I really hate to ask this, but I’m in a desperate situation right now and need some help.
If my posts—whether on this blog or on my Attack on Titan side blog ( @scarletskiesinthepaths )—have ever meant something to you, and you’d like to support me, here’s my Ko-Fi:
Even a small donation helps more than I can say.
There is absolutely no pressure. I write my posts because I’m passionate about the subjects, not because I expect payment. But for those wondering why I’m fundraising:
I am poor and disabled. My current wheelchair (a TiLite Aero Z) was measured improperly and is actively harming me. I was born with two rare, genetic disabilities—classical-like Ehlers-Danlos syndrome type 1 (which resulted in congenital hip dysplasia) and a progressive, childhood-onset generalized dystonia-plus syndrome that fewer than 50 people worldwide have been diagnosed with. Both conditions make walking extremely difficult, and I rely on my wheelchair daily.
Unfortunately, the way my current chair is set up causes my hips to dislocate and compresses nerves in my spine. Every time I use it, I end up in severe pain, and I’ve been told by my doctors I’m at real risk of developing cauda equina syndrome if I don’t get a properly fitted wheelchair soon.
While I do have health insurance, I’m responsible for a 30% coinsurance after meeting my deductible. I’ve already met the deductible, but my share for the wheelchair still comes to $2,500—an amount I simply cannot afford on my own, especially with how many other expenses I currently have.
If you’re able to donate, it would mean the world to me. If you can’t, reblogs are also deeply appreciated. Thank you for taking the time to read this, and thank you to anyone who can help, financially or otherwise.
Also, I know many on here are struggling financially themselves, so please don’t feel bad if you can’t donate. I’d rather people prioritize their own needs if they don’t have the means to support others. Normally, I wouldn’t ask for donations at all, but unfortunately, I can’t really function without a wheelchair.
