My Daughter’s Transplant Expenses

Hoping for a miracle here.

Yes, this is for my daughter’s transplant funds as outlined in the GFM. We will need to uproot ourselves for 3-4 months, and to do so on short notice. Unless a qualifying living donor comes along, in which case we may be able to ctually schedule and plan a bit.

However, as you may have seen in other iterations of this post, we seem to be constantly in the negative. Too many bills, not enough money, no matter how hard I try to change that. Trying to keep a functioning household is expensive. And it’s important to keep a level of functioning: washer/dryer, car (some months we have one regular therapy appointment for her brother; other times we have one appointment every weekday). Post-transplant we need a transplant safe environment, which means as close to hospital clean as I can make it.

My daughter was molested by my ex husband. We live in a house owned by his family. Threats to evict us occur regularly.

We want to move out of here, away from their control, but we’re lucky to survive here.

I know it’s asking a lot to ask random, probably equally broke, people on the Internet to rescue us.

But I find I can’t give up the hope.

New year, new month, fresh suffering.

We are supposed to go back to Seattle Children’s Hospital for a yearly check in/checkup (good idea but also required to keep her on the transplant list).

I don’t know how we’ll manage it.

Every day it gets worse.

 

Losing compensation could become a literal death sentence

0 Comments

skagra3482:

Years ago, an accident left me bedbound. I’ve since been institutionalised, assaulted, evicted, and deliberately starved/dehydrated nearly to death.

Without compensation, I could face these dangers repeatedly my entire life, until one of them KILLS me.

ONLY 2 HOURS LEFT to raise the final **$1,441** for legal fees. Tonight (Jan 3) is my LAST CHANCE. PLEASE HELP ME.

  • An accident left me permanently
    bedbound and in need of 24-hour care      [Medical reports]. 
  • Compensation is my ONCE-IN-A-LIFETIME chance to guarantee
    healthcare and escape neglect
  • I could be killed by dehydration if carers don’t provide food/water to my bed; homelessness would kill me and I can’t rent without paid cleaning. 
  • After the accident I’ve NEVER been more than months from becoming homeless or living in serious danger. I’ve just been evicted AGAIN.
  • The rest of my life will depend on access to medicolegal assessments. To transfer payment before the deadline on Monday, the funds MUST be raised TONIGHT. 
  • I also need
    $300+ for urgent dental care
  • Delays could: BREACH COURT DEADLINES, lose my compensation case,
    and require me to pay $20,000+ in
    Defendant’s legal fees.
    It’ll also RUIN THE REST OF MY LIFE.

**PLEASE READ/SIGNAL BOOST**

Hey all, as many of you may or may not know, I’ve been struggling a lot these past few months with my government and benefits. And I know that I have another donation post circulating but I still desperately need help to get by. I’m currently on benefits and I just before Christmas, my benefit was sanctioned and reassessed due to my mental illnesses. 

My benefit comes back in full a the end of January (25th) and until then I really need help to get groceries and keep my electricity and gas meters on throughout this month.

If anyone can spare anything at all to help me get by, even just a £1/$1, please consider it.

Thank you 🙏💖💖

Losing this court case would destroy the rest of my life

I’m bedbound. Without compensation to fund my care, I risk FATAL DEHYDRATION & HOMELESSNESS.

To fund medicolegal fees etc, $1772 must be raised by tomorrow night. Any delays could destroy my court case.

  • An accident left me permanently bedbound and in need of 24-hour care  [Medical reports]. 
  • Compensation is my ONCE-IN-A-LIFETIME chance to guarantee healthcare and escape neglect. 
  • Otherwise, I could be deprived of life-sustaining care
    • I could be killed by dehydration alone if carers don’t provide food/water to my bed
    • I could be evicted and left to face deadly homelessness, unless cleaning is done by carers
  • The medicolegal assessments would help decide my compensation
  • ONLY 3 DAYS left to raise the remaining $2232 by Jan 3 (ET). I’m also raising $600 for urgent dental treatment 
  • Delays could lead to: breaching court mandated service dates, losing the compensation claim, and paying OVER $20,000 in Defendant’s legal costs.

severely disabled, crucially need new phone to maintain independence and ability to leave the flat

elimgarakofficial:

hey. i’m afraid i really have to ask for help, again. 

i’m once again trying to raise funds for a new phone, because my old phone has started just shutting off at random and showing an empty battery despite being at 80% charge two minutes previously. 

