After a severe brain injury, I have had some issues with comprehension, and unable to continue my writing career. I need to get some money while I wait for my insurance settlement.  Because I will likely get a big settlement from my accident, I really would like to get a loan to tide me over.  Because I have no income any longer, I don’t think I qualify for a regular loan. There is no guarantee I will win the lawsuit.  I have a complete wardrobe of dolce and gabbana outfits in size 10/12 – including at least a dozen genuine dolce and gabbana purses and shoes.  My collection is worth a fortune really, and I know it sounds crazy, but I wonder if I can somehow use it as collateral to get a loan. It is worth at least $20,000 in as is condition, and I only need to borrow about 5k.
