There are parts of the original post that have been deleted to save space. The post without this edit has been archived here.I’m a 21 y/o woman and I’m physically disabled; it’s completely impossible for me to sit up or walk without causing grave physical harm.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 and can only travel
through paramedic transport; 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.
I’ve now received enough donations to cover the $810 originally requested, thank you so much to everyone who has donated or reblogged the post.
I’m still accepting donations and my fundraiser is ongoing
because it’s going to take a while to get government services in place.
For instance, I applied for government housing 3 months ago at the
beginning of May and the housing office still hasn’t even begun
assessing my application. Any extra donations will similarly go towards
essentials only.My regular expenses include: approx. $441/week
per week for assistance from a carer, $200/week instalments for
paramedic transport invoice from around November 2015, approx. $100/week
instalments to previous home care agencies and $490/week in rent.I would appreciate any donations to help with those costs and they can be made through
one of these options. Thank you.– PayPal donations page (PayPal account not required)
