DU'ers...goodgirl and I desperately need your help. Please Read

My wife had to work late on New Year's Eve. She called me at 1100pm to say she was on her way home. She knocked on the door around 1115pm and I remember opening the door....

The next thing I know, I'm sitting on the sofa, and my wife is in hysterics, sobbing uncontrollably. "What the fuck is going on?!" I screamed.

"You don't remember?" she said through tears.

"No!"

"You had a seizure"

And that's how I found out that I had epilepsy when I had a tonic-clonic (grand mal) seizure in front of my wife. She called the EMT's and I rang in the New Year with an o2 mask on my face and a blood pressure cuff on my arm.

The medicine I take makes me extremely tired and unable to think clearly and concentrate. I can hardly get up in the morning. I asked the owners at my work to change my schedule so that I only worked in the afternoon/evening, and instead they mocked my condition, & made the schedule worse for me by giving me two 10-8 days in a row, which eliminated my short (10-3) day.

Last Friday I had an appointment to see my dentist about getting my wisdom teeth out. Dr. C is a customer of mine, and since I gave him a good deal he was going to take care of the cost of the surgery for me.

On my way out there I started to feel weird, so I pulled over..it was 130pm. When I came to, it was 250pm. I don't remember anything.
I found a little motel for 25.00 (one of those Walker Inn's) and fell asleep until well past 11pm.

The next morning I was on time to work. The owner, who is not typically in on Sat. came over to my desk and I gave him my x-rays, motel receipt, doctor's note, told him I was sorry I didn't call, but I couldn't.

He told me "your services are no longer required here"

5 years.
1.5 m in sales each year
80% closing ratio

They even reversed the direct deposit of my paycheck the day before, causing us to incur over 600.00 in overdraft fees in one shot.

We're in serious financial jeopardy right now. We're on the verge of losing everything. All expenses totaled come out to around $6000.00, which would leave us just enough to pay for daily living expenses until the end of the month. I was supposed to pay our rent and sign a new lease today, but I was able to get one more day out of them....the others will not wait. I've got 24 hours at the most.

We only have two options:

1. Secure a personal loan. (don't know anyone capable, but I would pay it back at 9.99%)

2. Ask for help from our friends online. (more possible, but would take time...and we don't have that luxury)

Also, since our checking acct is -2500.00, any donations would have to be sent via Western Union, because the funds are available immediately. All you need is my Name, City, and phone number.

So that's it.
It could be anywhere from 30-90 days before I get any benefits. Same for Worker's Comp. We're on the edge of seeing everything we have disappear. Thank you for listening.

Please, DU. Help us if you can.
