I served our nation and now need help
Posted: Sat Sep 26, 2015 6:20 am
I am also a 45 year old father, husband, veteran of three years and a former federal employee of ten years. I never regretted working fulltime to support myself and my family for nearly forty years. During my ten years of federal service with TSA, I developed both sociological and psychological conditions (as a result of my job) medically forcing me out of TSA and making me unemployable.
In December 2014 I applied for disability retirement from TSA. I also applied for Social Security Disability retirement (which has been denied twice). Of course I still haven't received either. Recently my wife contacted a lawyer and was informed it will be 9 to 12 months before we get a hearing for SOCIAL SECURITY.
My wife has been corresponding with our state legislation and the governor, to ask for their help expediting the state and federal processes. Feeling extreme frustration I even wrote the President for help from the White House.
We get food assistance from N.M. but just started receiving financial assistance from N.M., which is so small it isn't enough. We get 240 dollars financial assistance which doesn't even fully pay or home loan.
We don't indulge in any activities or make any purchases that can be considered as luxury, we use my phone as our internet, no propane, no trash service, we don't go out to eat drink or movies, no blockbuster no Redbox, we don't have cable or satellite nor landline phone service. We haven't purchased clothing, tires, underclothing, socks, etc.
As a result of our frustrations, I am reaching out hoping you view a gofundme account my wife initially set up for us to help with the repair the head gasket on her 13 year old vehicle and fuel pump on my 11 year old vehicle.
We quickly found out us that we didn't consider home and car insurance, gas, loans, utilities, phone service, toiletries etc.
Please help we would appreciate anything.
