Help For Ongoing Health Struggle
Donation protected
As many of you who know me and are close to me, know I suffer from severe auto immune disease and disorders, chronic pain, ankylosing spondylitis, bone and joint issues, sjogrens disease, Crohn’s disease and so forth, the list goes on. It’s been an ongoing struggle for years and things have kinda hit rock bottom for me as of right now, and I could genuinely use some help. I hate asking but I’m honestly desperate. I’m in the process of getting and applying for temporary assistance, and SSDI. Anyhow applying for SSDI and any and all assistance I can get. But these things do take time, sometimes too long. And for some too late…Im not able to work full time and any job I do have would have to be extremely flexible and also understanding. And those jobs don’t come easy these day. But unfortunately even if work like that came along for me, which would be godsend, right now even if I could, I’m legally not allowed. Not even to get by long enough till I can hopefully most likely get approved for assistance, because SSDI will not help me or anyone for the matter with future expenses due to health if you work during the application process. It’s not a good feeling wondering if you’re going to have a place to live. Gives you a totally different perspective on life. I am seeing now how many people become homeless and end up on the streets. Update: finally had my first official meeting with ssdi and they have as much information as I could give them over a 2+hr long call. And it will take 5-6 months to get an approval…. I quite literally could be homeless in 6 months or less. Our system is so corrupt it just throws people away. Being on a month to month lease if I can’t pay my rent, nys law states that if you don’t have an actual lease that you can be given a 30 day eviction notice, or sooner to vacate the premises. I’m really hoping to avoid that. If it was just me I’d be fine, I’d live in my little Corolla. I am unfortunately dealing with and am in the middle of a few new health issues at the moment, and with process of waiting to get some more testing for my brain (EEG) since I’ve been having severe neurological issues. And also getting in with New York oncology and hematology for a second oppinion. Don’t much like the first doctor. To anyone at all who could help at this time, it would be extremely and genuinely appreciated! And thank you to all of those who have been reaching out checking on me, offering to help clean for me and just anything, you’re all so kind and sweet and I love you all! My heart is already so full with the kindness and compassion I’ve been shown. A good lot of you all have been here with me through quite a bit of this health journey. I love you all tremendously. Also if you can share that would be helpful too as well.
