I am a single mother of a 14 year old boy. I have always been a hard worker. I now find myself sick with a chronic disease. I can no longer work. I have a chronic lung disease which renders me with not enough breath to make the bed. I have filed for Social Security. I am now in my second appeal. No! I am not lazy! I am sick and now about destitute. My concern is for my son. I can no longer support him on my own. I have worked since I was 14 years old. I have paid in to the s.s. system. I should not have to feel ashamed or intimidated. I deserve respect and dignity, and so does my child!
