Emergencies

Hi family and friends I hate to be here again but unfortunately I'm desperately in need or definitely would not be. Since early October I have been without any income whatsoever I was denied assistance from DSHS hen program for cash assistance and rent assistance because they tole me I wasn't in serious enough medical and physical need. In June I was hospitalized with severe pneumonia my lungs were completely full of liquid and I flatlined on the hospital bed. Thankfully I was brought back but it was at that time I was informed thst I had congestive heart failure which while a very serious and frightening thing it can be reversed even though no cure has been found bur people can reverse it through weight loss, change of diet and all thst. I also have restricted lung disease and have to be on oxygen 24/7 this is also associated with my weight but more so because of the aftermath of the two times I survived Covid. I am currently waiting for approval for SSI and disability and when I filed my appeal with DSHS denial. I have been getting rental assistance from family and help with groceries which I do get nearly $300 a month for food stamps and I also get help from our local food bank in Lake Stevens which is a great help but all that doesn't nearly cover a month's worth with the increasing prices of food and what not in grocery stores right now in Washington State. Rent and bills but mostly rent are the twi major major things. Rent is $850 a month and my father, brother have been helping me pay that and help from my mother at times as well. They can no longer keep helping me though due to they're own financial responsibilities and what not let alone trying to help me meet mins just so I don't end up out of the streets. So I am coming to you my family and friends. Hopefully I'll hear from SSI and disability in the next month or so but even then I'm being told by many I'll most likely be denied then I'll have to get ahold of an attorney to help me win approval but in the meantime I still have no income whatsoever. I can't work so I am asking for your financial assistance I know these are trying times for everyone which makes me hate this even more. Anything helps I appreciate and love you all and hopefully I can win the mega millions someday and repay you all. Much love you're dear family and friend Ryan M Fisher
