hi! i’m sef. i’m 22 years old, i live in florida, and i need at least $1000.
i suffer from bulging discs, osteoarthritis of the spine, dystonia, migraines, pinched nerves to my arms, hands, and legs, and a few things of the mental variety as well. my neurology office is evil and they’ve refused my insurance company’s phone calls and so my latest extension of leave was denied.
which means i haven’t been paid since june 29.
on that note, i’ve been told that if i return to work now i’ll have to face HR and they might just go ahead and fire me for my absence even though i was TOLD i didn’t need to go back to work yet by the insurance company while attempting to get this most recent extension of my leave. i’ve been doing some commissioned paintings in the meantime but that doesn’t really bring in the bank.
it’s a really fucked up situation, but i can’t afford to go back to my parents’ place. that’s an even MORE fucked up situation, including gaslighting about my illnesses, alcoholism, and emotional abuse. i’m also panromantic and neutrois and i’m not sure my dad is ok w/ my identity.
i can hold off on paying my bills til sept 3 but i really, really need some assistance. instead of signing up for one of those fundraiser sites that tend to either take a lot of the donation or shitty people (i see you, gofundme), here is a direct link to donate through my paypal. (please don’t abuse access to my birth name. i go by a pseudonym for my privacy and as a buffer between my family and my life.)
$1000 will help me with: rent ($450), phone and internet ($250, internet has not been paid for a couple of months), and the credit card that’s been helping me manage groceries and gas during this whole thing. in the event that i am sent more than the amount i’ve asked for, i’ll be putting it into paying off the credit card. also crying from gratitude. a lot.
i’ve been relying a lot on y’all (including an earlier fundraiser when my insurance company was not paying me) and the fact that i’ve seen so much generosity… it’s really humbling. in lieu of a donation, i’d really appreciate a reblog, share, whatever. thank you all so much, from the bottom of my heart.
