My name is Darren.

i was born with VATERS syndrome.

I'm 34 and currently in CKD stage five.

I've been on dialysis for 6 years, currently going 5x a week.

Everybody knows me as a light hearted fool and I could’ve easily made this somewhat funny but it’s really a serious matter so I’m trying to keep it as real as I can.

I was on SSI, and as of 9/26, it has ended due to overpayment…

I did not start this so I could pay it back, I can do that once the appeal goes through or I apply for ssi again so please do not think that’s where it’s going… Needless to say my anxiety is on high alert and blood pressure already sky high…

I cannot work even though I try and try to stay in the race; companies will not have me. It is against everything I am to be doing this, but my SSI was my all... medical bills, phone, insurance, gas, rent, helping people in need (I have no children), and a plethora of other personal things I have to attend to monthly... so please, if you can find it in your heart to help me out just until I get this appealed or back on track, I will be beyond grateful.

Please.

I have the appeal already in motion, so please do not think I'm sitting idly by.

Thank you for your time, I know it's precious.
