Please only use the paypal link for now since my bank account was closed.
In January of 2009, I was crushed between two 1 ton racks. I have permanent spine, muscle and nerve damage, I am in constant pain and walk with a bad limp. I did recieve a work comp settlement, but with the rediculous state laws, it wasn't much. Also, going 5 yrs without income dwindled that pittance down really fast. I have a house that is barely livable in a town that almost 1/3 of the houses are for sale. I have been denied disability 10 times with 3 different attorneys, and 1 saying it would be pointless to pursue my case unless I spend money I don't have on more doctor appointments. I was a workaholic. I averaged 70 hours a week with a 46 mile drive each way while taking care of my disabled father. That accident cost me everything. I can't work, no one will hire me, I have no car, no income, my gas has been turned off for over 3 months and I owe over $500 on it, my electricity is shut off any day and is over $1,800 behind. Having to beg for help like this has brought me to a new low emotionally. Almost everyone I know personally will vouch that I am not someone always looking for a hand out. I always worked, and worked hard. Not being able to, as well as pain being so constant, doctors that fail to do their jobs, having no food in the house among other things is devastating.
