I am disabled and receive disability. I am currently taking chemo medicine and my husband has had a stroke and heart attack. He is currently trying to get on disability. We need temporary financial assistance for the next month until we go to court for his disability determination in January 2020. We need assistance for gas money to get to doctors appointments, rent, utilities. We do not have children due to medical reasons. Thank you for your time and consideration in this matter. I know that there are many right now asking for help so any help at all is greatly appreciated.
