I'm a widowed mother of one, a seventeen year old named Mary. She's an amazing help around the house, an incredible student, and overall a great being. She's the joy of my life, yet I have nothing to give to her to award her for being so.

I'm currently looking for help financing my bills and my daugthers schooling. I'd love to get her a prom dress, but I can't afford one because I'm in so much debt. I feel horrible that I can't help her, but I'm disabled from a car accident and cannot work. We live social security check to social security check, and this is my last hope.

Anyone who can help please, email me at dorthey12308@yahoo.com. If necessary, we'll pay you back; anything.

Thank you,

Dorthey and Mary

Daytona Beach, Florida
I am so tired. I have had such a horrible life, I wouldn't wish it on anyone. I am 34 but I feel like I'm 94. I have been on Social Security Disability. I suffer from Major Depression, General Anxiety Disorder, Diabetes, Hypothyroidism, Anemia, Sleep Apnea, High Cholesterol, Diabetes Retinopathy, Infertility and Advance Periodontal disease. I had a stroke a year ago, the side effects are some stiffness in my thigh and short term memory loss. I've been told I will be completely blind in the next couple of years from the retinopathy. I know that things could be worse. I was told I will not receive additional benefits when it does happen. Social security isn't enough to even cover rent. I have recently gotten divorced and now I am being evicted by my ex husband. My parents are both deceased and I don't have any siblings. I did not know my Mother or her family, Both of my parents died when I was young. The only family members I do have are struggling themselves. I slept in my car three years ago, when I had no place to stay. I've applied for section 8 housing but I've been told since I don't have any children, the wait is three years. I can't afford to live anymore. I don't make enough money to qualify for low income housing. I am so sad and I keep getting the run around from agencies. I really need help. I hope there are some resources available to help me. Please email me if you know of anyone able to help.

Thank you!

What to write?  Its hard to get started.  I am retired due to a disability.  I have some experience dealing with Social Security bureaucrats.  I am looking for information about Federal, State, and Local Grants. I am not looking to scam or harm anyone.  Hopefully, I will find some others who are interested in the same opportunities.  Maybe we can help each other.  Sorry if this seems a little corny.  Its my first blog.

Divorced mom of 2 of the most awesome children anyone could dream up!  Diagnosed with liver disease in 2000 and separated a year later, I've been working very hard to learn different ways to take care of myself and keep myself as well and functional as possible while raising my children to be strong, independent individuals.

I hate asking anyone for help and as wealthy as my family are, they will not do anything for anyone.  I have a sister that donates thousands of dollars to help others, but will not help family, a dad that only thinks he has one daughter when he has 3 and grandparents and aunts and uncles who donate scholarships and oodles of money to others, but just don't value family (unless, of course, you're as wealthy as them and want to take them to brunch).  It's as if it's all about clout, not the actual giving.  When I was well, I helped so many people.  I let people live in my home, helped people get off drugs, gave food and money.  I helped people with Christmas gifts for their children.  I volunteered and donated my time for people not even looking for volunteers.  I've always tried to help the people around me.  I have always been the one people call at 3am when they're upset or been through a loss.  Why is it that when my life turns upside-down, everyone who called themselves a friend disappears?

I worked very hard after high school to put myself through college and worked my way up the ladder in business to a management lvl position in a medical clinic.  When they found out I was sick, they attempted to force my resignation, than when I refused, they called me into a room with 6 bosses and a company attorney and fired me.  I had never even missed a day of work.  That was 3 years ago and since, cannot find a position that I can actually function with.  Who wants an employee that comes in late or has to leave early or just has to stop working every so often to rest?  Who wants an employee that can do the work some days and not others?  I type 80 wpm, but only for a couple hours a day, than my fingers hurt too badly.  I have the ability to do so much, but can't.  It's so frustrating.  And if I do feel good and go out on a limb and do extra while I can, than I suffer so badly later for it and can't even move the part of my body I used.  Sometimes it's non-stop pain, sometimes it's intermittant, but the fatigue and mood swings are intense all the time.

Since my initial dx of liver disease in 2000, I have also been diagnosed with Hashimoto's thyroid disease, seronegative arthritis, fibromyalgia, bp disorder and a list of other nasties that alone would put any normal person in bed.  I'm not quite sure of the bp disorder.  I think my mood swings are due to the fact that I'm so sick all the time....not some organic or chemical illness.  I've been through hell and had to find ways to deal with my emotional state.  I don't want to be down, so I think I try and "act as if" I'm okay, but than when I can't, I appear to be having mood swings. 

But I have children that need me.  Unfortunately, at 12 and 15, I feel like I need them more now.  They are amazing.  My daughter is a gymnast and cheerleader with aspirations to be a pediatrician someday.  My son is in ROTC, football and German club and is just an amazing chef!

