Need help with living expenses while waiting for disability

Donation protected
First off, any and all donations go directly to paying bills, such as rent, electric, gas, phone, and internet to prevent shut offs. Also transportation costs for doctor visits.
I'm not sure how to write this to get your attention, but here's my story.
I've been fighting for disability for over 2 years now, I am now going through appeals and I have no idea how long that can take. I have anklyosing spondylitis in my lower spine, which causes me great pain and movement issues. I also have a list of other issues such as Ectodermal Dysplasia a pretty rare genetic condition I've had since birth and that affects my hair, skin, pores (sweat very little and pass out due to heat), and my teeth. I currently don't have teeth because I had the few teeth I did have pulled because they were falling apart. I also have hypermobility issues which causes me more pain, and my mental health is pretty bad as well. was just diagnosed with Autism a few months ago and ADHD about 2 years ago (I'm currently 41) and I have Anxiety and Depression as well. my physical issues will not get better or go away, I'll have to live with them forever, they can only be "managed" with medication. My wife and son also have issues that Prevent them for doing a lot of things as well. were looking for doctors for them.

The reason I'm on here doing this is because I've been out of work for over 2 years, and buried in debt, bills being shut off because I've ran out of extensions or other help. I also owe my landlord a years worth of rent because I haven't been able to pay him. He's let me stay this long because he knows I'm fighting for disability, but I don't think his generosity will stretch for much longer.

I'm in deep, and at risk of losing everything, again. about 3 and a half years ago we were in a homeless shelter for 6 months until we found this place. I don't want us to end up back in that position. I'll probably upload some of my bills as proof to show what I'm trying to figure out.

We just need help, we just want to be able to survive.
