about my DIRE LIFE-
Hey Everyone,
It's so Painful for me to Have to KEEP Asking for HELP...
But, I'm DESPERATE so, PLEASE PLEASE HELP ME!!
Sadly, my
Bad Health Situation is
Still the Same. I've had Only 79 Days Out since August 24th, 2022!
I've called North Suburban Cook County Call Center, Northwest Compass Connections for Homeless, Catholic Charities, the Village of Mount Prospect,
Elk Grove Township, and
I've Made So Many Phone Calls to my County Care Medicaid Insurance and to Several Doctors at RUSH Hospital and my Assigned Social Worker
That, By Now, I should have Already been Enrolled into Any and Every Illinois State Program!!
WHAT am I Not Doing? WHO can I CALL to Get HELP??
I am Still Not Enrolled in ANY Program
Other than the Illinois Food Stamps EBT Snap program or the Illinois's Health Insurance program!!
WHY can't I GET ACCESS to ANY Illinois financial, Meals on Wheels, Homecare, Caretaker, or ANY Programs that Could Give me the Assistance / HELP I need?
I'm beginning to "Drown" in Sadness and
I now have a Reasonable Fear of Losing Everything-
My 2 Washington Storage Units Need Payment for June, July, and August and that Owner is about to Schedule My Units for Sale!
On 8/3/23, the Final Order to EVICT me from my Mother's Townhouse Happened!
I have to VACATE it by December!
On 8/10/23,
the 1st EVICTION Hearing for my Mt Prospect Apartment Happened!
So, I have a Legitimate and reasonable Fear of being Homeless by the End of 2023!
I am Physically just Not Ok and I Wish PRAY I could just Suddenly Get Rid of my Overwhelming HEALTH Problems!
Though, Yesterday, 8/25/23,
Two very
KIND FRIENDS Paid my Verizon Phone Bill and a Partial $100 Payment to my WA storage lockers!
That's Why I STILL Need ALL of You; ALL of my Friends; I really NEED a Village to Help Me!
Because by Next Thursday, 8/31/23, I MUST Make another Full Payment of $200 just to STAY AFLOAT; Just to Try to Convince my WA Storage Locker's Owner Not to Schedule my Units for Sale!
PLEASE HELP ME,
I AM DESPERATE, PLEASE HELP!
Hey Everyone,
August 13th, 2023 Updates-
Sadly, my Health has
Not improved and
Now, I really Am in Need of Help For my August, September, October Bills.
I'm mostly stuck inside, homebound; very Weak with No Enegy,.
I'm struggling to Recover from having the Multiple Sclerosis with Reoccurring Mononucleosis and from the bad stomach virus I had from February to mid June!
I only got outside
4 Days in June, 5 Days in July; 1 August Day;
A Total of 71 Days Out since August 24th, 2022.
I've now become
"Heat Intolerant".
I used to be able to be outside in the Heat for Hours and Hours to deliver mail.
Yet, on July 19th, 21st, and August 3rd, after just an hour, I had so many Heat Strokes,
That Since July 24th, Those Heat Strokes caused me to be a whole Other Level of Being Sick where
I'm back to being
Very Stuck Inside with No Energy and now my
Brain is Cognitively, Neurofatigued, Not Ok!
I don't have a significant other or Kids to go run around for me and
I Need Help.
Since February, I've been Trying to get my New RUSH Hospital Medical Team to
Help me Get Any
Illinois Assistance like Homecare with a
Care Taker or Meals on Wheels.
Despite calling everyone, people have Only Listened to me Talk on and on and On yet, there's been
No Action to get me the real Assistance that I need.
It SUCKS when
I'm Only 50 and I'm Trapped in Body that Needs Assistance like a 75 or 80 year old needs!
So, I am Not going to Be Ok for August or September Financial Bills.
With Major Catastrophes like the Maui Fire with its Sad Losses of Life and destruction,
I feel Even Worse to Have to ASK for Everyones Financial Help.
I'm just No Where out of the woods yet.
I am very Thankful and Appreciative for the $1871 mostly Raised by my Amazing
Niles West High School Classmates and Alumni.
They Kept me from Losing Everything in June and July and
I Used Every penny of that $1871 to pay down my bills from March, April May, and part of June.
Now, I Need Help with paying down June and July's Washington Storage Lockers and August's Bills.
Since October 2022, I've been Asking and Applying for Help so,
I Pray that by September / October of 2023,
I can finally Get Government Assistance like SSI and Illinois Assistance Programs!
Please
HELP me with Anything you can...
Even $10 or $20 will BE More than What I'll have in a week from now...
July 13th Updates
Hey Everyone,
PLEASE Help Me.
Right Now, ANY Amount Will Help...
Unfortunately,
I STILL have Severe Ongoing Medical Problems with Non-Stop Chronic Fatigue from my Multiple Sclerosis,
Re-Occurring Mononucleosis, Fibramyolga and I keep Staying Sick from every cold, flu, and stomach bug.
I've only gotten out a Total of 65 days since August 24th, 2022!
That's really How Bad my Health is...
So, I'm still Unable to work or make Any money,
I have Major July Bills that Must be Paid by July 20th
like my Car Insurance policy that will Be Terminated on July 20th IF I don't pay $320 for June and July.
I also have to pay for
2 Storage Lockers in Washington because in December of 2022,
I Lost my Apartment so,
I put my Important property into the
2 Lockers to save it.
I've been unable to make full payments For Them for over 3 months so, Now, IF I don't make one complete Full Payment of $235 and $260,
I could Lose All of It as They could Schedule my Units For Sale at Anytime now.
Getting Financial Help from the Few Funded Social Organizations in the Northern Chicago Suburbs has been Painfully Slow...