I continue to try to work.  The position I currently have started at 40 hrs a week and has dwindled to 16 hrs now.  I do merchandising which allows me to schedule myself and work at my own pace.  Sometimes, even skimping by doing very little.  The job is a blessing, although I'm able to work so little now that it doesn't help much anymore.  I'm becoming scared.  I've even had this boss tell me to "take some time off" recently, which in my experience means something more like, we're getting ready to fire you.

My doctors don't want me to work at all, but I always joke "Doc, we live in different worlds" when they tell me to quit and apply for SSI.  I know the drill with Social Security.  You apply, get denied and than fight tooth and nail for however long until you have nothing left but the shoes on your feet.  Even then, you're lucky to be considered disabled.

I'm so sick all the time.  I try to explain to people the feeling of having the worst flu and hangover all in one every single day.  I feel like I have no where to turn.  I'm scared to lose my children if I can't afford to take care of them.  As it is, I'm so far in debt from medical bills, I couldn't get help from anywhere if I tried, and there are warrants out for my arrest because I can't pay medical bills or make it to the hearings.  Even if I could make it to those hearings I probably wouldn't....Why?? So they can garnish the little bit of money I do have coming in?!!!  Who came up with the law that if you can't pay, you either come to court to allow garnishment, or go to jail for contempt and have to pay the amount of the bill to get out???  It's ridiculous. If I could pay my bills I would.  I did when I could.  I've never even had a credit card.  I don't abuse credit.   

I'm currently fighting for disability Medicaid to pay my medical bills and prescriptions.  I try to explain that without my medications, I can't work, but without Medicaid I can't get my medication and see my doctor, but it doesn't work like that.  I suppose they will end up reevaluating me when I'm totally incapacitated and homeless because that's where it appears to be going.  If I end up denied, the medical care will cease and I will not be able to function at all.

I'm really scared and desperate.  I need help, but I don't even know where to turn anymore.  I have approximately 6 hours a day where I feel semi-normal.  I still have the pain and fatigue, but I can work through it.  Usually about 3 hours in the morning and 3 in the later afternoon, than I'm done.  My body wakes me up between 4 and 5am and I'm done by noon.  Like I'm 85, not 35. 

If I can't take care of my children and have to live in agony constantly, what's the point to living at all?  My children are my life.  I can deal with being sick if I have their smiles to drive me on.  I'm so tired.  I'm just so tired and I can't do this anymore.  In my eyes, family is all there is.  If I can't have mine, than what's the point?

Legal help?  Financial help?  It all seems so temporary, but what else is there?  Like a temporary fix to a permanent, ongoing problem.  I'm beginning to understand why people went to Dr. Kevorkian.  Quality of life is everything and when the scale of suffering tips too far on the side of agony and less and less on the side of joy, what's left?

So whatever help can be given, please, please think of us.  We are grateful for anything and everything. 

 

No Insurance For Your Children? A federal/state program can help!

If you are uninsured and are unable to afford coverage for your family, you may be able to qualify under your state's CHIP program. This is a program specifically designed to cover uninsured children in most states of the USA. It is a combined federal and state program. As I understand it, there are no pre-existing condition exclusions under the programs, so your children could continue to receive treatments and they would be covered by CHIP. You might want to check out the following link that describes CHIP: http://www.cms.hhs.gov/home/sc hip.asp

You can then call the Dept of Insurance for your state and see what they have to offer (What state are you in?).

Decent Pay For People In the Philadelphia Metro Area

I know of a money-making opportunity for people in the Philadelphia Metro Area..  I know it's for real because I do it!  You can make $11 per hour as a  call center representative.  You just need to have an Accident & Health Insurance License in PA, speak clearly and have basic computer skills.  Licensing is not a big deal, you have to take a course and a test. I believe that I paid around $300 all inclusive.  They provide training, additional state lisences and Contining Education at no cost. You work with Seniors, helping them out with their Medicare.  The job is in Blue Bell PA. They are VERY flexible about hours and are open from 8am-10pm.

Email me if you want to know more.

First of all they CANNOT take your SSD - NOR can they THREATEN To take it either! What they are doing is ILLEGAL. I don't care if they are from the VA or Timbuktu - you have rights. The next time they try that crap take their name, number and any other info you can get and call the state atty general and blow them in. You are protected BY LAW not only as a VET, but also as a citizen, and you are covered by the Social Security Act, the Fair debt collection practice act (FDCPA) and Mental Health laws. I am including some links for organizations that may help advocate for you.

