I hate doing outcries like this - especially around the holidays. But my situation has gotten worse.

My lawyer hadn't received my disability denial as of early this week - which means I haven't been able to start accumulating evidence for the appeal. The appeal I have 60 days from NOVEMBER 12TH to complete.

That's right - it's been almost a month since I received the denial (and I did contact my lawyer, but they can't do anything without THEIR copy, addressed TO them, so I can't just bring him mine). It sucks majorly.

Anyway, so I get a call from my lawyer -they have the denial, and they need new, updated evidence in my case. It looks like part of the reason I was denied is that the x-rays used to diagnose my condition are old. Two years old. And therefore don't show a progression of the disease over time that would account for the amount of pain that I'm reporting being in.

Here's the issue: I don't have traditional insurance. What I have covers my low-cost clinic and prescriptions (not my narcotic pain pills, though - those are $1 a pill, so $120 a month - and not my hormones, which are $150 every 3 months or so, and are required for my mental stability and well-being), but doesn't generally cover specialists.

I need to get a full spinal X-ray ($150), and probably try once again to get an MRI because the nerve damage that causes me to have limited usage of my hands regularly is getting worse and more frequent. I've lost almost a hundred pounds and nearly ten inches since the last time, so hopefully I'll fit in the machine this time. But the MRI will be $500.

I have to get all of this money together BEFORE I can have the procedures...and my hormones run out next week. I need to reorder those.

I have $1.67 to my name at the moment and no income.

Please...I'm not asking for any things, this holiday season, even though there are things I need. But my health and this last chance at getting disability is...this is it. This is the most important thing in my life. This will ensure that I don't have to keep begging for help. That I can take commissions as they come in and do them. That I can do things to give back to the community that's been supporting me through this entire ordeal.

I need at least $700 in the next few days so I can get these procedures done before the holidays interrupt mail traffic and risk me ending up with a denial because I was late with the appeal information.

Please...if you have anything to spare - any cash at all - PLEASE send it to me. I don't normally just outright say that...but so much is riding on this, and the stress is about to tear me apart.

I'd love commissions - feel free to commission me. Just know that it takes a long time due to the aforementioned nerve damage in my hands. Flat colors I can probably get done before the holidays. Anything more detailed and it will take much, much longer.

Please...my wife can't handle much more of this stress, and she's still recovering from her strokes last year. Her birthday is next Wednesday and I can't even afford to buy her a gift, let alone anything for the holidays. Since we lost our cat this time last year, things just...it's so bleak right now.

I need help. I need friends. I need support.

Please...if you can spare anything. It would make a world of difference to me. Even if you just share, reblog, whatever - do something to signal boost this post. Get it in front of more eyes - more people who can help.

I hate begging. The holidays used to be my favorite time of year, but right now...I'm scared, I'm lost, and I've never felt so alone and so crushed by time and financial pain. I'm not even asking for the car payment I know is due next week - I'd rather be late on my car payment and get my disability appeal in on time.

Thank you all for absolutely anything you can do.
