HELP SAVE MY HOME

There comes a point in time when you’ve done everything you can and you simply have to ask for help. My name is Barbara Lindsey and I’m here sincerely asking for help. I’m 50 years old, trying to make it but I’ve exhausted all resources through family and friends and I’m in dire need of help. I’ve been disabled since 2008, in which I did apply for Social Security assistance but was denied. I’ve tried numerous times to go back to work, through different temporary agencies and companies, but due to my health issues I haven’t had much success. I have chronic neck and back pain (and in need of surgery), lower back slip disc, bilateral carpal tunnel (in both hands), tendonitis (in both elbows) and phlebitis (in both legs), which causes swelling and is painful to walk on. I’ve had surgery on my right hand and elbow, which is my dominant hand. From the surgery, I was left with 40% impairment in my right hand.

As a result of my last surgery, I was terminated from my job back in September 2014 because I was deemed unable to perform job duties. I have extensive skills with a strong resume; however, with my health issues, companies will not hire or consider my application. I currently do not have any insurance or form of income, even though I’ve worked 30 years. I’ve applied for not only Social Security but also Disability assistance three times, and still is being denied assistance despite the extensive health issues facing me. My most recent application for Disability was denied stating they have no medical information even though I’ve submitted numerous medical documents. I’ve contacted agencies in surrounding cities, as well as the House of Representative but the last response I received was for me to file a court case to the Federal District Court. I’ve tried resubmitting my medical information in hopes of receiving an appeal, but I’m running out of time and I’ve reached a point to where I’m willing to ask for donations.

My family and friends have been kind enough to help me out for the last couple of months. I’ve also reached out to all community agencies for assistance. However, I’ve reached the max on all of those resources and this is my last option. I’ve lost my car and home in foreclosure, and I have absolutely no income. I pray that you find it in your heart to donate however much you can. Any form of donation is greatly appreciated. Thank you!
