for more explanation.
I don't qualify for the Affordable Care Act because, according to them, I don't make enough money. I swear that's what they've told me three different times now.
I am Sherry Collum, a 55 year old single woman who's driven and (more or less) lived in a tractor-trailer for the past 16 years - up until March 2016. That March I came down with double pneumonia; had to stay in the hospital a week; and lost my job. I could not go back to driving because of certain physical and health requirements the Department of Transportation (DOT) deems necessary to keep our highways safe.
I don’t have any marketable skills for an office type job, and my feet/legs/back can’t take standing for long periods of time – as in a cashier-type job. I have COPD, Heart Disease, Bilateral Neural Foraminal Narrowing in my spine, and a host other disorders I take medications for.
So I filed for Social Security Disability. The SSA approved my application because I was so close to being over the threshold of 55 yrs old (combined with my occupational classification).
I will have been without income for almost a year now. My savings are gone. I am expected to move from where I am now, but I have nowhere to go.
My story is how it gradually happens that one day a person finds themselves sitting on a street corner with nowhere to go.
Please DONATE and/or share - and PRAY for me.
