Hi, gays! I spent ALL I had ($350) on my mother's eyes (after 2 surgeries she needed a 3rd, done July 10). My back and leg pain have become worse and more often. We both have chronic health issues. Living on benefits means bills keep happening cause emergencies/survival happen. We can't prepare for such things, as most of us disabled/financially struggling people can't save money for long.
I know lots of us struggle, so if you can't donate, please share it? Thank you regardless. More info under the cut.
My mother is 77 years old, she struggles with things "normal" for her age: high blood pressure, cholesterol, trigliceridi, anxiety, sleeping issues, back hernia, allergies and eye problems. I deal with chronic back/leg/feet pain and migraines (also chronic dermatitis, severe anxiety, depression, ocd, possible borderline, and vitamin deficiency to which I need supplements). If you follow me you know this. That being said, between both of us we take more than 10 different medications a day:
NOT counting eye drops, creams, vitamins (omega 3, vitamin D, b12 and iron), powder replacements + diapers and common painkillers
Benefits + I make doing odd jobs makes us around $700 monthly, where $300 alone goes to rent, and we can't pay everything else (utensils, medicine, groceries) with only $400. Work is hard when I deal with daily pain and still need to take care of my mom's needs. We live in Brasil, my currency is BRL (1 USD = 5 BRL / 1 € = 6 BRL).
It has come to my attention that people have bad things to say about others struggling, as if people who "e-beg" do it for fun, or as if it doesn't cause us anxiety when we know something important to us depends on the kindness that might not come. I have seen posts directed at me even though they were "venting". Your lack of sympathy/empathy is your problem and says more about you than about me.
To anyone who has helped me (donating, sharing, starting a conversation) thank you so much. Bless you all.
Literally crying my eyes out. Took a small walk to help a neighbor and my feet hurts so bad I can't sleep or get up to make dinner (SECOND NIGHT IN PAIN), my throat feels worse because I still got the flu. Eye appointment on Monday. STILL can't walk without pain. Mostly in bed. PLEASE. I'm begging at this point.
Need money for mom's post surgery check-ups. Need to refill anxiety meds. We DEFINITELY need money for food.
UPDATE Jul 15: $40/300
STILL CAN'T WALK WITHOUT SEVERE PAIN. Please continue to help if possible.
Can anyone help me if I don’t pay 200 towards rent (I was supposed to pay 500 but the house needed things like food soap laundry which I always pay and my phone was off so I had to pay that for work ) my partner is threatening to kick me out :/ I’m the only one who works but I don’t make that much usually I need to dip into my check for medical emergency or because he needs something I’ve been kicked out once already from being accused of cheating (I wasn’t) anything helps
