Hi, I'm Lori.

I know people are tired of seeing how many problems I'm going through, but none are ever planned.

Ever since I had pneumonia, my immune system has gotten weak, and apparently I caught something, and I have gotten sick again, my blood pressure goes from sky high to bottomed out, my kidney function is Stage 4 disease now, and medication has not helped as of yet.

I have several appointments coming up to work on these issues, just not quick enough

My workplace has cut me down to less than 10 hours a week, on the most recent one, less than 8 hours for the entire week. I cannot survive on that... I'm trying my best not to ask for help.

I have an appointment with Social Security next week for application of Early Retirement and attempting for disability again since I'm not getting any hours at work to survive on, but I've been told that it could take a couple of months to start getting early retirement benefits once I sign up, and bills just won't wait.

I have lights that will be cut off if not paid next week (and I am on the PIPP plan but since I have a job, I still have to pay something on them), insurance and others won't wait.

Deena has a court date for disability in November, and she isn't able to work to help out, she wishes she could.

I am completely and totally out of options. I barely even have enough for gas to get to doctor appointments...

As much as I hate to ask, please, please considering helping me out to at least get a little bit caught up until I can get back on my feet. Please... I wouldn't ask if I wasn't desperate or had any other options, and prayers are always appreciated.

Hoping and praying things will get better after my early retirement kicks in...

Thank you for your time.
