longer hold on without help. I made a deal to stop the eviction, but the agreement requires that I vacate my apartment by the end of next month. With no income and no place to go, I’m faced with the harsh reality that I will soon be homeless.
What I Need:
Despite everything, I have a plan to survive until my disability case is resolved, and hopefully, I receive the back pay I desperately need.
See what I did there? “Back” pay? Spinal humor, sorry.
To make it through the next few critical months, I need your help. Here’s what your donations will go towards:
- Moving Supplies: I need to purchase moving boxes, packing materials, and other essentials to safely store my belongings.
- Storage Unit: Renting a storage unit to keep my possessions safe while I navigate this uncertain time.
- Movers: I am physically unable to move heavy items on my own due to my condition. I need to hire professional movers to help me transition my belongings into storage.
- Basic Survival: Until my Social Security Disability is approved and I receive back pay, I need funds to cover basic survival needs like food, medications, transportation, and temporary shelter.
The Finish Line:
I’m so close to finally getting the support I need through Social Security Disability, but I need your generosity to help me cross the finish line. The past few years have been a grueling test of endurance and willpower. I’ve been blessed by the kindness of friends and even strangers who have helped me survive this far. Now, I have to humbly ask for your support one more time. This is my last hope to keep my life from falling apart completely. Your donation, no matter how small, will make a tremendous difference in helping me navigate these next few critical months. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your kindness, your generosity, and for giving me the strength to keep going. I look forward to the day when I can pay it forward and help others in need, just as you’ve helped me. I hope this finds you well, and as always, I appreciate your patience and support.
With gratitude and hope,
Chris
