Financial Help Until Disability is Approved

Hi friends! 

I’ve changed my fundraiser to GoFunMe because the Facebook one takes over a week to give me the funds you’ve donated. 

Paypal is even quicker. 

My paypal is [email redacted] 

I’m asking for some financial help until I find some type of part time, chill work. If any of you know of anything, please let me know. 
My financial situation is REALLY bad. This is my only form of income at the moment.
My lawyer is taking my case to Congress! They haven’t sent either of us the denial after multiple requests. I was denied April 24, 2019. Also they haven’t sent her my file. Both things are big no-no’s.

The county lowered our food stamp amount because Lilah made a little more than usual on her last paycheck. Also, they’re trying to make me pay them back $120 because they’re saying they overpaid us in March and April due to Lilah making like an extra $300 in March. It’s such bullshit. I’m refusing to pay them. Fuck them. They give us $280 a month which lasts maybe two weeks. Now they are lowering it to $222!

The main problem is that most days out of the week I feel like I have the Ebola virus.

Fibromyalgia is fucking brutal. You never know how you’re going to feel. That on top of my spine stuff, is a fucking nightmare. I cannot stand for more than a few minutes without having to sit due to severe lower back pain and sciatica. 

I had two cervical fusions with laminectomy last year, plus bilateral carpal tunnel surgeries. 

Here’s the list of my stupid body aliments-

Spinal stenosis 

Lumbar spondylitis 

Myelopathy 

Lumbar radiculopathy 

Degenerative Disc Disease

Spinal Osteoarthritis 

Fibromyalgia 

IBS-from the fibromyalgia 

Bilateral hand tremors. Much worse in right hand 

Severe sciatica in right leg-mild in left leg-this makes is very difficult to stand and walk. 

Severe lumbar back pain that radiates into both thighs

Hypermobility Syndrome 

Chronic pain

Severe body weakness 

Neck/shoulder/head pain due to spasms around my neck hard wear

Headache 24/7 from fibromyalgia and neck spasms

Total “brain fog”

Difficulty getting things done due to major depressive disorder, ADHD, Anxiety, brain fog, and OCD.

Fingers crossed I get something soon that I can even tolerate and that won’t make me even more miserable.

My lawyer told me not to work due to the severity of my conditions and wait for the hearing, but she isn’t going to pay my rent and I can’t live off of everyone for another year. She wants to keep appealing. Ugh

She said I can work part time and gross up to $1200 a month. That’s what I’m going to have to try and do. I can do this and still have a hearing. 

It is so hard for me to keep asking for help. The people who know me well, know that I’m a very independent person.  I’m really sorry. I’m totally desperate

Please send me good job juju. Idk how I’m going to work like this, but I have to now. 

Anything helps at this point. Please share. I’m at defcon 5 levels of desperation.  

Thank you for all of your help during this crappy time. I appreciate it so much! 

With love and gratitude, 

 Maria ♥️♥️♥️
