Hi, my name is Dan, here is my story. I have always been a public servant and have never asked for help, but with today's inflation and the expenses of starting over from scratch and trying to take care of the needs of your special needs child, there is not enough to cover things, when you are a blue-collar paycheck to paycheck worker with 2 jobs. I am a single dad trying to get through life with my special needs child. I say child, but she is 25. It has been a long hard road with Alyssia. She was born premature at 5lbs. We spent the better part of the first year in the hospital. We had stays, in the NICU and PICU. They told us she would not make it out of the hospital and to prepare ourselves for that potentially grave moment. She has had multiple surgeries; she did not learn to eat by her mouth until she was 5 years old. She had a G button, and all her feedings came through a pump and a tube directly into her stomach. She has 2 shunts in her brain and 1 in her lumber spine. She had to have rods and screws put in her back also. She has also been in 2 major car wrecks; one injured her head and the other fractured her tailbone. While she is 25 years old, she functions as an early teenager. She has comprehension and memory issues. She is week and has mobility issues. She is having seizures. She is on multiple medications; we have tried to get her on disability and been denied several times. With today's inflation and high premiums, the copays and prescriptions will wipe you out and not leave any funds for expensive procedures like MRI and EEG studies. She has difficulties in her normal daily life functions. She has issues with balance and mobility. She gets shaky and has severe anxiety and depression issues.
We also had a disastrous catastrophe in our apartment, we lost everything in our apartment, we were only able to salvage some of our clothes. We had to throw out all of our furniture and bedding. We ended up moving and trying to start over, a new set up with simple items and furnishings is an expensive endeavor.
