Help disabled father and autistic son keep house

Donation protected
Hello, my name is Joshua Harris, I am an autistic man who lives with his father on account of I simply cannot live on my own due to the crippling nature of my own depression/anxiety (of which I take medication to help counteract some of the worst of it). My father was let go from his warehouse manager job of 24 years not that long ago (a move I found quite deplorable on the part of my father's ex-employer given how loyal of an employee he was and how hard he worked) and unfortunately due to his age and physical disabilities with his legs and back (which he is still receiving medical attention for, most of said physical problems even happened at his old place of work around the time they let him go, making my father's sudden job loss even more of a deplorable act on the part of the ex-employer) he has not been able to find a new job (the coronavirus pandemic likely has not been helping one bit either). Even worse is my father was still only a few years away from being able to retire when his old employer suddenly decided they did not need him anymore.

We have been living off of the money my father received from his severance for a while now, but it is close to drying up and it looks like our time at our house might be coming to an end unless something good happens to us. This is why I have decided to start this GoFundMe campaign, in hopes that some very kind souls out there will be willing to help two struggling individuals in their time of need. The reason for the amount being what it currently happens to be ($80000) are for the following reasons:

-To completely pay off the mortgage on the house so we will no longer need to worry about making monthly payments to the bank on the house.

With the debts cleared and my father and I having enough money to help cover living expenses while we wait for him to get disability, a huge amount of weight will be lifted from the both of us and we can live a nice peaceful life. I can only hope I did not start this campaign too late as the money will be needed before the end of August or September.

UPDATE: The goals of also needing money to help cover insurance payments and medical expenses has been removed due to anxiety caused by outside sources making me change the overall goal to a singular one rather than a goal that covers multiple objectives.
