Thank you so very much!

I want to take a moment to thank all of you for your amazing response to OmahaSteve's post supporting my GoFundMe fundraiser.
Your kindness has allowed me to take care of all my November obligations and begin on December. I'm so grateful that I get to enter this holiday season on a high note, instead of being overwhelmed with anxiety and fright.
You all have been an ongoing miracle in my life as I struggle through this SSDI process that needs serious review and overhaul once the orange peel is gone.
I am not alone in this, so many are suffering at the extraordinary length these evaluations take now and it is killing many as they haven't properly funded the SSA FOR DECADES!
I don't know where I'd be without you all and your support, when speaking of support, I of course refer to your emotional support as well as financial. You have sustained me in my very darkest moments and for that I am grateful beyond words.
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you to my DU family, you have literally saved my life and continue to do so.
I love you,
John Mckusick
