I'd rather collect guitars or old trucks. Instead, I've been collecting chronic illnesses since 1990. Each new illness has ended a career. And two of them have drained my life savings in vain attempts to recover my health. Now I'm at the point where I'm unable to work at all. I've applied for Social Security Disability, and appealed my denial twice. Currently I'm waiting for a hearing, which I'm told is about 18 months away. Please help save my wife (who has been on disability for three years) and me from losing the home that we've been struggling to pay the mortgage on for the last 16 years.
