Please, can you help me stay housed for another week? I have $57/$382 to afford another week here (at the weekly rate). I’m only barely able to stand and walk right now, and my stay is up in less than 48 hours with nowhere to go.

🚨 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
$8,455
Annual Survival Need
$27,255
Monthly Survival Need
$1,500
Immediate Stabilization Goal
$25,000
Long-Term Housing and Security Goal
$5,000,000
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.

Speaking of #cyberattacks, it looks the one that hit #TruStage was a doozy! Pro-tip... Make sure your backups are offline and in a secure location (don't get me going about how insecure cloud storage is...)
TruStage CEO Acknowledges Broken Trust, Outlines Next 60 Days Of #Cyberattack Recovery
By Ray Birch
10/08/2026
MADISON, Wis. — "After nearly three months of disruption from a devastating cyberattack, TruStage president/CEO Terrance Williams says the company is entering a new phase of recovery, with a major retirement account platform back online, several critical #CreditUnion systems expected to return within weeks and most key operating systems expected to be restored around year-end.
"In an interview with CUToday.info, Williams said the next 30 to 60 days should bring some of the most significant progress yet in the insurer's recovery from the July 11 attack, including the restoration of systems that have forced credit unions, employees and members to rely on manual processes for everything from insurance claims to account information.
" 'Recovery is beginning to accelerate,' Williams said, acknowledging that the effort has taken longer than he or TruStage's credit union partners had anticipated.
"Among the most significant developments is the Oct. 6 return of #BenefitsForYou, the digital platform that allows retirement plan participants who previously established online accounts to view their balances. For many participants, it marks the first opportunity since the attack to obtain that information online rather than through a telephone-based workaround.
"That is a meaningful milestone for a company whose prolonged outage has left some consumers struggling to access retirement savings, obtain insurance benefits and manage policies. As CUToday.info reported in August, those problems have included delayed #disability payments, difficulty accessing #retirement money and challenges collecting #LifeInsurance proceeds following the death of a family member.
[...]
"As CUToday.info reported Aug. 29, the attack damaged not only TruStage's primary technology environment but portions of the backup infrastructure it expected to use for recovery. The company subsequently accelerated an existing multiyear technology modernization program, rebuilding major portions of its operating environment in the cloud."
Help Aoife and Willow Keep Their Home
My name is Aoife, and I’m a transgender woman living in Portland, Oregon, with Willow, my four-year-old Shiba Inu. In 2025, I lost my housing after a prolonged period of unemployment. For nearly ten months, I paid rent just to sleep on my mother’s couch.
This year, I found work again and finally moved into my first independent apartment in July. In October, my employment assignment unexpectedly ended, just before three major gender-affirming surgeries.
My insurance covers the medical procedures, but it doesn’t cover rent, utilities, groceries, or essential hygiene supplies during recovery. Without financial assistance, I’m at risk of losing the apartment I worked so hard to secure and becoming homeless again while recovering from surgery.
I’m raising $10,000 to help cover approximately six months of essential living expenses. My immediate priority is keeping our home through January. My essential monthly costs are approximately:
How you can help:
Please consider donating whatever you can, or sharing this appeal with your community. Every contribution helps keep Willow and me safely housed during recovery.

Hello, my name is Gina. I am 61 years old and I live in Yopal, Colombia. I am reaching out to compassionate people around the world because I have a dream: to build my own small business and create a more financially independent future. I want to open a small store selling men’s clothing, perfumes, sandals, and watches. I am not looking for permanent financial support. I am looking for an opportunity to work, become self-sufficient, and build a stable source of income for my future. The funds raised through my campaign will help me rent and prepare a small commercial space, purchase initial inventory, and start operating my business. Every contribution, no matter how small, will bring me closer to this goal. I believe that it is never too late to start again. I want to turn solidarity into an opportunity, and an opportunity into honest work. If you cannot donate, sharing my campaign would also mean a lot to me. Thank you for taking the time to read my story. Support my dream here: https://vaki.co/es/vaki/zJ1btgJxE1NdiWS2qsx4

The response this deserves from a local sporting legend.
“Double amputees run marathons. People who are housebound do wonderful creative work from home. People with autism run some of the biggest tech companies in the world. Disability should never be judged through isolated examples of individual achievement, but through an understanding of the barriers people and families face every day.”
Please be kind and show compassion to my friend Sabi. She's a disabled Indigenous woman caring for her elderly mom who has dementia.
Sabi is in a lot of pain and her mom is in the ER. They need urgent support.

Userboxes to get the point across quickly when you're not doing too hot. Made with disabled people in mind who may want to slap this down before a vent, but anybody can use obviously 💙 feel like these have many uses, putting as a disclaimer on your site or blog, for a vent post, whatever.

Hey @bob . What do you think of this?
House Passes Sweeping #TCAVA #Veterans Benefits Bill Despite #Disability Pay Concerns
The House passed a sweeping veterans benefits bill on Veterans Day, advancing expanded benefits despite concerns over future disability payments.
by Douglas Lindslay,
Excerpt: "Despite broad support for many of its provisions, TCAVA has generated significant disagreement within the veterans community.
"At the center of the controversy is #Section108, which would change how the VA evaluates certain service-connected disabilities, including tinnitus and obstructive sleep apnea.
'The Veterans of Foreign Wars [ #VFW ] and Disabled American Veterans [ #DAV ] have argued that the changes could reduce disability compensation for some future claimants, effectively using savings from those benefits to help fund other provisions of the legislation.
"The VFW urged lawmakers to reject TCAVA, arguing that improvements for current veterans should not come at the expense of future generations.
"The VFW condemned Wednesday’s passage. 'It is an insult to America’s veterans that Congress would advance legislation threatening their earned benefits on Veterans Day, the very day our nation is supposed to honor their service and sacrifice,' VFW National Commander-in-Chief Cory Geisler said in a statement. 'This proposal should be dead on arrival in the Senate.'
"DAV has also opposed the proposed compensation changes, citing a VA analysis estimating that the changes could affect up to 1.5 million veterans and reduce compensation payments by as much as $57 billion over 10 years."

🚨 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
$8,455
Annual Survival Need
$27,255
Monthly Survival Need
$1,500
Immediate Stabilization Goal
$25,000
Long-Term Housing and Security Goal
$5,000,000
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.

Final Words
I am tired.
I am hungry.
I am in pain.
I am scared of what tomorrow may bring.
But I am still here, still fighting, and still hoping someone will hear me.
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.
Thank you for taking the time to read my story.

The Guardian view on welfare reform: time to retire lazy myths and stereotypes | Editorial
By Editorial
A speech by the leader of the opposition exemplifies much that is wrong with the way British politics conventionally talks about benefit claimants

Blind, paralyzed CA man left trapped for months awaiting approval for a wheelchair
When thinking of access needs, many think of either/or. Of course, there's nothing about being blind that means you will never also need a wheelchair.
And although journalists use the phrase "wheelchair bound" constantly, wheelchairs are freeing - it's *without* the wheelchair that you're in trouble if you would not otherwise have mobility.
Medicare and other insurers are *terrible* about approving costs for wheelchairs.
