Macular degeneration disability and behind on bills

[Ethan]

Good day to you. My name is Kimberly, and I live in Milford, MI. I am reaching out to you for some assistance. I've exhausted what list I was given. I have been diagnosed with Macular Degeneration in both my eyes and have a challenging time seeing. I receive continual treatment injections to help reduce the swelling in my right eye, but I still have issues seeing due to the symptoms of AMD.
AMD is not curable but can be slowed down. Eventually, I will go blind. I also suffer from Neuropathy in my left leg which causes issues with standing for a lengthy period. On top of this, I have severe anemia and have received four blood transfusions since 2017 (most recently last March 2026) and suffer from fatigue. As of 7/29, I have been off work via FMLA and am working with an attorney's office to file for SSI disability. Unfortunately, it comes at a price of not being paid. My older brother and sister moved in with me from California in June. It took them a while, but they have both just now found work and started back to work as of yesterday. They will not receive a check until the end of the month. Unfortunately, two of my utility bills have gone unpaid and shut-off notices are coming in. I
just need assistance in getting that covered before 9/28 when my power will be shut off. My electric bill (which is under my other sister's name who does not live here) has a balance of $592.89 and our internet bill is $156. Next month should be a better month for us when my brother and sister start getting a regular check and when my disability kicks in, if approved, I will be receiving that within a year. I just need help in getting the utilities paid. We have been going to a food pantry twice now and we were told that twice is all we can do in a month.
I hope you can help me. My other sister, who does not live with us, has helped as much as she can and stated she regretfully cannot anymore.
I appreciate any help and understanding. Please either call me or email back to let me know if this is possible. We've already decided when things get better, we will be donating time and money for all the help we've been given so far. Thank you for reading).
Respectfully yours,
Kimberly

Hello, my name is Margaret. I am emailing you today trying to see if it’s possible to get assistance in paying my rent this month as I am filing for disability due to Macular degeneration.
I live in Camarillo; California and I am 52 years old. I am on leave of absence since October, 2024. I work full-time for Target, but I’ve been having medical issues, one being I have double vision in my eyes that is from the Macular condition. I have filed with EDD for temporary disability and am waiting for the doctor certification for approval.
And I haven’t been able to pay my rent this month and I have a car payment that’s due $425. I will be going back to work within the next couple weeks. I’m hoping I’m still awaiting new glasses that have to have a prism included in the lens to help with my double vision from the Macular degeneration. I would appreciate any assistance I can get or if you could lead me in the right direction for help thanks in advance for your consideration and have a great night.

Dear Sir/Madam:
I am a certified Nursing Assistant in the state of Florida, Lakeland. The past few months have been very difficult for me as I’m a senior and was dismissed from my job due to a disability. I have macular degeneration and so it is hard to see from one eye. This did not interfere with my work, as I was very good with my patients. Now now I was forced to file disability, FMLA and now I am behind on all my bills, including medical, due to the Macular degeneration.
Due to this discovery, my employee let me go. As a result, I’m unable to pay for my bills. I am asking for any help I can get with medical, eye care and housing. I am in an apartment where it’s far too expensive due to the loss of job and would benefit from a low income housing.
Please, my rent is due. Any help I can get would be greatly appreciated.
