Hey DUers I Need Some Emergency Help From You

56. Anne............

I was told the SSI appeal decision would be made in 4 to 6 weeks, and that was a couple weeks ago. So I should have a decision by November, maybe even before that. November will be 6 months from the original denial in May. I am also waiting on a decision on the cash assistance I filed for from DHS to get the public aid. They gave me a medical card, but I am still waiting to get a ruling on the cash assistance.

The law firm I have takes 20% of the first check, if I win the appeal, nothing if I lose.

The house went to my half brother because he has money in it, and I do not know when he is going to try and sell it, so it would be really hard for me to get a roommate when I can not tell them how long I will be living here. I also have other things going on here, garage sale, etc. So I can not move out of here for a while. All the people who need to contact me have the number here, and all my mail comes here, etc.

I just need to raise enough money to pay the bills until I get the decision on my SSI appeal, then I will figure out what to do then. I also filed an application for a cash grant from the Sunshine Lady Foundation, and I should hear from them in about 5 more weeks, around November 9th. They said 8 weeks, and I filed on September 9th.

Basically, I am stuck here for a while, and I really do not want to move right now. I was born and raised here and I am emotionally attached to the house. If I could I would live here the rest of my life, but that is not possible. On top of that, I am still having a hard time getting over the death of my Father.

Not to mention, my aunt and uncle live next door, and my real brother lives 3 houses away from me, so I have them here to help me do things. My uncle even donated a bunch of stuff he had bought in storage locker auctions for me to do another garage sale, and if I did not live next door to him that would not have been possible.

It's very complicated, and I just need to raise about $500.00 more to get me to November. Then I will find out about everything and go from there. So if anyone else can make a donation, I sure would appreciate it, I still need to raise another $500.00 by October 10th so I can pay all my bills.
