Mystery back Injury Led to Job Loss: Need Support

Donation protected
As a lot of you know, I sustained some sort of back injury. I woke up one morning and had pain in my hip area. By the next day, walking was almost unbearable. For short lengths, I've been using crutches to walk. I am gonna be getting a wheelchair from my doctor. I currently have a borrowed one, but it's too small. Currently, 2/3 of my leg is numb and my knee gives out any time. I try to walk unaided, not to mention the extreme pain.

I've applied for Paid Leave Oregon, but my job terminated me shortly after. This has thrown a wrench into receiving it. While I wait for them to figure out what's going on, I have zero income. When I talked to them last week, they said it would be mid to end of September before anything was decided. That does nothing for my house payment that's due on the 16th of August. I've been able to cover bills up until now. I'm applying for energy assistance to cover my electric bill, but I'm seven hundred dollars short for my house payment.

I hate asking for help for myself. Asking for the rescue is hard enough. I will be contacting BOLI (Bureau of Labor and Industries). I've been off for ten weeks now. My second MRI is on August 24th (this has been ridiculously slow), and after that, there's still treatment. Who knows how long that'll take.

Besides this, I only have PayPal as Venmo and Cash App for the rescue. I do have Facebook Pay. Anything will help. I appreciate all of you.
