In addition, only reason I am including the phone in my fundraiser is because I normally can pay for it with my disability payments, but this month's bill falls 4 days before my next disability payment drops, so there is a risk I might not be able to cover it...and more than I depend on my mobile phone service for essentials.
It's not nearly as critical as the medical premium right now, but it is kind of important.
Either way, I yield to your empathy.
