I kinda know how you feel. I've been fighting for disability for 6 years now with no source of income. If it wasn't for my wife and mom, who it's also disabled, I'd probably be homeless already. The last six or so months have been a perfect storm of crap that came together to force me to start the entire process over from the beginning. My case had gone before 2 judge and then was remanded and denied in November. My lawyer quit on me in order to take care of his wife and I sent in a request for an extension. The lawyer he referred me to held my paperwork until the last few days of February when I got my letter back saying they gave me a 30 day extension. Needless to say I couldn't find another lawyer willing to take my case with only 30 days left to read my case and file the necessary paperwork. Then while I'm fighting a horrible case of depression and the disability problem my neighbor committed suicide in the last few days of November, a close friend jumped off a bridge on Jan 23, my dog of 14 years died in my arms on Feb 19, and my uncle passed away on April 16. So I wish you luck in finding a way to get out of the crap hole you're in.

Whoa, sorry to hear about all the bad news as well. Seems a lot of us are having some struggles, but that is quite a ridiculous amount of tension and stress to deal with on top of already being sick. I think that's the hardest part of making "cases" for ourselves, instead of records just taken for what they are to decide things. A lot of people end up just having too much going on just to battle to survive in some areas and give up. That's what they are counting on I guess.... Sad how focused everything is on sick people being "scammers" and criminals and stuff. It's like... max $720 or so here... per month! Can't even pay rent here with that! It's stupid silly when there are many making billions in just straight interest (not to mention the PAC donors here throwing tens of millions into politics for hundred million dollar tax breaks! I won't go on, but it's disgusting! I'll never see that amount of money on just the part off the top these numbskulls are holding onto.
So yeah, I can kind of feel your pain, since I've had a mountain of bad luck hit me recently, in the past month or two. Thankfully I still have internet, food, shelter, and things like that... but yeah, I'd be on the streets if I didn't have family or friends. It's pretty sad when a country with such abundant resources will just throw all the responsibility on others instead of taking on responsibility for their own burdens. It's not totally their fault I got sick, but neither is it mine. I mean... just let us die in comfort if we're that sick. I don't want a lot. Just the basic human rights stuff that is flagrantly/flippantly ignored in US here. Beyond that, I don't want handouts. I already feel bad taking what I have to take, since it's shameful to be at the bottom and need things, so everyone wants to look down on us... or something to that effect.
The law system is a perfect example. Hard to get any free help, and if one pays, it gets expensive as hell when little nickel and dime charges get added into the mix... and it's dragged out just for extra money sometimes. I wish these judges would have deadlines as well, if they expect it from us... seems every part of the system is biased if one looks at it. I hope you can eventually get your case through and that the right people hear it for you to at least stay afloat and have some kind of income and more rights. Money doesn't buy happiness, but it does give us advantages and chances we don't have otherwise... plus I'm sure the guy that said that first had plenty of resources at their disposal, including enough cash to not stress out about what the next day of their "mini-hell" might bring. Hard not to be depressed at least a little in these kinds of situations. I'd be alarmed if somebody wasn't! Stay with it and don't give up if you can make it through.
I hope all this works itself out for each of us and makes some sense at the end of the day. Thanks and good luck...

This part is only for people who want to know more, and like reading. Please skip if you don't like information:
My question is:
What countries are more accepting of people in danger in their own countries? Are there rescue places that are charitable? How long do you need to remain there, and is it possible to exist with the basics if you are disabled and have a hard time working at all? Any thoughts? Other ideas to think about if I decide to renounce my citizenship here?
Please keep discussion related to my questions. Or something directly related to the title subject. Thank you!
P.S. If keys don't work, blame America. Thanks!
