I was driving around in the RV I live in, minding my own business, when I had to go to the emergency room due to an asthma attack. I've started having asthma since moving to Montana. I was just going to get a nebulizer treatment and some prednisone and leave. As it turned out, I had multiple organ failure, too! Surprise! Heart, kidneys, lungs. So I've been in the hospital for six weeks! I'm so grateful that a local shelter, Cat's Meow and Hound Dog Hideaeay, took all of my five cats and two dogs to keep them safe for me. The hospital paid for one week of boarding them ... but I owe them $1500.

Since I can't walk right now. I need a new basic scooter ($1000) (my first one was vandalized) and walker ($100) a carrier on my RV ($300?), and handicapped bars and someone to install them. This all came at a time when I haven't received my Social Security payments for 5 or 6 months due to a direct deposit issue that I'm still struggling with every day.

It's hard for me to ask for help, let alone money, but I'm down to the wire and decided to give it a hail Mary shot. Thanks.
