Hi. I am a 27 year old mother of 3. I have always done well in school and worked hard despite chronic depression and other issues. I have never had a driver's liscense due to the fear of getting in an accident because of the medications I take.To top it off I just got diagnosed with Narcolepsy this Spring. Despite my problems I have always tried to work hard and be as independant as possible. I was in school for nursing while working part time as a C.N.A. Although I paid my own family members to drive me to and from work with money I didn't have they got sick of it and stopped even though I would say sorry and always make it up to them some how by cooking or cleaning. I seriously hate to ask or bother people with my problems but I am so desperate I think this site (hopefully is God's Divine Hand reaching out to me.) I was just recently employed at a daycare center down the street that was in walking distance and it was nice because I could bring my kids there ,needless to say my narcolepsy and that job did not make a good combination and I was falling asleep standing up and sent home constantly. I do not want to get disability or anthing like that what I need is advice or help ora miracle because I'm raising 3 kids, family has the means to help but won't , i can't get loans because my credit is shot due to the fact my mother put bills in my name when I was a minor. All my utilities except water is going to get shut off and I will probably be evicted out on the streets. My ex-husband fled to NewFoundland to avoid child support and is working for cash. I have 0 help there are no buslines by me I cannot work,go to school,and raise 3 kids single with no job and Narcolepsy. The one person that was always there for me (grandma Olson) passed away a few years ago. I am so scared and so desperate I pay every night that if something would happen to change my life so I can give my children a stable future I would help others and people who are desperate. I am a giving person as much as I can be with what I have. I have never been in trouble with the law or harmed anyone..I just don't unerstand. I am venting right now so those who have been patient God Bless You! If I got donations of atleast 2.00 from people who can understand I would be so grateful. I am so worn out-need a break from hecticness some day.
So this is the issue. Ok, there are alternatives you are now eligable for. As a single mother you can apply for Section 8 to pay your rent. Medicaid will provide medical coverage for you and the children. For now explain to your doctor how overwhelming it is to care for the children, yourself and trying to work. Commit to them putting your focus on taking care of yourself and your children and let him/her put you on leave indefinately. If they are prepared to call it a permanant disability take that. It's a process so prepare to be patient but consistant and determined. It's not easy and it seems like a lot, however it is a straight forward and simple process. Go online to the Social Security Administration and apply for benefits. You can apply for SSI and SSDI with the same application. Do the whole thing. There is a medical history form that is there to be done first. It's lengthy but doing it right makes all the difference in how your case will go. Prelude your recent diagnosis by providing a clear past history of health. Provide your pediatrician(s) while growing up and any doctors you have gone to as an adult. Then contrast that with your recent medical issues leading up to your diagnosis. Provide names and #'s of all physicians involved up to the present. Save a copy of the online medical form because you will pretty much duplicate it in certain sections of the online application for the SSI & SSDI benefits. I am prepared to walk you through this if you really want the help you need and willing to do what you need to do to get it.
