Hi. My name is Jason, and I'm nearly out of medicine and food for myself and my dogs.
My mother passed away from ovarian cancer last year and things have gotten so much worse since. I'm unemployed and uninsured. I'm on no assistance programs because I'm having issues with my identification and nobody cares. I'm almost out of my medication. My dogs haven't seen a vet this year. I have less than $60 in the bank. I have no transportation.
My only sibling is dead, my father won't talk to me because supporting my mother during their divorce meant to him that I took her side, and the three blood relatives I have are states away and are dealing with their own healthcare crises.
My credit cards are maxed out, my anxiety disorder has exploded into full-blown agoraphobia and I literally can't leave my neighborhood without a panic attack, and I'm pretty sure I have undiagnosed depression and/or ADHD and/or something else. Sometimes I don't eat because I feel like I don't deserve to, though that's honestly been a blessing lately as the pantry gets closer to empty.
I'm struggling to provide for the two dogs I inherited from my mom, Charlie and Grace, whom I love dearly and who keep me sane. The doctor's office I've gone to my entire adult life doesn't care that I can no longer afford the $130 visits or the cab ride there. My stepdad had to move to an assisted care home this last spring and I haven't been able to afford trash or recycling services without him.
I'm constantly afraid. I need so many different kinds of help and I just don't know where to start. Anything you could do would mean the world to me.
A donation today would be used for dog food first. I still have some dried beans and rice, so I'm not worried about food for myself at the moment. Then I would make a telehealth appointment with a new doctor's office to get more of my medication. Anything after that will go towards food, my $10,000+ credit card debt, veterinary care, and bills. I'm also going to have to pay for some legal fees in the future, but thankfully that's not an immediate concern. I'm just being honest.
If you read all this, know that I appreciate your time, and I sincerely hope you have a good day.
