Hi, my name is Steve, and I suffer from bipolar disorder, social anxiety problems, agoraphobia, and arthritis. I haven't been able to work for a few years and I am currently awaiting approval for ssi. If I were a single man I would have no problem finding shelter for myself or just ending my life but this is not the case I have a wife and a 12 year old son. The only money I have been able to make are through giving blood plasma twice a week and sometimes I am fortunate enough to participate in paid research studies. I am currently $700.00 in rent, about $480.00 in utilities, and car insurance has lapsed. I get food for my family from foodbanks. I am really trying hard to avoid homelessness for me and my family and my benefits will eventually start. We simply need a little assistance to stabilize our finances until SSI and VA benefits start. Can someone please help...any contribution is appreciated.
