Struggling with Health, Facing Eviction

Hey, everyone.. I've been struggling for a long time and have been putting this off for far too long. I hate to be in the position where I'm forced to ask for help, but I fear that if I don't do this now, things will just get worse and I really have no way of dealing with this on my own.

For about the past year or so, my health has taken a dramatic turn. I was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes a few years ago, and despite my best efforts to get it under control, it's been almost impossible for me to do so. Because I can't afford the kind of diet I need in order to stay healthy, my blood sugar has a tendency to stay sky-high. I cannot gain weight to save my life, and am now under 100 pounds. My legs have become so weak that they can barely support my body weight and so walking for any extended period of time has become a major obstacle. I can hardly even walk up stairs at this point, and running is not something I can do at all. My legs will give out and I will fall.

I also deal with daily chronic pain in both my back and my legs, primarily lower back and right leg. This has left me unable to work, and I cannot maintain any kind of gainful employment. I lost a job that I love, and had been at for three years, because my health was affecting my work performance. I got a new job a couple months later and it required so much walking that I was usually unable to even finish a 6 hour shift. I love to work, and I love to be independent, and all of this has left me feeling like a failure, and has dramatically affected my mental health in negative ways.

I regained insurance around October and have been seeing a doctor, being sent for test after test to try and figure out what the root cause is for my health being in the state that it's in, and so far, I really have no answers. The major culprit, I guess, is malnutrition. But I have so many things going wrong all at once that malnutrition cannot account for all of my issues. And even with my insurance, I am left unable to cover the cost of my prescriptions because Diabetes is expensive..

Concerning my health issues, both physical and mental, along with the fact that employment is just something that remains off the table for me at the moment, I am about to lose my apartment at the end of this month. They'll start the eviction process within the next few days, and I'll be forced to go back to living in my car until I can figure out a way to turn everything around. My car that is currently broken down. So I'll need to get it fixed soon before I'm out on the streets in the middle of winter.

I know that the goal amount is pretty high, but by reaching it.. or even coming close.. I believe that it'll be enough to fix my car and aid me in affording my medicines and proper diet for the next couple of months as I work towards improving my health to a point where I can rejoin the workforce.

Anything you can donate would be greatly appreciated, even if it's only a dollar or two. This is just me, finally admitting that I can't do this on my own, and I desperately need help. I know times are tough for everyone right now, but as I said before, even a dollar or two could go a long way in helping me stay fed and medicated. Thank you for taking the time to read this rather extensive essay, and for keeping me in your thoughts.
