Hi,
I'm new to this group and want to introduce myself. i'm 51, had a heart attack in 2005, went into cardiac arrest and now suffer with congestive heart failure. i'm on disability but only receive $463 a month from SS, i've been able to manage up until now and find myself not being able to pay bills and some medicines because of lack of funds. i'd love to work ( i was in carpentry before) but find it a bit impossible to find the right job. i'm a liability in most cases and often find myself dizzy and faint, needless to say out of breath is a common companion. i don't think i'd be able to manage a full 8 hr day at the ofice type deal for reason of fatigue and the obvious health reasons. i've tried to get medicaid, but was denied, you need to be broke broke to qualify, i think in the range of $759 per month. my wife makes more than that, but so much goes to my meds that rent is impossible. dire situation to say the least.
i want to know if anyone has found suitable jobs which can be performed at home, especially internet oriented. if anyone could lead me in the right direction, i'd be grateful. i'm definately not into any scam type work, i.e. mlm and the likes. also any advice on obtaining grants to live or how to get more to live on from our great government would be appreciated. i'm desperate and open to anything, i've tried so many different leads that i've run out of steam of where to proceed next. please help me to get by.
thank you

out2kat, 1 week ago | FlagDavid, I am in a bad way myself fighting to get what I have contribute
d to my entire life .... incase I became disabled. I would like to demand a REFUND of all the deductions taken from my pay every week. If I knew I would have to fight like this and suffer in agony, I would have refused to let them take the darn deductions had I known. What's that ......oh yea ...... we had NO CHOICE wether to participat e or not. Getting into the disability system is a nightmare and we have so little support, while the government delays. Unbelievab le and an insult to our intellegen ce. I have no ideas just yet but will let you know if I figure something out ........ hang in David ....... there are alot of us !!! Marilyn
