We have a DUer facing being homeless. John has had our help before. Thanks to Trump cutting Social Security with Musk's help, John's appeal for Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) is being dragged out, even more than was normal before the personnel cuts.
Here is John's post from yesterday in the Lounge: https://www.democraticunderground.com/10182191591
John has always shared what is going on with his SSDI case and his health. We know where he lives. With that in mind, we believe him.
Marta and I kicked in a little this morning: https://gofund.me/9c6496b2
From John's update: If anyone is in a position to put together a proposal where I can repay conditioned on final approval of my disability claim.
With that in mind, we are going to arrange for a small loan to John. We are making a leap of faith.
Can we as a community keep john in his home until he gets his SSDI? He has nowhere else to turn.
IF you can't donate, please give this a kick and an R for visibility.

Wish I was able to assist. I hope DU comes together for one of our own.

(3,117 posts)2. Thank you OmahaSteve and everyone else
who I know have extended your care, kind wishes and words and financial help.
It means so much that so many "strangers", some who I now count as friends and all who I've adopted as family, have given and continue to help however they can.
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you
