My disability prevents me from leaving bed. I rely on
care workers to bring food & water to me.
I ran out of water and I’m severely dehydrated. Unless I get help soon, DEHYDRATION COULD KILL ME.
Within about 2
hours, $550 need to be raised to fund my disability care. This could become a matter of life and death without urgent help.

I’m prevented from leaving my bed by complex regional pain
syndrome [medical reports]

.
With no ability to walk and inconsistent funding of disability care, I
sometimes have no means of retrieving food and water at all, forcing me to
endure periods of starvation and dehydration. Today I ran out of water. I have
no family, no ability to walk to a tap, and no
way out without donations to pay for disability care. If my condition
becomes life-threatening, I can’t even go to a hospital, because I have ALWAYS
been severely abused in emergency departments due to my disability. E.g. when I
was coerced into hospital in 2014, I was physically dragged upright by paramedics
against my will during discharge; the doctors involved also considered placing me
under Guardianship to take away medical consent rights for the rest of my life. 

Please, PLEASE donate to fund my disability care. To avoid similar predicaments, I also need $450 today to fund legal services to challenge the
government’s decision not to fund my disability care.

skagra9482:

i am disabled and confined to bed
i have been UTTERLY ISOLATED for almost 4 days
i have NO FOOD. i am RUNNING OUT OF WATER
Without immediate paid cleaning, i COULD BE EVICTED.
Without water, I could suffer dangerous dehydration
Please, PLEASE help me raise $500 for my disability care IMMEDIATELY

i have CRPS and am unable to sit upright or leave bed. i desperately need to raise $500 for disability care workers to provide food, water and basic hygiene. most of my long term care workers have left because i now owe them $3689, not including older debts (over $20k). i have been isolated in my home without paid support for almost 4 days. i will run out of drinking water today. i have no food left.  there are almost 4 days of garbage piling up in my bedroom. my landlord lives in my building, knows my condition and has the power to evict me if i do not access cleaning services soon.  if i am evicted for breaching my lease, will forever be ineligible for further rental subsidies, leading to homelessness that I CANNOT survive. this is no way for a human being to live, and i am fearful for my health once I run out of water. i would be fearful for my life if i am evicted, or if i suffer longer term dehydration. i am begging you for your help and your generosity.

Hi friends!

My name is Samantha, and I am
asking for your help. I’m facing student loan repayments that could halt my
academic work studying the social psychology of autistic culture. If you’d like
to help or learn what it’s like to be disabled, autistic, and in college, keep
reading!

About Me

I’m an autistic woman double
majoring in psychology and sociology. Advocacy work for the autistic community
is my greatest passion. My hope is that as an autistic myself, I can introduce
the broader perspective of the autistic community into the study of autism. I
want to fill the holes left by other researchers. I want to ask the hard
questions and study overlooked topics from a sociology perspective.

But now I need our
community’s help.

Here’s what happened

Last semester my autoimmune
disease flared, my chemotherapy failed, and that left me unable to leave the
house for classes. At the worst point of the semester I could not leave my bed.
I failed every course for the semester. Not because my work was bad, not
because I couldn’t study, but because my health held me prisoner. My student
advisor is helping me retroactively medically withdraw from my classes, but
academia moves slowly when it comes to fixes and very quickly when it comes to
payment deadlines.

The school returned $1600 to
the loan company and added that sum as a $1600 debt on my student account. This
means that I cannot return to school until the debt is fully paid.

I learned about this by an
automatic email sent after the school closed for the holidays. Not exactly the
present I asked Santa for this year.

A medical withdraw fixes the
debt, but it takes months to process.

In the meantime, I have until January 14^th to pay the hold or I will not be able to attend school. I
just don’t have $1600.

And that’s why I’m reaching
out to you now.

How You Can Help

I have no idea if I can raise
this money in two weeks. I’m terrified of not being able to.

But now that we have a working treatment for my disorder, I have to try. Will you
try with me?

PayPal donations can be made
to candidlyautistic@gmail.com. At this point, donation websites will take
to long to transfer funds.

Here’s my promise to you: I
will be transparent with donations, replying in the comments of this post with
a running tally of donations. Any help is appreciated.

Sincerely and Gratefully,

Samantha
