🚨 URGENT 🚨 please help out my friend @furbyq - she needs to get back water (it has already been shut off for several days) and keep her power on. she is a disabled nonbinary lesbian who desperately needs the assistance of her community.
phaedra's father passed away last year. phaedra was very close with both of her parents. she is dealing with the pain of having lost her parents, something i have personally witnessed as being deeply devastating to her.
despite this closeness, her upbringing was traumatic, her parents were complicated people, and she has not had the ability to yet heal from these traumas.
phaedra was their main caregiver through her mother's cancer and her father's increased healthcare needs, and she has struggled to feel fulfilled and useful, or even that she should be alive, without her parents around to live life with and care for.
the loss of her father has left her and her brother in a dire situation, as he was the household's primary source of income via his retirement benefits.
both she and her brother are disabled and both have thus far been unable to find work. phaedra has been denied for SSI multiple times despite clearly being the intended recipient and desperately needing help, as well as having the documented support of her healthcare specialists.
phaedra is actively trying to stabilize their situation and find a job, but she was taken out of school by her parents and transitioned to home schooling, which resulted in her not receiving a highschool diploma.
she cannot better her situation with water, power, and internet, as all of her healthcare requires internet connection, as well as finding and applying for jobs. she is unable to go to the library regularly, as they do not have reliable transportation. she has gone without medications many times over the last few months, further destabilizing her mental and physical health.
obviously, in this day, it is almost impossible for someone to find a job without their highschool diploma. in my experience, she is a hard worker, incredibly kind and caring beyond many other individuals i have met, and intensely creative and loving of other's creations as well.
we are looking to get her $1,000.00 to stabilize her situation for the next short while. ANY amount, however small, will help her during this crisis.
