Can you not apply for disability? Yes, that can take time but once it kicks in you should be secure about medical care and housing?

Is there a debt advice place that can help you to negotiate bills until you get disability? When I was laid off unexpectedly a debt advice place told me to contact utilities about my situation and they wrote their bills off short-term for a couple of months until the job that I was promised came through. I was shocked to find them behaving in such a reasonable manner, but the debt advice place told me that they have contingency funds for genuine cases!!!! Home loan and local tax was a massive battle, however.

It's important to keep reaching out - and that first step was crazy-making for me because I couldn't trust that anyone would be supportive.
I'm actually in New York now. I had forgotten to change my location, I had lived in Georgia for a time. But I was kicked out by my "family" and relocated. I have not begun to look into disability, but I definitely will. Never heard of debt advice, and I would be interested to learn more about that
