Happy Holidays..one of our own needs some help [View all]

We have the opportunity to help a DUer. We have helped John before. His situation is in a holding pattern waiting on his appeal for Social Security Disability Income (SSDI). With Trump eliminating jobs at Social Security, the entire process takes longer than before.

John has shared his medical history, the names of doctors, hospital, etc. Not the mark of a scammer. With that in mind, Marta and I are donating again.

I hope you all will consider helping someone that has nowhere else to turn at this time of the year. Even small donations help.

Also, an R so this gets attention would be a great help.

Peace.

John (JMCKUSICK) has posted about his situation in detail here: https://www.democraticunderground.com/10182260645
