Post Body

If I go on government disability I'm looking at losing about 90% of my income, I have a child, I'm only 26. I have had a massive stroke and anueyrism leaving a nice black spot of permanent encephalomalacia. I don't have any family here,I grew up in foster care between walvis swakop and anywhere else someone was willing to keep me for a while. I don't want to be posting my name and face all over Facebook begging for pity. Is disability a death sentence here? I won't be able to pay my medical aid if I go on disability and the tests and procedures I need to manage this are not available through the state, I was in katatura stroke unit and they helped me as far as they could. I still have a bloodclot in my brain that's preventing oxygen from traveling to where it should be. Any idvice will be appreciated
