🚨 URGENT HELP NEEDED TODAY 🚨

I am a 48-year-old disabled man living in poverty, and I am struggling to survive.

Every day is a battle against constant pain, sleepless nights, hunger, declining health, worsening vision, vertigo, mobility issues, cognitive decline, and the harsh reality that my disability income does not come close to covering the cost of living.

I face impossible choices every day:

Food or hygiene.
Medication or necessities.
Survival today or survival tomorrow.

I have no safety net. No financial cushion. No family support. No meaningful support system.

I am asking for help because I genuinely do not know how much longer I can continue carrying this burden alone.

My Reality

I live solely on SSDI.

I have no health insurance.

I do not drive.

I live in a rural area with no public transportation, meaning everything I need must be delivered or depend on finding someone willing and able to help.

My housing situation is unstable. Part of my rent is paid through helping maintain the property where I live, but my disabilities and declining health are making even those responsibilities increasingly difficult.

I am aging in poverty, and every year brings new physical limitations, more pain, and greater uncertainty.

I am not getting better.

I am getting worse.

My Health Is Declining

My days are consumed by:

Chronic pain
Exhaustion
High blood pressure fluctuations
Vertigo and dizziness
Poor mobility
Knee, hip, ankle, and joint pain
Numbness and weakness in my hands
Cognitive and executive functioning decline
Vision problems and light sensitivity
Dental issues
Anxiety, PTSD, and Bipolar Disorder

Some days my vision becomes a fuzzy blur. Bright light hurts. Low light makes basic tasks difficult.

If I sit too long, my joints lock up.

If I stand too long, my legs burn and stiffen.

If I lie down, pain spreads throughout my body.

Simple daily activities that most people take for granted are becoming harder and harder to accomplish.

Why I Am Reaching Out

I am exhausted.

Physically.

Mentally.

Emotionally.

Spiritually.

I have spent years contacting organizations, charities, government agencies, advocacy programs, nonprofits, and anyone I could think of for help.

Most of the time I receive lists of resources, referrals, phone numbers, websites, and suggestions.

What I do not receive are results.

I desperately need someone willing to understand my actual circumstances and help create real, concrete solutions.

I do not need more lists.

I need advocacy.

I need a social worker or case manager who can help navigate housing, healthcare, benefits, food security, transportation, and long-term stability.

I know resources exist.

I simply cannot seem to access them on my own.

A Recent Example

A few months ago, I developed a serious dental problem.

The pain became so severe that my landlord had to take me to the emergency room simply to obtain antibiotics.

After extensive effort and repeated requests, I was able to receive an examination and X-rays, only to be referred elsewhere for additional care I could not afford and could not reliably travel to.

Multiple emails and follow-ups produced little more than apologies and delays.

This experience reflects a much larger problem:

Many disabled people are given information about help.

Far fewer are actually able to obtain that help.

What I Need Most
Immediate Needs
Food and groceries
Hygiene supplies
Clothing
Medical and dental care
Transportation assistance
Household necessities
Relief from immediate financial crisis
Long-Term Needs
Stable, permanent housing
Consistent food security
Reliable healthcare access
Advocacy and case management
A sustainable future with dignity and security

My greatest need is stability.

I need a forever home where I can live safely for the rest of my life without constantly fearing homelessness, displacement, or crisis.

This Is About Dignity

This is not a request for luxury.

It is a plea for dignity.

Poverty is expensive.

Disability is exhausting.

Hunger is cruel.

Isolation is crushing.

I am trying to survive while my body and mind continue to deteriorate.

Despite everything, I continue to fight every day.

I continue to hope.

I continue to ask for help.

Financial Needs
Today's Goal

Annual Survival Need

$27,255

Monthly Survival Need

$1,500

Immediate Stabilization Goal

$25,000

Long-Term Housing and Security Goal

A stable, accessible, permanent property would not only give me safety and security, but potentially allow me to spend the remainder of my life helping others who struggle as I have.

If you have ever known hardship, loss, fear, hunger, loneliness, disability, or uncertainty, then you know that compassion can mean everything.

Please help if you can.

After that I woke up today after sleeping 10 hours, but it was a very agitated sleep.
I messed up setting the heater and turned it on to the max, so super dry air and I woke up feeling like I've just lived 3 life times that I needed a few hours to process

I think if my first name was Ron and my last name started with Hub and ended with bard, I could make a cult out of these dreams lol

For once they're pretty entertaining dreams so I'll write a summary.

#chronicillness #fatigue #dream

I had a weird week, I tried to put a very generous alarm (around 10 hours after my sleeping time) earlier this week just to see the sun a bit.

