HELLO,I'M A SINGLE FATHER OF FOUR YOUNG CHILDREN AND WE ARE IN DIRE NEED OF HELP. ON 7/31/07 I HAD A SEVERE SEIZURE AND HEAT STROKE. I WAS IN THE HOSPITAL FOR A WEEK.UPON MY RELEASE MY DOCTOR TOLD ME TO NEVER DRIVE AGAIN,AND NOT TO WORK. I NEED TO BE HOME FOR MY CHILDREN. IF I HAD GOTTEN IN OUR CAR, I COULD HAVE KILLED ALL OF US. WE I GOT HOME FROM THE HOSPITAL I FILED FOR SSI DISABILTY INSURANCE. I WAS SENT A LETTER THAT MY CASE WOULD NOT BE HEARD UNTIL DECEMBER. SINCE THEN I LOST MY CAR AND SOME HOUSEHOLD ITEMS,LIKE TV'S AND WASHER/DRYER. WE ARE GETTING FOOD STAMPS AND MEDICAL FROM THE STATE. WE ARE RENTING A HOUSE,BUT ARE FOUR MONTHS BEHIND IN RENT. THE OWNER HAS THE HOUSE UP FOR SALE/FORECLOSURE. THEY WANT TO EVICT US,BUT WE DON'T KNOW WHEN. NO ONE SHOULD HAVE TO WAIT THAT LONG FOR SSI BENEFITS. WE HAVE TO RELY ON OTHERS TO GO PLACES AND THAT'S NOT RELIABLE AT TIMES. MY KIDS NEED NEW CLOTHES AND SHOES,BUT NO MONEY FROM SSI YET. OUR UTILITIES ARE TAKEN CARE FOR NOW,BUT WON'T LAST EITHER. GETTING AROUND IS HARD FOR ME. IF I HAD A POWER SCOOTER I COULD MAKE IT TO THE STORES EASIER. I USE A WALKER FOR NOW. WE WOULD LIKE TO LIVE IN THIS HOUSE AND MY KIDS ARE DOING VERY WELL IN A SCHOOL THAT IS CLOSE TO US. WE HAVE NO MONEY FOR DOWN PAYMENT,SO WE ARE STUCK. I'VE TRIED A LOT OF OTHER PEOPLE FOR HELP,BUT NO SUCH LUCK.I DON'T KNOW IF ANYONE COULD HELP US,BUT IT WOULD BE NICE IF OUR PRAYERS COULD BE ANSWERED.WE ARE RUNNING OUT OF TIME. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

UPON MY RELEASE MY DOCTOR TOLD ME THAT I SHOULD NEVER DRIVE OR GO TO WORK. I FILED FOR SSI BENEFITS IN AUGUST,BUT I WAS TOLD THAT I WILL HAVE MY CASE INTERVIEW IN DECEMBER. WE HAVE NO MONEY SINCE I CAN'T WORK. WE SOLD A FEW THINGS TO GET SOME MONEY. WE RENT A HOME WHICH I'M THREE MONTHS BEHIND IN RENT AND NOW THE OWNER WANTS TO SELL IT. WE LOVE IT HEAR AND MY KIDS AR DOING SO GOOD IN SCHOOL. PEOPLE ARE TRYING TO HELP BUY THIS HOUSE,BUT HAVE NO MONEY.WE ARE GETTING ASSISTANCE FROM THE STATE FOR HEALTH INSURANCE AND FOOD STAMPS. OUR UTILITIES AR BEING PAID SO FAR. SSI IS TAKING TOO DARN LONG GETTING MY MONEY TO ME. MY CHILDREN ARE IN NEED OF NEW CLOTHES AND SHOES. WE HAVE TO RELY ON PEOPLE TO DRIVE US PLACES TO GET FOOD AND MEDICINE. IF I HAD A POWER SCOOTER I COULD DO THINGS ON MY OWN. I'VE TRIED OTHERS TO HELP US NO SUCH LUCK. I DON'T KNOW IF ANYONE COULD,BUT IT BE NICE IF OUR PRAYERS WERE ANSWERED. THANK-YOU
