Soon to be Homeless

My name is Chris and I am disabled. 3 1/2 years ago, I suffered a work related injury, and as of this time, I have never received proper medical treatment. Because of this, I've lost my job, my home, my car, and any resemblance of my life.

I was forced to move back home with my Mother and her new Husband. I tried to get on Social Security, but was denied several times. My family doesn't understand what I'm going through, and because of that, have grown frustrated with my inability to do anything around the house or hold down a job.

The one thing I can do is write. Since my disability, I have released 3 books, but the writing world is highly competitive, and it takes time to build yourself up.

My family is reaching a point where they want me to leave. They know I have nowhere to go, but they can only support me for so long. They also have difficulty understanding my disability, and have suggested that I might be faking it.

It may be next week or 3 months from now, but eventually, they will have me leave. I want to take this time now to prepare. It's not that I want to be homeless, I just face the reality that it will very likely happen.

Primarily, I need a laptop. While I would be homeless, I could still work on my writing career, whether releasing books or doing articles. It might sound frivilous, but I am confident if I had another year, I could make something of myself as a writer.

With $1000, I can get a couple of different things, including a laptop, PO Box, a bag, a tent, and several other things that can aide me while on the streets. If I can raise more than this, I may be able to get some help with treating my disability.

I know a laptop seems like I'm asking for a luxury item, but this will be what helps me come back from being on the streets, since I wouldn't be able to do a normal job. Not that I don't want to, but that I can't work a normal job.

Being homeless is not fun and something that gives me cause for concern. For that, I come into this with a plan, and will do whatever I can not to remain homeless for very long.

Any help you can give will be appreciated.

FAQ
Q: How could you get denied so many times for Social Security if you're disabled?
A: You would think if I were truly disabled, then I would have gotten on it. Unfortunately, SSDI has a nasty habit of denying a majority of people. Partially because so many in the past have abused the system.

It's difficult to prove my disability. No doctor wants to state I'm disabled, because it opens them up to a lot of litigation. It's also that very few doctors understand Post Concussion Syndrome.

No Lawyer will take my case without a doctor saying I'm disabled. Without a lawyer, I can't get SSDI to accept me. It's a catch-22.

Q: Why do you have to be homeless, don't you have anywhere else to go? Friends? Family?
I wish I did. After I first got diagnoised with PCS, everyone I ever knew stopped talking to me. I realized that our friendship was only to their convience. So long as I was where they wanted me to be, I was their friend. Didn't work the other way.

I have no other family that can really take me. I'm not close with any of them. My Mother and her Husband took me in out of obligation, not really out of concern. They expected me to get better on their own and just provided a roof over my head and food. I can't really complain.

There is literally no one else I know that could help me. Most friends online are not able to take me in. I can't work and I can't do much around the house. Who wants that?

Q: Why are your parents doing this?
A: First, I hold nothing against my family for doing this. They have allowed me to live in their home for roughly 2 years. There is only so much anyone can do for me. I can't very well live with them forever. They have their own lives. A parent should only take care of their child for so long and then it is up to the child to care for themselves.

I believe that my family is frustrated with me. I can't work, I get no financial support, I don't pay rent, I can't do household chores to their satisfaction.

Ultimately, my family doesn't understand anything about my disability, despite me explaining it to me. They have hinted that they believe I'm faking it.

Q: When will you be homeless?
A: Last week my mother told me they would talk to me and that her husband wants me to leave. That conversation hasn't happened yet. They have spoken to me before about it in the past, stating that if I didn't i
