Hi everyone, I’m Gemma and I desperately need your help. I know that you are all tired of seeing these posts as I am of making them, but I honestly have no other choice.
Above, is a photo of my bank acct today in the negative due to overdue bills and charges from previous months and I have tried very hard to try and pay it off without success due to my welfare benefits being revoked under the UK’s controversial changes to how benefits are assessed and assigned and due to my mental illnesses. My appeal against this decision was recently denied and with no idea of when my sanction will be lifted it has caused me to struggle with my bill payments and to get groceries/household supplies with absolutely no income and I’ve been drowning in debt because of it, I can’t even afford to to eat.
Not being able to eat is now a constant thing for me, as I have regularly skipped on eating for the past few weeks in a row now to try and somehow make ends meet and it has taken such a toll on me that a few days ago I was diagnosed with a folic acid deficiency, due to lack of nutrition. I have been prescribed medication to help but with this overdrawn balance I can’t afford anything, all including my rent due at the end of the month and a missed payment could result in eviction.
If anyone could spare any amount to help me, even if it’s just £1/$1/€1, it would literally save my life and, sharing definitely helps just as much as donations. Nobody has to donate if they can’t or don’t want to, I know we’re all struggling. Thank you for your help 💖
I hate making this sort of post but shit. Shit. I went from chill to desperate in such a short time that I am legit panicking.
This is my cat. His name is Keith. He is the kindest, sweetest, softest and friendliest cat I’d ever met. He’s a charmer, everyone that meets him falls in love almost immediately, even my cousin that hates cats.
Today, I noticed a lump in his tummy and took him to a veterinary. They ran some exams on him and the lump was just one of a few tumors that developed on his stomach.
The vet said it can be easily removed, and the surgery will take awhile, but the price is really way over my budget.
He said the surgery will cost around 1500 reais (387,12 dollars on the day of 07/11/18, dang), but he made it sound like there are more things involved that has yet to be charged so who knows how much it will actually be.
So, I’ll be accepting donations… My paypal is pelhahnu@gmail.com(it will show my deadname towards the end, so don’t be surprised. I also tried to use paypal.me to set up a donation link, but turns out it’s not available in Brasil.)
Any help will be deeply appreciated, really… Even if it’s just by sharing.
I’m also trying to contact my family for loans, but the more help the better and the sooner will I be able to pay.
Hey everyone! ❤ So I have a really rad friend. Among other things, she’s helped me through my last inpatient psych stay by talking to me on the phone most nights and helping me find a last minute cat-sitter.
We have supported each other through quite a bit and I’m proud to count her as part of my disabled, queer, Jewish family. But she’s having a really rough time.
Her anxiety has worsened and she’s having a prolonged depressive episode. She’s been dealing with the stress of chronic illnesses, her job, and her mother, who is being homophobic and verbally abusive.
She’s taking leave under FMLA to try and get things together again. This means she will be getting a lot less money. She lives in a city with a high cost of living – the payouts aren’t enough to cover her rent, groceries, healthcare, and care for her two beloved cats.
This is the GoFundMe I’ve made, and if you want to support her and get a cool “Bureaucats not Bureaucrats” shirt out of it, go here 🙂 Thanks for any support!
I’ve been vague about who I am on this blog, mostly because I wanted to have a place to explore Judaism privately. But k-pagination is me.
And so it follows that the disabled, queer, Jewish person in need of tzedekah? Is one who has offered her insight in my studies to become Jewish. Is part of my communities. And most importantly: is my dear friend.
Thank you to those who consider supporting or sharing the fundraisers!
