Hello Sander, actually, we have GREAT/AMAZING/FREE healthcare and financial support available to the poor and disabled here in the States (e.g. Medicaid/Welfare/Social Security). The hard part, at times, is being able to jump through all of the hoops that it takes to get it.
In Blaine's case (as in most), a lawyer who ~specializes~ in SSI and SSD needs to be retained. It's a process (and a pain) to be sure (a number of my family members have been on SSI/SSD over the years), but it can be done (and the lawyers fee is typically taken out of the first government check that arrives, and since it normally takes so many months to get the first one, there is typically enough money in that first check to cover the lawyer's fee and to live on
).So, if Blaine wants/needs to go this route (and it sounds like he should), the sooner he does so, the better. I hope that he has a family or church family member who will help him find the right lawyer (after that, the lawyer basically takes it from there
).God bless you!!

Yeah, hopefully he is covered by SSI. I feel that the hoops should be removed, and the government should easily know how much a person makes and if they need support without all the paperwork and lawyers. We have supercomputers that can now pull 10^17 - 10^18 calculations per second nowadays, why can't the government figure out how to dish out Medicare to those in need without the need for overcomplications.Hello Sander, actually, we have GREAT/AMAZING/FREE healthcare and financial support available to the poor and disabled here in the States (e.g. Medicaid/Welfare/Social Security).

Governments LOVE to talk, but they don't like to pay...why can't the government figure out how to dish out Medicare to those in need without the need for overcomplications.
He's on assistance now, but as we all know those programs have been repeatedly gutted over the last 40 years. There's not much left to be had.Hello Sander, actually, we have GREAT/AMAZING/FREE healthcare and financial support available to the poor and disabled here in the States (e.g. Medicaid/Welfare/Social Security).

still faster than @Lanolin or @Subhumanoidal, had it been Lynx he would have came out in about a minute or two lol
I was going to go to the beginning of the thread but I saw you and was like I have to speak with him first I have missed you.
The thing is there is a church I went to where I actually found the legit power of God in it but I am not good at asking for money im all for giving it but I couldn't bring myself to do it.
To be honest I am in a very bad state I am legally blind and i now have a broken foot because of course I just had to fall down my apartment stairs I lost so much wieght because I have this stomach issue where my acid reflux gets so bad I either just throw up acid or can't hold anything down even water I was promised by my family when I told them i can do this apartment thing but my health is not a joke and they promised me I had nothing to worry about and yet when
I went through that stomach issue no matter what I tried to get help and even though they kept promising they would come over with some stomach medicine for three weeks this went on until it got to the point where I lost so much weight and had no strength at all i was just stuck in my bed covered in acid and stomach fluids. I had to call 911 and go to the er three times and this was six months ago
I am still severely underwheight I lost so much of my eye sight because my health can't get better and I can't gain wieght because I can only eat food that i can either make like a sandwich or frozen things that I can heat up because i can barely see what is in front me my body lacks so much nutrition I need actual meals.
In fact for thge time I was in the hospital I got actual meals and felt so much better but I can't cook anything and my room mate is very lazy in fact we got intpo a huge fight last night because sadly since I can't see I make messes and and I try like crazy to clean but I just can't I can't even have a fork set down because I do I won't be able to see it to find it. So she hasn't cleaned at all for two weeks the kitchen is absolutely disgusting we have no clean dishes at all and honestly I haven't really been able to eat these past three days because of this I mean I could go on and on of the issues I face here but I do know I need help
ah that is probably because I was focused on a post it takes me a good while to write things
I know i was just messin with ya since your out and about and since its been a while. That plus i know how tedious it can get trying to explain stuff to people without hurting their feelings. Gotta have little breaks inbetween to avoid burnout.
it is tedious but mainly because of mty eyes i am actually a very fast typer like I scare my roomate because my keyboard makes that click noise when you type which I actually like and she thinks I am on drugs or something because even with these eyes I still can type very fast.
But this doesn't usually happen until the holy spirit takes over you have to type fast then because the words flood out