There are So Few Funded Organizations Outside of Chicago so Funding is almost Non-existent where I live.
Yesterday, I Finally got some Help from my Local Government!
I contacted the
Village of Mount Prospect, IL Social Worker in Their Financial Assistance Department.
She Quickly Got me Approved to Pay my COMED Electric Power Utility Bill and THEY Prevented it from Being Disconnected Today, on 7/13/23!
THAT was the First Miracle of the Year 2023 for me.
Unfortunately, my Appeal for my Denied (SSI) Social Security Income Disability Claim is taking way too long and I am Not getting Any Other Income or Assistance.
I'm About to Lose my Washington Property that I wish I had to use right now.
And I'm about to Lose my Car Insurance!
So, ANY little BIT-
Even $5, $10 or $20 from AS MANY PEOPLE as Possible Will Add and CAN
Help me Now.
Sorry to keep asking but PLEASE Help me,
Original Post Below [
Hi Everyone, my name is Elissa LeBoy and Sadly, I really have No Choice or Options Left but to Ask Everyone or Anyone that could Help me to
Please Help Me Pay This Month and Next Months Bills...
For the Past Year,
Serious Medical Health Problems like my (MS) Multiple Sclerosis that I've had for 10 years with a new This year Fibramyolga diagnosis and then, since 1993, I keep having Reoccurring Mononucleosis yet as I get older though 50 is not old,
Since 2019, I've been getting every cold, COVID-19 strain, flu, or stomach bug that's been out there and it's been making me worse, worse, worse further Declined.
My Many
Multiple Medical Conditions cause me to have Chronic Fatigue that is Continuous, Severe, and Debilitating.
My Life has just Not been the same after catching COVID-19 Twice in 2019 and from 5/8 to 5/14/21,
I Almost Lost my Life to COVID-19!
I just can't seem to fight anything off and I have Tried Everything from eating healthy food to taking the needed Vitamins or health supplements just to Try and Build a Normal immune system yet,
I have stayed mostly Sick with No Energy.
Back in May 2021, what Saved my Life becoming lost to COVID-19, was the Hospital giving me a Bag of a Stranger's Donated Plasma that Contained the COVID-19 Antibodies and That Saved my Life.
I was very Thankful So Appreciative when my Life was Saved yet, that was
2 Years ago and Time just keeps passing by so Quickly...
I have become worse and worse and More Medically Debilitated
So, mentally, it's been getting harder and harder for me to Just Be Ok with my Life the Way it is right now...
Especially because
I just keep staying Sick All the Time where I Can't Fix Anything or Be Able to physically Work
To Find, have, Get Financial Solutions so, I can Just Take Care of myself or ALL of Life's responsibilities...
My Severe Chronic Fatigue is So Continual and Debilitating that it can and has Felt Emotionally Overwhelming almost Suffocating..
Yet, That is When and WHY I reach out to Talk to someone to Get Help by using my cell phone and
At least Just Make the Calls to Every Illinois Socialwork like Organization or the New RUSH Doctors Team that I'm trying to build
Just to Try and Get Any and ALL the Help I can get from Illinois or Cook County County.
What I need the Most is a Disability Housing Voucher and Those Resources I Urgently need now..
The Worst Days are when my Energy is so Below Zero that
often, I am so Physically and Cognitively Annilated that my Body actually shuts down and makes me Sleep all day!
My Better days are when I able to make it to the Couch and then, reach out by Making the many Calls to Cook County or Illinois Organizations, or my New RUSH Hospital Team until 5 PM.
I So Wish I could Just Be physically healthy again or at least have some Normal energy again.
IF I could Just have energy, I'd be able to Work Again.
Yet, Sadly, This Year, I'm Not getting better or Just Bouncing Back.
Instead, I've Only been getting Worse and Worse so,
Will I or could I Get Better or Fix my Medical Problems?
Well, sadly, That is Not Happening Now Overnight, or Soon enough... which is Why, I am Left with No Options but to Ask Everyone to Financially Help me even if just a little.
What I would do to Just Be Healthy and Normal Again...
I Chock up and bawl when I just think about that...
Sadly, I have Wasted a lot of Energy I don't have by having those feelings, thoughts, or Emotions.
I have even Prayed with Faith to have Good Health. That has Not Given my Health Back...
I also deal with Painful Headaches from my Multiple Sclerosis and that can suddenly or unexpectedly Cause Annilation Fatique and make me sleep all day!
No, I'm Not getting Disability. I have No Sources of Income.
I Applied for it. On May 16th, I was Denied. Now, I have to do the Appeal Process which is further Delaying me getting the Financial Help that I need.
I have No Children or Significant Partner to financially rescue me.
ALL I have are some individual friends and family members who Together Collectively Might be able to Financially Help me for a few months.
I can't go on like this so I've been Desperately Trying to Find Medical, Legal, and Financial Advocates that can Urgently Help me get ALL EVERY Resource a typical elderly 65 or older perspn has access to FOR that is WHAT I NEED.
When I was 17, I was the Best Runner in This Area so, I would Never have thought my life could become This Way-
Now, I'm Only 50 so,
I should Not be So Sick All the time!
Yet, in most ways, my Body is Just as Debilitating as someone Stuck in a Nursing home!
I'm Only 50, so, I can't get access;
I'm disqualified from Housing for over 55 or 65.
My Only Safety Net, was my 79 year old Mother, the Only person able to Completely Financially Take care of me until September of 2022 when, Her Family Stopped Her from being able to continue to help me.
Now, I have to ASK ALL of You, HERE on my Facebook Social Media Page For $$$ Help so, Here I Am...
Please Help Me.
Thank You for Reading about my Medically Miserable, doom and gloom life. I'm Sorry it's so Bad.
