Hey DUers I Need Some Emergency Help From You All

I have been told by the attorney working on my SSI appeal that it will be another 3 to 4 weeks before I get a ruling, she said I should have it by December.

So now I am here in my Fathers house with $1.000 in bills that I can not pay, I have a house payment, a truck payment, the gas and light bill, and the Cable/phone/internet bill from Comcast. That means I need to raise the money by the 10th of November or I will be late on some bills, the truck payment is not due until the 28th so I have a little longer on that one.

I was living with my 89 year old Father and taking care of him, he had Alzheimers and Dementia and I took care of him 24/7 for the last 3 years. Then he passed away and it left me disabled with a bad back and other medical problems. I am 53 years old and I can not work due to my back and medical problems.

I am still depressed from my Father dying and I might have to go on some kind of anti-depressant medication. The Illinois department of human services is sending my to see a Psychologist at Proctor First Care to have psychological testing on November 12th. And I have a doctor appointment on the 20th with my own doctor, and she is thinking about putting me on anti-depressant pills.

I filed for SSI in December of 2012, then it was denied in May of this year, so we appealed the ruling and they tell me I will have the appeal ruling soon.

So if you guys could help me out and make a donation to help me pay my bills for November I would greatly appreciate it. Here is my paypal info:

I'm sure many will help.

Keep in mind, please, that while not optimal, being 'late' in paying some bills is nowhere near the end of the world.

Thanks for the donation, I really appreciate it.

Your donation is the only one I got, I think people are just tired of making donations to me. I raise some money back in September to pay my bills for October, and now it looks like people have decided I do not deserve any more money, or they just can not afford it.

I appreciate all they have given, and I just hope to get a few more donations, because I still need about $900.00 more to pay my bills this month.

I felt bad that I couldn't donate before. I lost my mother two years ago because of Hurricane Irene and I certainly sympathize, and I have been very fortunate. My heart goes out to you and I hope you get all you need...

I will keep your donation site in mind so if in the future I have anything left to spare I can make a donation.

Best of luck to you.

Contact your church--a lot of times they will help with stuff like this. The St. Vincent de Paul Society is well known in my community for helping people out of fixes.
