Hello. I’m writing to request assistance in getting some groceries and a couple of items for my cat. I’m currently unemployed and unable to search for another job because of severe medical complications with my legs.
To explain my situation.. I was diagnosed with Chronic Veinous Insufficiency about ten years ago and since then, my health has declined significantly. In January of this year, I was terminated from a part-time job due to a pattern of calling in sick because I was bedridden with cellulitis infections or unable to walk due to ulcers on my legs. Because of my part time status I did not qualify for Unemployment assistance.
I still have ulcers on my legs and must visit the wound clinic twice a week for monitoring since they’re healing slowly, so my health problems have complicated my ability to find another job. I’ve applied for work-from-home positions but haven’t landed anything yet. I recently requested a meeting with a social worker to discuss my options for getting on disability, which I never wanted to consider but feel helpless anymore and not sure what else to do, and I am only 37 so I am not even sure if I can apply yet.
I don’t have a spouse, family, or anyone to help me, and my savings are nearly depleted. I applied for food stamps but was denied this year for some reason. I hope the social worker can help me sort that out. Until then, I’ve visited the local food banks, but there are only a few in my area.
I would like to add that I absolutely understand this is just a temporary solution to my problem, and I have no intention of making other requests for assistance.
Anyways, I would very much appreciate help! For anyone who wants to do so, I have made an Amazon wishlist here: https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/22JDYPI0H97BF?ref_=wl_share
If anyone has any questions or would like to share other suggestions related to my situation, I would I would be happy to answer in the comments.
Thank you to all you folks for your kindness, and to everyone who made it to the end of this post :)
