#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.

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

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.

Hi, I'm a painfully neurodivergent and chronically underemployed pan nb living in the buckle of the bible belt. I'm about to start a new job ($9/hr), but could still use a few bucks to help hold over until my first paycheck, which is about 3 or 4 weeks out.

I'll be forever thankful if you are willing to support me or buy some of my music. Pics are of my dog, Biscuit and her handiwork; foot for scale.

Thank you for hearing me out.

Oura deal may complicate Lilly’s GLP-1 telehealth ties

Eli Lilly already sends patients looking for a GLP-1 prescription to Counsel Health through its pharmacy platform LillyDirect. Now, smart ring maker Oura is buying Counsel, which could give Lilly a financial interest in a telehealth company it promotes. Lilly has agreed to buy $50 million in Oura stock if certain conditions are met, though the drugmaker says those conditions haven’t been met yet, STAT’s Elaine Chen writes.

It is rather insidious the extraction of momentary view one gains from a singular post, blogs and social media for some are a hobby, for some a way to waste time, for others it is a living evolving digital autobiography, without actually taking the the time to examine the complete body of work, to really read it, allow it to sit with you and to comprehend it in it's entirety, you simply can not formulate an accurate portrait of an individual, and to brush off random and sometimes repeated posts, chalking them up to useless nonsense without actually immersing yourself in the authors world they provide, you simply have empty fragments that are void of context and substance, so when you scroll through feeds, and you see something you deem pointless, set aside a few hours and actually read the body of works in it's entirety, reserve your judgement and place yourself in the authors world;

It is brilliantly absurd how many people see my posts and visit my profile every day, yet fail to comprehend my words;

You certainly are no obligation to visit each of these links, your more than welcome to scroll through my entire profile, but this collection of links offers a broad and clear view into the human behind the profile, you may find it interesting, you may find it horrifying, but unless you visit and read each of them you will simply be wondering, or maybe not maybe your not that complex, but in any event take the next hour and if for no other reason to be entertained check them out today;

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.

Hi, I'm a painfully neurodivergent and chronically underemployed pan nb living in the buckle of the bible belt. I'm about to start a new job ($9/hr), but could still use a few bucks to help hold over until my first paycheck, which is about 3 or 4 weeks out.

I'll be forever thankful if you are willing to support me or buy some of my music. Pics are of my dog, Biscuit and her handiwork; foot for scale.

Thank you for hearing me out.

An unexpected joy:

I decided that distraction was a good idea today, given dysphoria and the fact I currently have a rather persistent persecutor-style system-mate who enjoys trying to mimic my abusive Mother(who I have had zero contact with for many years, for good reason). Plural life can be great, it's true, and also it's not all a bed or roses😅(I'm plural specifically *because* of extensive lifelong traumas from very young). I have years of therapy and self help stuff under my belt, so lots of different tools to choose from to help myself in healthy ways when I need, which I'm grateful for...and yes, even with all that, it can be a struggle.

Anyway...the best plan of action for me, I figured, was to get into the kitchen and organise a cupboard. Something practical, physical but gentle enough to not cause me a pain flare, and something that would help me feel a sense of achievement and help grounding because it's work I can feel and see.

End result? Success....and also I found a couple of bottles I can wash out and use for witchy stuff. Huzzah! Feeling very accomplished right now. Time for coffee, and take out some trash☺️

It is rather insidious the extraction of momentary view one gains from a singular post, blogs and social media for some are a hobby, for some a way to waste time, for others it is a living evolving digital autobiography, without actually taking the the time to examine the complete body of work, to really read it, allow it to sit with you and to comprehend it in it's entirety, you simply can not formulate an accurate portrait of an individual, and to brush off random and sometimes repeated posts, chalking them up to useless nonsense without actually immersing yourself in the authors world they provide, you simply have empty fragments that are void of context and substance, so when you scroll through feeds, and you see something you deem pointless, set aside a few hours and actually read the body of works in it's entirety, reserve your judgement and place yourself in the authors world;

It is brilliantly absurd how many people see my posts and visit my profile every day, yet fail to comprehend my words;

You certainly are no obligation to visit each of these links, your more than welcome to scroll through my entire profile, but this collection of links offers a broad and clear view into the human behind the profile, you may find it interesting, you may find it horrifying, but unless you visit and read each of them you will simply be wondering, or maybe not maybe your not that complex, but in any event take the next hour and if for no other reason to be entertained check them out today;

What Is So Hard To Comprehend, That There Is Something Wrong And I Desperately Need Help, People Neither My Health Nor My Situation In Life Is Miraculously Improving, Immediate And Substantial Help Is Required;

What Is So Hard To Comprehend, That There Is Something Wrong And I Desperately Need 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.

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.

#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.

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.

#KansasCityMO - Nearly 100 volunteers paint #TinyHomes for formerly #HomelessVeterans

By Claire Decatur
Published: Oct. 28, 2026 at 7:21 PM EDT

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (KCTV) - "Dozens of volunteers spent their lunch hour on a mission.

