Widower Battling Health and Financial Woes
***UPDATE: 3/17/25
had an MRI done of my left hip area last Friday.
I saw my Dr today and the scan showed a tear in hip labrum and weathering of the socket. Hip surgery is my only solution. but like any of the other surgeries my A1C has to be at a 6. also found that I have tendinitis in both hamstrings, arthritis in my joints and IT band sydrome.
I could really use a miracle and some help right about now. please share this to anyone and you can. thank you
Update** 2/7/2025
As of a week ago, ive been denied my SSDI benefits for the 2nd time. Now, i wait for a hearing date, which can be a YEAR out. I will not be able to make it through the year financially or mentally. Im at a loss. Physically, I just cant do what I use too. Sitting, standing or walking even a short time is excruciating. Please, please pass this to anyone that can help out. Much appreciated.

ive made it half way to my goal, thanks to an extremly generous donation to help tackle a few of my past due bills. i could still use some help. $20 here, $10 there. any bit puts gas in my truck to get to my appts etc and also for other personal toileries.
thank you to all

** December 3 2024, i received my disabled parking placard.
I applied for SSDI in sept of 2023. Was denied in February of 2024. Appealed in April and as of The end of July, they had done nothing with my case per receptionist at their office. I hired a lawyer in August and as of yesterday December 9th 2024, the lawyers finally got "all" my information sent over to Social security administration. Im broke. I have no income. I cant sit longer than 10mins. Cant stand for more than 5mins. Walking is painful and require assistance like a cart or cane when going out.
Ive run out of anything of value to sell. I even had to sell tools that i "use" just to put gas in my truck. I have no and cant get credit cards to help. Cant get any loans. No income and I have crap credit.
Ive "borrowed" from all that can help. I dont qualify for any "cash" assistance through local programs. I do currently have SNAP benefits, LIEAP helping w power bill and I "work" for my rent.
Im looking for help to cover past due phone bill and maybe future bill. Like most everyone, i cant afford to have my phone shut off. I have a Dexcom G7 that monitors my blood sugars and need the app to help manage that. Also need help with internet bill that im behind on.
I have a loan with the small business administration that im behind on.
Needing gas money for truck.
Along with personal stuff like TP, kleenex, Deodorant and distilled water for my cpap machine
I hope someone or anyone can help. Anything helps. Im out of options and ssdi wont get here soon enough. Thank you for reading this and appreciate any and all help.
I have venmo as well.
