Donate to Barbara Olson's Path to Recovery

I will start off here by saying how embarrassed I am to even come here and ask for help and please don't criticize me for doing so. To those who know me, know that I have always helped others before me or have put others before myself as well. They also know that I am an independent person who tries to do things on her own. However, that all changed in August of last year. My independence was more or less all taken away from me. I became disabled. I cannot walk far, and have to use a cane or a walker depending on where I am. I grocery shop from home because can't load the car and unload the car making all the trips back and forth.

Here is why I am asking for help from whoever can donate. I was on disability payments of what I paid in from working. As time was getting closer to running out of money from SDI, (unemployment office) I applied for SSI and SDI through the Social Security office, however, that takes 280 days from the time I applied until approval (if approved) which will take me into March or April of next year.

I have had to file for bankruptcy and will be losing my car. I have not been carless since I was like 19 years old. My whole life has been washed away and I have hit rock bottom. All out my control. I do need a double knee replacement because they are bone-to-bone. They will not operate due to my weight gain because I cannot exercise the way they want me to exercise.

I am asking for help to cover my bills in the house and for my moms storage unit until I can clear it out. I have no place for it right now at my own home. This is just until I can land on my feet again. I am currently looking for work since I only know two jobs my whole life which is Denny's and working at a gas station. So now I have to find a behind the desk job. This will be a whole new working path for me.

The ones who want to donate in a different area I have venmo @Barbara_Olson, or email me and I can give you my house address for mailing.

I apologize for the dollar amount I am asking, but for my portion of the bills a month is roughly $1500 that includes everything. Not to mention, I know I would not get that amount anyway.

Thank you everyone who would like to help me out.