"Nearly 100 people with Veterans United Foundation Teams spent the day at the Veterans Community Project. They painted the tiny homes in the village to give them new life.

"The tiny homes serve as transitional housing for formerly homeless veterans. The homes are specifically designed for people living with #PTSD according to the organization.

" 'For me personally, a lot of my experiences and my service were just small details, just doing work, just kinda knocking out little tasks that all contribute to the larger mission, right, same thing here. Coming out, doing the painting and some of the manual labor that helps insure that these homes are in the best shape for the veterans that are here,' Baxter Nickels, Veterans United Home Loans, said.

"Other volunteers from the group are also running the project’s monthly #FoodPantry for the Veterans Community Project."

Messenger: On #VeteransDay, a small step in #StLouis toward reducing homelessness

by Tony Messenger, November 11, 2026

"America talks a good game when it comes to supporting our nation’s veterans.

"On Veterans Day, and the Fourth of July and Memorial Day, we hang our flags high and thank veterans for their service. On Saturdays and Sundays, we watch college and pro football, with players and coaches wearing special 'salute to veterans' patches and hats. We direct our eyes to the sky during the F-18 flyovers and salute the veterans in our midst.

"Beyond our patriotic gestures, reality tells a different story.

"Congress often falls short when it comes to funding the #VeteransAdministration , leaving gaps in healthcare services. Veterans come home from forever wars with forever problems, from PTSD to drug addiction, and our government is often slow to help.

"That’s why more than 32,000 veterans experienced homelessness last year, according to the Department of Housing and Urban Development. There’s a nugget of good news in that number: it’s been declining nationally since 2009. Still, more than 13,000 veterans who have experienced #homelessness are #unsheltered, meaning they’re living on the streets, under a bridge or in a tent in the woods.

"But here’s another bit of good news: in a couple of weeks, about 15 veterans living on the streets in St. Louis will have a new option. The nonprofit Peter & Paul Community Services is opening a floor for veterans on its community campus in north St. Louis. The #TransitionalHousing, which will include counseling and case management services, will be funded by the VA.

" 'We’ve seen more and more veterans come through our system,' says Anthony D’Agostino, the CEO of Peter & Paul. 'Until now, we didn’t have a place on our campus to put them.'

"Peter & Paul moved into the former Little Sisters of the Poor Building on North Florissant Avenue in 2024, with the help of the city and funding from the federal American Rescue Plan Act. Since then, it has slowly been opening each of the eight floors of the facility and partnering with other nonprofits to serve different groups of people in danger of homelessness.

"There’s a medical respite floor operated by the nonprofit Three Steps Home, the first of its kind in St. Louis, to help folks who still need medical care after a hospital release. There’s a floor for people with developmental disabilities, and another for families.

"The facility has housed people who lost their homes in the 2025 #tornado and, more recently, those who were kicked out of the #MarkTwainBuilding downtown.

"The 15 veterans’ units, each with their own small apartment, will add to about 127 apartments or other facilities in St. Louis run by nonprofits and targeted to veterans. There is the #TinyHomes community on #NorthGrand, opened in 2023 and run by the Veterans Community Project. St. Patrick’s Center’s operates 47 apartments for veterans at its #ProjectHERO site at Freedom Place on Delmar Boulevard. And the Criminal Justice Ministry has long served veterans who need a place to stay following a prison sentence.

"Together, the various nonprofits will have almost enough units for the estimated 150 veterans living on the streets in St. Louis, according to the most recent estimate. It’s progress, but D’Agostino says there are likely more people facing homelessness than the annual HUD #PointInTime counts can identify, as well as several in outlying counties who often end up in St. Louis seeking services.

"The population offers a paradox for folks who work to end homelessness. Veterans are at a higher risk for homelessness because of the trauma they have suffered, and they often are in more need of mental-health and other services. But veterans also have access to VA and other services, which can help nonprofits working with them — if those nonprofits can get them into shelters and transitional housing.

"Too many American veterans have no shelter over their heads as temperatures drop and winter nears. Let’s save our empty salutes until all of them have a place they can call home."

RE: https://mastodon.social/@BylinesEast/117598284688232612

when I worked on maintenance team in a care home about a decade ago we had a patient who had served in this part of #ESEA at an officers rank - he had #dementia *and* #PTSD and was (unsurprisingly) worried that when I arrived on his floor to fix a computer I might be a Japanese spy (to that age group, computers were often considered as "Japanese technology")

The matron reassured him this patient I was on the right side, at which he said "send for the barber - this young man's hair is too long (it was quite short at the time!) - he must have a haircut before he serves in His Majesty's Forces! And whilst you're at it, *I* need a haircut too before I am fit for service! (dude had forgotten he was now 100% bald)"

"...He entered the front door and Spike entered the back..."
