dear #Disability #DisabilityLife #HelpFolksLive2026 #HelpNeeded #HelpNeeded2026 #Jewstodon #LosAngeles #Mazeldon #MutualAid #MutualAidNeeded #MutualAidRequest, not to go on a whole saga, but we have a need i've been trying to fill and trying to figure out for years at this point, and i've gotten to the conclusion that it's impossible barring intercession my someone with more money than we have, or some sort of connection, and we need the help.
we need #Housing, we need housing yesterday, or at least #HousingNow, and it needs to be relatively local to where we already are. this could mean living with people who already have the apartment/house and the space, or it could mean banding with a third person or couple who can afford to shoulder most of the burden of the rent and are willing to live with us.
we're both #AmbulatoryWheelchairUser and #Disabled, and we live on my #SSDI, and am the sole income provider for myself and @inoru_no_hoshi. i get $1704 per month, and right now about $700 of that goes to bills, and a decent portion of the rest goes to food and medical needs even though we do still get food stamps even with my income. at the most, we can afford to put $600 towards housing every month. we know that's not much, and that may change depending upon coming into additional money, them getting a job, what have you. we're always going to be limited by needing to qualify for medi-cal (although we're aware of the 250% working disabled program), and i'm always going to be limited by the substantial gainful activity rules and my own limited abilities to bring in further money. it changing cannot be counted on, especially in the near future..
if this is you! i'm going to dump the rest of the details, including why we need to get out of our current situation, into a thread so that not everyone has to read them, but if you know people in los angeles environs, empty nesters who miss having a full house, people with a two bedroom adu or guest house/back house, whatever it may be, please #Boost #BoostThis and #ShareThis and whatever other ways of getting the word out that you have. we're desperate. we're really, truly desperate.

Super helpful description of the differences between SSI (if parents are not collecting social security yet) and SSDI/DAC benefits (if a parent IS collecting SSI). This article will help you to understand how work will affect your benefits.
