Grossed out

I made it through the recent storm.
It was a doozy!
I lost my fence which is close to 80' long and I managed to find someone to come over and shore it up for the time being.

About two years ago I was given a small generator to use due to my disability.

Yesterday, I heard from someone that thinks they should have one too as they have "MS-like symptoms".

I can never understand WHY someone would hope they have multiple sclerosis to get a few things here and there.

Being my condition is greatly affected by the temperature, I get help from the power company.

I resent others that attempt to play the system to get things they want and don't care to pay for.

This person has the ability to pay for a generator, I know that much.

In the meantime, that fence is going to cost a lot of money to replace. So far the insurance is offering me a few crumbs and I have to fight it out with them. I am in no great condition to have to argue with anyone right now.

How difficult would it be to set-up a Go Fund Me account to help with some of these expenses, including a bed I had to buy on doctor's orders? The adjustable bed I had was made in China and there was basically no warranty on it and it was falling apart. They hauled that away the other day for $25 and delivered the new bed. It seems to be better but its difficult to really tell as I'm in so much pain from the illness and the bad fall I took last week.

Given all of the losses from last year due to the death of my husband and my income being cut almost in half, I don't know how long I can hang-on like this.

I seem to be ok but I still have face pain from where my glasses hit me and bruised my face up.

Thank you everyone for your support. It means a lot to me.

3. I am trying to do this now

It says it is paused pending review.

Is this normal?

I know nothing about setting something like this up and so many issues at hand.

4. Sadly. I don't know

I've never done it. I must admit I'm thinking of setting one up due to disability, a 14k debt, rent and other assorted issues iI'm undergoing.
