I’m 21 and bedridden.$911 USD has to be raised within 4 hrs by 3am Oct 21 EST to pay for disability care bills + rent.
Only $61 have been raised today. Without enough funds, I will eventually be forced onto the street.
I’m physically disabled, confined to my bed, extremely weak etc. I’ve had an absolutely horrid year, in that I’ve repeatedly had to deal with being harassed for my disability in terrifying ways by people with institutional power against whom I cannot attempt to bring criminal charges. Right now, I just want some help to maintain hold on my housing and disability care until the government’s support kicks in, hopefully within the month. Because there’s extreme scarcity of accessible shelter, I have to live in an expensive place, for which I was invoiced $1150 yesterday. I also need help with $458 needed for food + disability support workers’ pay. I cannot stress enough that I simply won’t survive without financial help. I’ve had close to no donations for days and I would really appreciate even a dollar or a few cents. Thank you.
UPDATE: There is now also two bills totaling $279 I have to pay within 20 hrs by 3am Oct 21 for home care. Avoiding payment delays will help me to retain highly skilled carers whom I value.

I’m not going to lie, it’s extremely physically and emotionally taxing to run this fundraiser, to basically say the same thing in different ways over and over again every single day without fail, and if i do fail, then I will have no protection against being dragged out onto the street, or being denied healthcare. It makes me angry that people see me suffer as someone who is only 21 and becoming weaker while having been stuck in bed for years, without being willing to do anything about it. I’ve raised huge amounts at certain points during this fundraiser, but that was only when things became dangerous for me, and that sort of situation would likely have just never happened if I received adequate and consistent donations. I want people to understand that economic deprivation that delays healing to the point of permanent immobilisation is almost the same as deliberately imprisoning someone arbitrarily, and denying me financial support to the point of putting me in danger of economically “justified” violence is being complicit with the violent person. I understand that not everyone can donate, and not many other people are in great financial situations either, but I am just asking for a reblog, which could really help change my situation.
In other words i’ve been getting next to no donations, particular in latter parts of the day, and am a week behind on bills that my life is dependent on.
