I contacted my congressperson about my Social Security situation.

7. Well Supplementary Income is very difficult to get

You have to be beyond poor to get it, especially if you're in a red state. Red states set very difficult standards for SI.

But Disability can be gotten usually on appeal. My spouse was denied twice before they got a lawyer and won on appeal. But the good thing is Social Security will pay you all the way back to when you first applied so that you can pay your lawyer from that lump sum. Some states have laws on how much lawyers can charge for help with Social Security Disability.

Keep trying, don't give up.

Also, some folks here have had success with crowd funding sites to help them make ends meet.

This is just temporary. You are just in a rough spot. I was where you were 25 years ago and things did turn around.
