i really, really, really need help.
i'm a twenty-year-old jewish 🏳️⚧️ man. i am disabled and i suffer from chronic pain so severe that i struggle to walk without assistance. i cannot work thanks to the health conditions that i have, and i have tried to apply for ssi + ssdi but i have encountered issues every time.
for almost a year, my mother, who means the world to me, has been battling small cell lung cancer. it's been a difficult and painful journey. doctors drag her remaining life expectancy up and down, telling her one second that she has a mere handful of months to live and telling her the next second that she might have as much as a year. it's been traumatic for me, and i imagine it's been much more traumatic for her. even though the exact amount of time varies depending on what doctor we ask, the consistent consensus seems to be that she's not going to survive for more than a year at most. it's breaking my heart that it's so hard to keep her comfortable and safe for whatever amount of time i still have to spend with her.
i'm from a poor family, and as i stated when i started writing, it's impossible to afford the treatment that she needs to live, that being a combination of chemo, radiation, immunotherapy, and many prescription medications, and also afford things like fuel to drive her to her appointments at the hospital or food for the family.
i have asked for help affording her expenses before. i am asking again. i have been inactive on here for a while now, massively because i am ashamed of myself and embarrassed for making so many of these posts, but i don't have a choice. things are getting bad again, and outside of tumblr, the only source of income i have happens to be from my incredibly abusive "partner." he has been basically the only thing keeping me and my mother afloat for the last few months, but he hurts me so horribly that i am — after being on the receiving end of some of the most inhumane abuse and mistreatment imaginable — desperate enough to turn to begging.
i need $200 for groceries. my family needs food.
i can provide proof of my claims if it's needed; just send me a message. please help me. please fucking help me. i feel like i'm falling apart. i need to feed her and it's fucking urgent. i can't take any more of my partner's abuse at the moment, though. he holds my mother's life over my head like as though it's something that he can take from me when i make him mad, and he's right. he can.
i am so sorry. i don't want to be a burden, but i am officially out of other options. there's no such thing as an unhelpful donation, no matter how small it is — even $1 makes a massive difference for me, so whatever you can afford to spare me, i am pleading with you: please help me keep my mother comfortable and fed. she's dying. reblogs are appreciated, too.
