I want to start up an non-profit organization that helps women (which I need a building for and need funding for it ) but am wondering if I go full time with it how do I pay my own bills?

Keep applying for the SSDI since the longer they hold out, the more you will receive in the long run. Do not let the application expire. If you do so, you will loose out on past monies that could be due you.

If the doctor says he is disable, then stick with the applications, and keep them current.

Before going into any type of business, especially where you have to rent or buy a building, would of course require capitol. Capitol that you obtain may be from fund raising, employment, donations, loans, and other resources.

Never use your own personal money, that you use on a daily basis to pay your bills, and provide for you family, since that could leave you in the hole at any given moment, if the business is not sucessful.
