Personal storytelling project
Who would have known that rock bottom had a basement?
Six years waiting on SSDI. Three kids. No EBT. Eviction pressure. A system that says disabled people can’t legally work their way out. Inside the Sneakers is the story of being trapped, judged, and still trying to climb back from the place most people only see for one second at a stoplight.
What this is
This is the public notebook for what happened, what it cost, and what it takes to keep moving when every system tells you to wait.
Some people see the sign. This project is about the person inside the sneakers holding it.
The moment things started falling apart — housing pressure, money delays, and the slow grind of being ignored.
Posts, updates, and proof of what happened, written in plain language without polishing the pain out of it.
A living story about making it through the basement of rock bottom and finding the stairs back up.
Receipts & timeline
This section is where the public record grows: posts, dates, documents, updates, and context. The latest Medium posts below sync automatically from the feed.
The first post frames the beginning: the moment it felt like the world had crumbled.
Inside the Sneakers turns the chaos into a readable story people can follow, share, and support.
Future updates can include documents, photos, timelines, and posts as the story develops.
Auto-synced from Medium
When a new Medium post goes live, GitHub checks the feed and refreshes this section automatically.
If this is the first run, the posts will appear after the sync workflow finishes.
Direct support
Support goes toward immediate needs while this project documents the bigger picture: food, shelter, stability, and the fight to get back above water.
No platform maze. No middleman story filter. Just direct support and a public record.
