Group serves more breakfasts to homeless

It's another sign of these tough economic times. A New London church is serving more breakfasts to the needy than ever before.

Hi,... my name is Gary. I was injure in 2001 but was able to keep working until May of last year. I signed up for Social Security Disability benefits about a couple months after that date, when my Nuerosurgeon and Doctors said I couldnt work any longer. I have the best Nuerosurgeon in the State,(Dr. Stephen Lange), that has written letters stating that Im totally disabled. I take large amounts of Morphine daily for the pain and due to unable to work set me in a depression that Im now also getting medication.
The S.S. dept has a 3 time hearing on each case. The first 2 are from any employee of the S.S.dept., and the third is from a judge. Each time can take a year to get an answer. In that time a person goes homeless.I got denied by the Social Security on the first time in which it goes to the next stap, which Im still on at this time. Im still waiting the answer to this time around. I have been borrowing money fro friends, and family and chewed up my savings and sold everything I had.
Could you please help me before I end up on the streets unable to walk and in a shelter.
When a person has documented proof from a reliable top notch Doctor such as me, they should automatically give you your benefits that I have paid into all my life and Im 48 now. I, or anybody that has a Renowned Doctor such as myself shouldnt have to wait for their benefits.
This is what causes most of your homelessness.--Could you please help me get my benefits before I end up on the streets in a wheelchair.

Thank-you & God Bless,

Sincerely,

Gary Stager

Gary, if you can read and write in the forum than there must be some job you can work at.
Put the soup kitchen at the State Capital where the rich politicians can donate some of their money to the kettle..

Gary,
I'm just wondering if you have an attorney to help you with your SSI clam if you don't you can contact 211 and explain to them your problem there they'll give you some numbers to call. Gary you can also call social services they have help for people that are disable they help with food and rent while you fight for social security .I understand your desperation is actually your money and they give you a hard time to give it back to you when you need it ,don't give up ! I feel your pain I've been there and with this economy the way it is just makes it worst.
Sometimes you deal with people that don't care as you can read some of their comments in here that's because they never been in our shoes.They don't know how it feels to eat a piece of bread with a glass of water because you need to pay your rent and a week later you loose your light power because you didn't have enough for both bills!
God Bless ,and trust me he is also watching
