I hope that black girls with disabilities, especially ones society tries to tell you are “gross”, have a great day & remember you’re not gross at all.

I hope that black girls with invisible / chronic illnesses have a great day, and remember that you’re welcome in spoonie circles if you want to be there. You’re just as valid as white spoonies.

Crowdfunding to survive

Creating new post as the last one has become a multi-nested horror.

It’s really hard for me to admit this, but I need help.

I’m passing the hat again because I have even more medical bills, my phone (with my whole ass life on it) died, & my car started making a terrifying noise with the check engine light coming on.

Because of medical bills, another bill withdrawing from my bank twice, & the resulting overdrawn fees, my whole ass paycheck went to steadily accruing bank fees because FML.

Immediate concerns are I’m in the red -$200 & need to be at least at +$300 to cope w/ bills & living this month. Perfect world would be +$600 this month but that’s really pie in the sky.

Long-term concerns mean I created a YouCaring & added pics of some of my current bills. The description on the YC page is better, should you want details. That $3,000 bill from a recent medical emergency and I’m glad I ATEN’T DED, but I really fucking hate how U.S. healthcare is set up. I have even more medical bills than the ones I put up there but I literally can’t cope with acknowledging the totality of my debt at present.

Anyway, I have three ways you can donate, should you have a preference:

YouCaring: https://www.youcaring.com/help-jay-cover-medical-bills

PayPal: [email protected]

Square: cash.me/$popinjay

(If you want the money to get to me immediately, Square Cash or Paypal (as friend/family) are the way to go. If you prefer to be able to see a goal reached, YouCaring is your ticket)

I started with a low-ish goal on YouCaring of $1000 because I’m a realist and know we’re all struggling out here and appreciate anything that someone else chooses to give. If I actually reach or exceed that, I’ll update with a different goal.

Please give if you can & share/signal boost regardless. I appreciate you all! <3

[unholyglee]

I’m in overwhelmed state right now, so here’s twitter threads regarding my crowdfunding & I’m boosting this post again.

https://twitter.com/unholyglee/status/943170381581516802

Thank you for anything you’re able to give & for boosting the signal. PayPal & Square are my preferred ways bc the money gets to me immediately. Please read the Twitter thread for more info.

Thank you all again. 💜

[unholyglee]

Not been able to update or boost my own signal of late because what even is my life right now? I’m existing on negative spoons & fumes but gotta keep going because who the hell else will?

Quickly: Thank you *so much* for the boosting, giving, & moral support. The pockets of good on the internet are amazing & continue to astound me. 💜

Looking at where things stand right now, my immediate need is $350 by next week (January 3, 2018). I’ll try to get more detailed financial info update after work tomorrow, if I don’t fall into almost comatose sleep as soon as I get home. Or have debilitating panic attacks. Fatigue, brain fog, and panic disorder are shit. I want a new body, kthxbai.

I do know I still need quite a bit of money even after that $350 because medical bills are the debt that never ends. It just goes on & on, my friend. Some people started paying it, not knowing what it was. And they’ll continue paying it forever *just* because…

…uh, sorry. Exhaustion loopiness aside, please continue to boost the signal! I appreciate y’all greatly. 💜

And I meant to put this in the original post: The amounts on the medical bills I showed *are after I’ve negotiated somewhat lower fees/payment plans.* I.E: that 300something dollars is per month for a completely different bill not appearing in this picture. I’ve seen some reblogs saying “I’ll reblog bc this might be real. If this is real, OP needs to negotiate w/ the medical facilities for lower or no bills.” So, yeah. I’ve already done that. This is what medical debt even after egotiation looks like, folks.

[unholyglee]

Hey, I updated my YouCaring page. Please check it out and boost the signal. Got hit with more medical bills. Any help is greatly appreciated. <3

https://www.youcaring.com/help-jay-cover-medical-bills

[unholyglee]

Boosting my signal again. Please share all over the place. Spread this far & wide. I really need the help. Thank you for all y’all have done! <3

[unholyglee]

Good news, everyone! Immediate need now down to $250 by 01/03/18 (tomorrow). Please help if you can & share/signal boost regardless. Thanks to those of you who’ve given & those who’ve boosted the signal. I appreciate you all. 💜

[unholyglee]

Update! I was able to make the partial payment on the 3rd, so thank you all immensely for that! ‪Boosting my signal again bc I still need help. I appreciate you all so much. Please keep sharing.

[unholyglee]

Boosting my signal! I still need help. Please give if you can & boost the signal regardless. I appreciate you all! 💜💜💜

[unholyglee]

Good morning! Out of my larger medical bills, I have a $300 payment coming due in a week (02/08/18). Please help, if you can. Even if you don’t give, just sharing helps a ton, so please keep boosting. I appreciate y’all SO MUCH. 

💜💜💜

[unholyglee]

I’m really fucking low on spoons. Urgent care situation over the weekend got me drained. Please see the twitter thread here, give if you can & share regardless. I still have $300 due on 2/8/18, Thursday, two days from now. Thank you all. 💜 https://twitter.com/unholyglee/status/960908796834074624

[unholyglee]

I’ve had more urgent care nonsense (no one knows why or how my sinuses are filing with blood, but they are) & for related reasons, I have shut off notice for my electricity & I’m just tired & was going to look into selling plasma or something.

Have I mentioned my friends are violent if I talk about selling blood/plasma rather than ask for help when I clearly need it? Like, I feel guilty that I’m a grown-ass woman, working my ass off & doing so well living on my budget, but then the last few months of medical drama has shot that all to hell, & I shouldn’t be bothering other people with my failure to adult properly…

Then I get a text message “If you don’t put up your goddamned PayPal info & shit, I’m clotheslining you from the top ropes.”

_>

I was given a choice regarding utility shut off notices & more medical bills. And I choose life: my own. So, here? (pls don’t hurt me, friends)

Asking for help w/ medical bills, morning signal boost edition!

Thread that describes some of what I’m suffering & asking you to take a minute to read & help me out, if possible. No pressure. I do ask that you #signalboost the start of that thread. I’ve one bill for ~$500 due 4/12 & one for ~$350 4/6 💜

https://twitter.com/unholyglee/status/977977985671335938

*SIDE NOTE: yes those payment amounts are real. Yes, I’ve already argued the different health care providers down to monthly payments for what my insurance didn’t cover. I work a halfway decent job & according to them, I can afford these payments, so they’re not going to agree to lower the amount I owe. Despite my nigh-debilitating student loan debt that will be with me until I die.

So, I get you’re trying to help, but squash the “this person should fight for their bills to be absolved” or any other advice. This is what treating chronic illnesses — even with good health care — looks like. Even for those of us with insurance, not dying (when you almost did if not for medical intervention) is expensive.

In my particular case, it now costs ~$500 a month for at least the next year. ~$500 a month that I don’t have. I’ve tried working multiple jobs but the tweet thread linked above details how that ended badly for me, so again, please go read it. …I’ll probably still try to find some work from stuff but ANYWAY.

Please I read those tweets to understand what’s going on with me and please please PLEASE keep spreading the word. You all sharing my tweets/posts have gotten my words in front of complete strangers who have helped.

If you’re able to give, please do! If not, I appreciate you anyway; times are rough for most of us. I am lucky to even have your good thoughts headed my way. Thank you! 💜💜💜