Hi, my husband & I live in OHIO. We have no children as of yet, but are preparing to become foster/adoptive parents. I am very into animal rights.Speaking up for those with no voice is my passion. We are both on permanent SS Disability. We live in a mobile home right now, but are trying to move closer to my family. Our mobile home has a ramp, but is not totally wheelchair accessible. So we are waiting to adopt until we move because I have a hard time getting out of it by myself, let alone a child. My husband helps my parents alot with things they have a hard time with. ( taking out garbage, mowing the lawn, running the sweeper, taking them to the doctor) So we need to be closer to their house. We found an accessible home  5 minutes from them. The landlord will hold the house until the first of the month & we need to sell the trailer to be able to pay the security deposit. So we have 12 days to either sell the trailer or come up with the security deposit, I am looking for an organization who will help us pay the deposit. ANY ADVICE WILL BE APPRECIATED & VALUED. Their are too many things that are way to difficult for me in our trailer, & an accessible house that allows animals that is not to expensive is hard to find, we cannot pass up this opportunity. It sounds like I feel sorry for myself, which I don't.Everyone goes thru hard times which make their strength & faith stronger. I thank God for what we have. I'm not looking for a hand-out, just a helping hand. ANY ADVICE?

Seeking disability from Social Security? Read this article...!

I am tempted to quote most of the article (from today's New York Times)... here are just a few snippets:

"Steadily lengthening delays in the resolution of Social Security disability claims have left hundreds of thousands of people in a kind of purgatory, now waiting as long as three years for a decision.

Two-thirds of those who appeal an initial rejection eventually win their cases." (bolded by me)

"But in the meantime, more and more people have lost their homes, declared bankruptcy or even died while awaiting an appeals hearing...

Of the roughly 2.5 million disability applicants each year now, about two-thirds are turned down initially by state agencies, which make decisions with federal oversight based on paper records but no face-to-face interview. Most of those who are refused give up at that point or after a failed request for local reconsideration.

But of the more than 575,000 who go on to file appeals — putting them in the vast line for a hearing before a special federal judge — two-thirds eventually win a reversal."

I am new here but have been through a lot in my life and have had many chances to learn how to obtain help. I hope to be able to pass this help on to others through this site. I have worked for Social Security, mental health, have some legal training, social service training and in touch with many outside public services for help within the state of Michigan. I have only gained all this knowledge because of my needs and the lack of money to hire people to help me or lack of people in area with know how to help. I am not trying to come off as a person who knows it all I just want to be able to help others to not have to go through what I have had to over many years with many agencies. You have to become a pushy person sometimes on your own behalf to get anywhere!!!! I hope to be able to talk with others pass information on and to learn new.

I am at this time a volunteer for several agencies so have some access to resourches to help in some situations.

I am a 47 year old man. I used to be a truck driver. My wife is 58 years old and worked as an administrative assistant. We are both disabled. My wife suffers from kidney failure. She had a transplant that ended up failing and is back on dialysis. We have been married 14 years.

An accident involving a drunk driver started the chronic pain conditions I now suffer. I have fibromyalgia, chronic pain syndrome, arthritis, myofacial pain symdrome, chronic insomnia and a host of other problems.

My wife collects regular social security  disability. I only get SSI. Someone between my mail box and social security office "lost " my file for 9 months.  Combined we still make less than a thousand a month. Our bills are over a thousand $ a month.

We are behind on rent, electric, Car insurance, cable and telephone. We have shut off notices. They all call us so often I want to scream. The van we drive is a 95 ford aerostar that is falling apart. We need tires and engine work done so we can keep the car running. My wife needs that van to get back and forth from dialysis. We have no public transportation in our area. We both need cloths desperately. Neither of us has bought a xmas, birthday, anniversary present in 4 years. W have exhausted our options for assistance from churches etc. We are about to get evicted because of the rent and I really don't want to be homeless again. Did it once , didn't like it.

Please help us any way you can

For everyone fighting for their SOCIAL SECURITY DISABILITY

A very Special thank you to soulight for passing this information along! This site has a ton of information and links ( not just disability related either! ) Please take the time to check out this site below - and again - thank you to soulight for passing this information along!

On a related note - Please Keep Soulight in your thoughts and prayers - her disability hearing is coming up February 12th - after 3 years of waiting! She needs this to happen for her! Please, keep her in mind and that she gets approved for her disability. 

 

The Social Security Disability Coalition offers information and support with a focus on reforming the Social Security Disability System. We continually collect information related to the protocols used by the Social Security Disability Insurance program. We collect this information to search for systematic patterns in those protocols, and or arbitrary actions, that cause one of our frailest populations, the disabled, undue stress and economic hardship. Concerned by what transpires with ALL aspects of the Social Security Disability claims process, and the final outcome, we look for patterns of both abuse and success where available, and examples of the hardships experienced during the entire process.
