Help LJ To Survive...

Donation protected
To Whom It May Concern,

I have always been an extremely independent person and I hate asking anyone for anything.   Those who know me can verify that for sure, and will be very shocked to see this.  Therefore for me to come here at all, and ask for help in anyway, is one of the hardest things I have ever had to do in my life.   In fact helping others during my life is one of the things that has made me happy.  

I was for most of my life a very healthy person until one day on 11/3/96 my whole life changed, and not in a good way, because of a simple bump on the head.  From that day on my health and life has been on a continuing downward spiral with no relief in sight.  I have several incurable diseases (too many to list) that are attacking every part of my body and my health continues to decline by the day.  Still up until now I have done my best to survive on my own, for many years. Unfortunately the time has finally come where I have to face the disturbing fact that I'm not going to be able to handle things anymore without outside help.  In fact the stress alone of having to deal with my situation is killing me faster.  

It may seem like the amount of money I am asking for is out of the question, or way too much, but when your whole life is quickly falling apart all at once it is overwhelming to say the least.   So here is a chilling statistic to give you some perspective:

"New York City paid $208,513 to feed, house and guard each prison inmate in 2014"

So as you can see, NY city is spending almost half of what I am asking for, on each criminal, for just one year, yet an upstanding citizen such as myself, along with so many other people, have to come here to ask you for assistance.  I am hoping to be able to barely survive, if my diseases don't kill me first, for at least 10 years, on what I am requesting here.

Honestly, I have no expectations, especially when I have seen and experienced for myself, how people who are in my situation, have been abused, or neglected by others in this country.  Just because a person can no longer earn a paycheck, it does not mean that they cannot be a valuable member of society.  It is very easy to lose faith in humanity because of that, but I at least have to try, and hopefully I will be pleasantly surprised, and my faith in humanity can be restored.

Please know that any help will be greatly appreciated!
