Any shred of integrity I had left after last time is gone. Due to Social Security Administration's lack of prudence and understanding of human life, I've been forced to re-open "Preventing A Homeless Situation, Part 2". If anyone can help, that's great although you all have done enough already. Hoping you can help us spread the word further and not dig into your own pockets again for us.

Any shred of integrity I had left after last time is gone. Only in America do we make people feel shame for getting sick. Jimmy, you should not be made to feel this way. I know but I do. It's been one hell of a mountain of adversity to overcome. The most frustrating part of all of this is how long Social Security makes people wait to get benefits. If they were prudent and understood that lives hang in the balance, this wouldn't happen to me or anyone else. The next time someone sees a homeless person who appears to have some kind of disability, either physical or mental, i hope they consider the fact that the person they see is most likely in the streets because of the Social Security Administration, not because they are a lazy bum, drunk or drug addict. Our government put them there. In my letter to my Senator, I told her that if I end up on the streets, I will park my ass in my oil leaking, running on 7 cyl car right in front of the SSa building with signs in peaceful protest 24/7 until they do their jobs. I received an eviction notice today and I'll post a copy of it to the GFM site later but so far we've managed to raise just over $900 this time around. I have until the 22nd to avoid the eviction. It's a 7 day but the day served plus weekends and holidays do not count. Glad I got it on a Friday. On a happier note, I'll be publishing Greater Good GC tonight in honor of all of you who are supporting my wife and I through this hard time. Thank you.

Any updates on this? What do you guys need, and by when? Right now we have $1376. With the late fees building daily, we're at $1603 for rent. They will add $5 per day until the boot date on the 22nd. My Senator's staff (Jackie Rosen) called me again today and they want to help. I *think* they are going to try to influence SSA to release our benefits. At least that was the impression I got. They said they couldn't guarantee it but they are going to "make some calls" for us. Never in a million years did we think we'd ever be in this predicament. Worked all our lives and paid into that safety net called Social Security. Now that we need it, we can't get it. It's insane. Some amazing stuff I found out while researching this problem: - According to data obtained by The Washington Post, 10,002 people died while waiting for a hearing in FY 2017. That’s a 15 percent increase from FY 2016, when 8,699 people died while waiting for a hearing. The Social Security Inspector General found that the average age of death of claimants still waiting for a decision was 50 years old. - Over 1.1 million people were waiting for an appeal hearing at the end of FY 2016. This is my wife's current status. Evidently they didn't think 3 strokes were enough smh. Average wait times for hearings increased to 543 days in FY 2016. - Sixty-five percent of disability claims are denied the first time they are filed. This is where I'm at, waiting on a decision even though I've provided rock solid medical evidence that meets the criteria of their own "Blue Book". This process is just crazy. It resorts people to literally becoming beggars after they've worked their entire lives. It's not a look that I wear well but I've pretty much lost any dignity I had left anyway so... I've sold just about everything we own going back to January 2018 when my wife had her last stroke. Our GMC Jimmy, MacBook Pro, Apple Watch, two sets of golf clubs, treadmill, exercise bike, tons of her crafting stuff, furniture, etc. the only thing we've managed to keep is a broken car, a 60" TV, my PS4 and this desktop computer from when Lincoln was President. I did manage to get our power bill handled through a local outlet (part of that begging thing) so we will maintain power for the month. Thanks for asking bro. We'll see how it goes with the Senator's office. Feel free to share our link in any social media.

This would be terrible in one of the worst economies in the world like a Saharan Africa country, but when this kind of thing is happening in one of, if not the biggest economies of the world then there is something seriously wrong.
I hope you and the family get a positive conclusion Jimmy.

Jimmy, keep me updated. I’ll pay the DAM electric bills for you if I have to. Stay strong! Thanks Eric. I updated the GFM page to let everyone know we raised enough to avoid eviction this month. Also got help paying utilities and car insurance. Hoping we get some good news before February becomes a problem. Thanks to everyone here for their support, you all have no idea how much it means to us and how grateful we are.

It's quite disgraceful when you really stop to think about it, you shouldn't be having to do this. Hope your situation improves soon.
