I’m severely disabled and I need some help immediately with $810 in payments for home care / patient transport / other essentials.

ETA: I’ve received $180 so far. There are $630 left to raise.

I’m a 21 y/o woman and I’m physically disabled; it’s completely impossible for me to sit up or walk without causing grave physical harm. See: @fundraiser-evidence. As a result, I need daily home care (abt $30/hr) and can only travel through paramedic transport ($200/week instalments for invoices of approx $2000 per specialist appointment); these are beyond what I can afford with my $336/week social security payment.

There are dire consequences if financial constraints prevent me from accessing home care and paramedic transport. If I don’t get home care, it’d be impossible to maintain a basic level of cleanliness and dignity. If I don’t keep paying my paramedic invoice instalments, I lose access to transport; this could leave me stranded in a dangerous environment if I meet someone who mistreats me for being disabled… which has happened on 3 times in the past 12 months. It’s been difficult to get enough donations this week and I’m concerned that I won’t be able to access these essential services.

These expenses over the next two days add up to $810… EDIT: I had hoped to raise the amount by the bank’s closing time yesterday/Friday but it wasn’t possible. I still need this rather urgently. Also, to condense this post, I’ve put the list of expenses on a separate post. Some of these have been listed on previous donation posts but I didn’t manage to raise enough to cover them. this post re-iterates the amounts I have left to raise.

I would greatly appreciate any donations and they can be made through one of these options. Any amount is alright! Donations of $5 or less will still accumulate into the amount that I need.

– PayPal donations page (PayPal account not required)
– PayPal.me (PayPal account required, no fees for PayPal balance transfers)
– PayPal transfer to romana2252 at gmail dot com

This is really serious and I wouldn’t have spent hours writing and rewriting the post if it didn’t feel like a desperate situation. Please donate something if you can. Thank you.