previous fundraising attempts did not work out as well as i’d hoped and then the money had to go towards food, rent and other necessary expenses. i’d been living from crisis to crisis for 11 months and had absolutely no financial security. now that i’m securely housed again, i want to fix the next big problem: the fact i can’t depend on my phone to work, and thus could likely get stranded far from home.

i’m a gay, gender non-conforming/trans jew living in poverty. i’m severely disabled due to chronic pain, chronic fatigue, nerve damage, psychosis and severe ADHD. my mobility is awful, so i have to rely on my phone to a) get around safely b) get transportation back home quickly if i suddenly crash in the middle of an errand c) get to and from shabbat services, currently my only regular social contact. last time my phone shut off with no warning, i almost ended up stranded in town after dark, during a cold snap.

i’ve set up a ko-fi, so donations go here. even £3 helps immensely and eventually i hope it’ll all add up to enough to afford a decent phone with a good battery life.

i’m aiming to raise about £700 total, so i can afford a dependable model.

there’s some more info under the readmore.

Keep reading

i know i’ve not been around much, but part of that is that i’ve been busy and part is that i’m kind of getting worse in terms of illness and i don’t have the fucks to spend on tumblr rn. please reblog and/or donate, bc i’m desperate at this moment and i really don’t want to have to stay within a block of my flat for the foreseeable future. i want to at least be able to attend shabbat services. :(

Help me keep access to my son

This is me and my son.

He’s the best kid in the world. He’s 10 years old, autistic, and charming as heck. I love spending time with him.

I just found out just a couple of days ago that my ex–my son’s other mom–is suing me for full custody of our son because I am living in California rather than Massachusetts (even though she knows I have been working hard to move back). In order to avoid losing the case out of hand, I need to move back to Massachusetts much sooner than anticipated–early February rather than late August– to avoid losing access to my son.

My son is the most important person in my life. I talk to him every day and I do everything I can to see him as often as possible. I am hoping to go back to having him live with me 2-3 days per week once I am back east, since that is what I did before.

For the past several years I have been disabled and unable to work. After years of struggling I moved across the country in 2016 to be with my (ex) partner who said they would take care of me and make sure I would be able to see my son as often as I needed to. That relationship ended because they were abusive, leaving me stranded and broke in San Diego.

Since then, I have gotten help for my disability and I am working again and going back to school. I am rebuilding my life. I am making just enough to pay for my own rent and food and I can put a little bit aside. I will have just enough money in cash and loans in early february to rent a van and move myself and my best friend/partner back to New England, but I can’t do it safely without a little bit more money.

This is a bare bones, budget move where I will arrive with almost nothing to move into a new apartment and barely enough money to pay rent.

I am putting in $4300, which breaks down to:

$800  Van Rental
$400 Gas and Tolls
$400 Hotels and Food for 5 days
$2700 Move in rent and security for the new apartment

I still need at least another $2500 by early February:

$800 furniture so that my son can have a place to live with me
$700 expenses for while I am finding a job
$1000 retainer for my lawyer, just to get started

I will continue to work as hard as I can to make it happen even if I don’t reach my goal, but I really don’t want to end up being homeless after all of this.

Please help as much as you can. My son is so important to me and I can’t even imagine losing him.

please help! This is my paypal (paypal.me/effingsorceress)

I’ve raised $60 so far, which is really awesome (thank you!), but I have a long way to go. Please help if you can!

At $100 now! Thank you all so much.

I’ve also added a GoFundMe page: https://www.gofundme.com/help-me-keep-access-to-my-son

$115. Please keep helping

Can you imagine living your life without teeth?

https://www.gofundme.com/toothless-and-desperate

Have a brief example of what you’d experience:

– Unable to eat properly, your health and physical well-being suffers significantly and this shortens your life over time.  If you’re like me and have weak jaws, you’ll likely not be able to chew well; you’re going to be swallowing lumps of things, which is uncomfortable, gross, and unhealthy.

-Eating can be very painful, to the point you’re going to be eating soup, mashed potatoes, or cream of wheat for at least a few meals.

-Self-confidence tanks, and so can your mental health; this has really f*cked me up, leaving me intensely depressed to the point where I’ve pretty much cried for entire days, not to mention trying to adjust to this nightmare that has become my life.

