Help Me Get Through The Next Month

Donation protected
Hi, everyone who knows me calls me Mo.  I am the person to go to when you need help, as I am always trying to go the extra mile in order to help someone out.  I've never made a lot of money.  I can't really work like regular people do because I have have Bipolar II Disorder, PTSD, and Panic Disorder.  It effects my ability to concentrate, process instructions, and to complete tasks in a timely manner.  I also have diabetes, non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), and other health issues such as frequent tachycardia that make it hard for me to do a lot of work without becoming fatiuged very easily.

I was on SSDI for about 13 months.  During this time I found a manufacturing job that helped me be able to work full time.  Unfortunately, I became sick, most likely an allergy to a fragrence componant used to make the product.  I stubbornly tried to continue working and because of this, when it not longer became possible for me to work at this factory, I was considered to be "rehabilitated" and I lost my SSDI.  This was back in June.  I wasn't too concerned then since I still had some savings.  Since then, I've only had ONE good paying short term project.  And my savings have run out.

This past month, my roommates left.  I do have someone that says they will move in, but they have yet to commit to a move in date.  I am worried that after this month I will be homeless, especially if I have to cover my entire rent myself.  I have started working as a Substitute Teacher in my local school district and it is bringing in some money but it won't be enough to cover all my expenses.  I've also gone back to school. 

I need to be able to go to the doctor's, but I don't have insurance so I pay for everything out of pocket.  Sometimes the medications they want me to try can be expensive.  I try to go to Wal-Mart but sometimes I don't have the energy and have to go to Walgreens, which ends up costing more.

The breakdown of my expenses are the following:
$1,090 - Rent
$80-100 - Power
$300 - Personal/Medical expenses (Medications)

The above does not include gas to get to work and my credit card debt.  I also do not buy food unless I have extra money.  I usually am able to go grocery shopping once a month, and I sometimes eat a single meal a day.  I have a lot of food intolerences, and it seems to always be changing what my body will tolerate.  So it's almost always a hit or miss when I shop if I can eat what I buy, and most times I just eat it anyway and deal with being sick.

All money donated will go ONLY to the above expenses.  If there is any extra money, I would love to be able to go grocery shopping.  I am trying really hard to find employment at a place that understands my health situation, my doctor thinks I should just go on welfare at this point.  I am stubbornly refusing to do that at this point.

All amounts are significant, and if you can't donate, please share.
