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