– Dentures generally need to be pasted into your mouth (the paste doesn’t usually last that well, and isn’t a fix-all.  It also tastes pretty foul.) and tend to cause anything from mild discomfort to bad pain.

– You don’t get to eat anything sticky, chewy, etc.; no more toffee, gum, unprocessed meat, salad (yes, even things like lettuce and spinach are VERY difficult to eat.  And, forget fresh fruit and veggies.  Too firm,

– No biting with your front teeth.  

– There is no real ‘resting place’ for your lower jaw – it’s uncomfortable and even painful to have your gums pressed together, and letting your lower jaw relax and ‘hang’ is almost as bad.

– Have you heard someone speak without teeth?  You’re liable to repeat things A LOT and feel self-conscious and stupid.

-People will shun you, or give you repulsed looks.

-Try looking for work when you look like I do, all gums and no teeth.  No way you’re getting an interview or a call back.

https://www.gofundme.com/toothless-and-desperate

Not to mention that your JAWS SHRINK and make it even more difficult to eat/speak and are prone to FRACTURING.

That’s why I am on my knees, begging and praying for the donations I so desperately need to replace my teeth with implants.

Implants act like REAL TEETH and I could eat/speak as before and my jaws would stop shrinking.  But, I live in poverty and am disabled.  I can’t afford it alone.  I’m scared this is going to be the end of me.

https://www.gofundme.com/toothless-and-desperate

It’s fucking monstrous that our civilization is even set up in such a way that anyone ever has to pay money for something like this.

Insurance doesn’t cover new teeth because that’s considered “just cosmetic.” Can you even fucking believe that.

Disability services cut has threatened my life

skagra3482:

I’m
bedbound & can’t even walk for food & water; without disability
care, I WILL NOT SURVIVE.

By tomorrow Dec 19, $2822 ABSOLUTELY MUST be raised for my care,
or I COULD BE KILLED by dehydration.

Update:  $52 received so far, $2770 left to raise!!! it’s EXTREMELY UNLIKELY to reach the target by tomorrow and I fear life-threatening neglect. PLEASE, PLEASE – reblog/donate!!

  • My CRPS leaves me
    completely bedbound, unable to even walk for food and water
  • Despite ~33 pages’ disability evidence, a widely
    criticised gov. department [1] [2] [3] cut all of my care and knowingly harmed me.
  • I’ve been living in CONSTANT FEAR FOR MY LIFE
    for MONTHS. Most can’t fathom how this utterly destroys you, physically
    & mentally.
  • This fundraising is literally to prevent me from
    dying from dehydrating if carers can’t bring food and water to me; I can’t
    leave my bed.
  • Without regular cleaning, my lease could be
    terminated next month. Finding accessible housing (less than 1% of all homes)
    is virtually impossible & NO ONE CAN SURVIVE HOMELESSNESS BED BOUND.
  • $2142 care invoices and $2091 disability costs reimbursements etc. must be raised & paid before bank shuts for Christmas. 
  • Without payment, my care
    could be terminated quickly and with FATAL consequences. 
  • RECURRING DONATIONS
    (monthly/weekly/etc) are esp. appreciated b/c they guarantee my ongoing care and ensure that I’d no longer have to live in CONSTANT FEAR FOR MY
    LIFE 

PLEASE
DONATE HERE (one-off donations)

**Please help!!

**PLEASE READ/SIGNAL BOOST**

Hey guys, I know that I keep making these annoying posts but I’m getting really, really desperate. I had to pay my rent today (November 24th) and I only have £6.52 left of my benefit after paying it and that’s to get me through all of December (Christmas/New Year) and you can’t imagine what kind of struggle that’s going to be for food/bills and I am unable to receive help from anywhere else (local council or food banks)

If anyone could possibly spare anything at all, even if it’s just £1/$1, please consider donating to my PayPal

($/€ donations please use the PayPal icon on my blog)

Thank you ❤❤

**UPDATE December 16th!!**

Please, please consider donating guys or signal boost this if you possibly can. I’ve thankfully managed to pay most of my bills for this month (gas/electricity/tax etc..) but, despite having over an overwhelming 13.2K notes on this post, I’m still struggling to make ends meet and I still desperately need help to get some groceries in for December/January or I won’t be able to eat this Christmas or in the New Year and I don’t receive my benefit until late January (25th).

And I know that everyone is struggling with the holidays coming up but, if anyone is able to spare anything to help me get some groceries, even if it’s just £1/$1, please try. 🙏❤