It went fine I actually woke up before my alarm the first day, but the second day I had to go back to sleep a few hours later. And then I slept for 2 days and I was absolutely wiped.

I finally woke up at 8PM and then I stayed awake for 28 hours, bursting with energy.

This is so weird and I can't find a logic.

I'm glad Oregon is fighting the proposed Medicaid work requirements!

Work requirements will hurt so many disabled folks. #MEAction has been fighting these Medicaid changes for a while with their Frail & Furious campaign:

I live in a rural area with no public transportation, meaning everything I need must be delivered or depend on finding someone willing and able to help.

My housing situation is unstable. Part of my rent is paid through helping maintain the property where I live, but my disabilities and declining health are making even those responsibilities increasingly difficult.

I am aging in poverty, and every year brings new physical limitations, more pain, and greater uncertainty.

I am not getting better.

I am getting worse.

My Health Is Declining

My days are consumed by:

Chronic pain
Exhaustion
High blood pressure fluctuations
Vertigo and dizziness
Poor mobility
Knee, hip, ankle, and joint pain
Numbness and weakness in my hands
Cognitive and executive functioning decline
Vision problems and light sensitivity
Dental issues
Anxiety, PTSD, and Bipolar Disorder

Some days my vision becomes a fuzzy blur. Bright light hurts. Low light makes basic tasks difficult.

If I sit too long, my joints lock up.

If I stand too long, my legs burn and stiffen.

If I lie down, pain spreads throughout my body.

Simple daily activities that most people take for granted are becoming harder and harder to accomplish.

Why I Am Reaching Out

I am exhausted.

Physically.

Mentally.

Emotionally.

Spiritually.

I have spent years contacting organizations, charities, government agencies, advocacy programs, nonprofits, and anyone I could think of for help.

Most of the time I receive lists of resources, referrals, phone numbers, websites, and suggestions.

What I do not receive are results.

I desperately need someone willing to understand my actual circumstances and help create real, concrete solutions.

I do not need more lists.

I need advocacy.

I need a social worker or case manager who can help navigate housing, healthcare, benefits, food security, transportation, and long-term stability.

I know resources exist.

I simply cannot seem to access them on my own.

A Recent Example

A few months ago, I developed a serious dental problem.

The pain became so severe that my landlord had to take me to the emergency room simply to obtain antibiotics.

After extensive effort and repeated requests, I was able to receive an examination and X-rays, only to be referred elsewhere for additional care I could not afford and could not reliably travel to.

Multiple emails and follow-ups produced little more than apologies and delays.

This experience reflects a much larger problem:

Many disabled people are given information about help.

Far fewer are actually able to obtain that help.

What I Need Most
Immediate Needs
Food and groceries
Hygiene supplies
Clothing
Medical and dental care
Transportation assistance
Household necessities
Relief from immediate financial crisis
Long-Term Needs
Stable, permanent housing
Consistent food security
Reliable healthcare access
Advocacy and case management
A sustainable future with dignity and security

My greatest need is stability.

I need a forever home where I can live safely for the rest of my life without constantly fearing homelessness, displacement, or crisis.

This Is About Dignity

This is not a request for luxury.

It is a plea for dignity.

Poverty is expensive.

Disability is exhausting.

Hunger is cruel.

Isolation is crushing.

I am trying to survive while my body and mind continue to deteriorate.

Despite everything, I continue to fight every day.

I continue to hope.

I continue to ask for help.

People Neither My Health Nor My Situation In Life Is Miraculously Improving, Immediate And Substantial Help Is Required;

#Disability #Poverty #Aging #Health
🚨 URGENT HELP NEEDED TODAY 🚨

I am a 48-year-old disabled man living in poverty, and I am struggling to survive.

Every day is a battle against constant pain, sleepless nights, hunger, declining health, worsening vision, vertigo, mobility issues, cognitive decline, and the harsh reality that my disability income does not come close to covering the cost of living.

I face impossible choices every day:

Food or hygiene.
Medication or necessities.
Survival today or survival tomorrow.

I have no safety net. No financial cushion. No family support. No meaningful support system.

I am asking for help because I genuinely do not know how much longer I can continue carrying this burden alone.

My Reality

I live solely on SSDI.

I have no health insurance.

I do not drive.

I live in a rural area with no public transportation, meaning everything I need must be delivered or depend on finding someone willing and able to help.

My housing situation is unstable. Part of my rent is paid through helping maintain the property where I live, but my disabilities and declining health are making even those responsibilities increasingly difficult.
