hello

 

today is friday, february 20th.  we have no food and no money to buy food.  we are almost 2 months behind in rent and we will face eviction and end up on the street. our electricity is goingto be shut off.  my cat is sick and i cannot afford to take her to the vet to get help.  she will die without medication.

i have 2 pills left of medication i need to keep me alive.  i have no money to get the medication i need.  i am very very depressed and dont know where to turn anymore. 

we are a family of 3.  i am a world trade center survivor and was in tower 2 on 9/11.  every day i still suffer from nightmares and fears from that day and have been struggling ever since.  we left ny because of this and are trying to make it here in florida but still having severe difficulties.

i was sick for 2 years, in and out of hospitals and had 2 mini strokes.  i have diabetes and a blood disorder.  i need medication every day and cannot afford to buy it.    i need this medication to keep me alive.  i was so sick my husband had to care for me since i couldn't walk or take care of myself and as a result lost our home. 

both my husband and daughter lost their jobs  and we are struggling to pay bills.  we are on disconnects with our utilities and cannot pay our rent.  we will  be evicted.   we also have pets that need care.

i have no family to turn to as both my parents have passed away. 

i have been very depressed and cry all the time.  it is a constant struggle and we dont know where to turn anymore. 

we arent looking to buy things for ourselves, just to pay our bills and not be thrown in the street. 

thank you.

denise

Hello, Money, Medical Care and Job Training for Federal Employee Victims Federal civilian employees who were injured while on duty from the World Trade Center /Pentagon attacks or subsequent rescue operations are covered by the Federal Employees' Compensation Act. Surviving spouses of Federal employees and dependent children are also entitled to benefits, as are rescue workers who have been deputized by the Federal Emergency Management Administration (FEMA). Federal employees with traumatic injuries are entitled to up to 45 days of continued pay, and after that can receive up to 75 percent of their salary as long as they are disabled. The compensation also includes all necessary medical care for the effects of injury and vocational rehabilitation as needed. Survivors are entitled to between 50 - 75 percent of the deceased employee's pay, based on the number of dependents. Search and rescue workers, when deputized by FEMA, are entitled to the same benefits as Federal workers for injuries while involved in the emergency activities. To Obtain Forms and Filing Claims: 866-999-3322; New York Claims From WTC; 212-337-2037; Claims Can Be Faxed To: 212-337-2663. I hope this helps. GOD BLESS
