My story
I am disabled and getting worse rapidly from capitalism traps. I have applied for disability but as we all know it takes time. I'm not physically even able of caring for myself really on a daily basis, let alone work. But while fighting for disability you are not allowed to work in ANY capacity or I'll be considered not disabled and therefore unable to be awarded. I have been sick but unable to get diagnosed for >16 yrs now. As time goes by, I my conditions worsen to the point of often times not being able to get out of bed.
Of all the organizations helping to fund, feed, clothe, etc me, I still cannot get consistent aide for the following things:
1) Food, medication, vet visits, supplies for my cat who is nearly 18 and also my registered emotional support animal. She has to have special food because of her and my health issues and has medications needed. Whenever I am in the hospital I have to hire a vet tech for every two days as my brother cannot give her some of her medications required.
2) I also am in constant crippling and unbearable pain. We are talking all kinds of pain, digestive, migraines, headaches, inflammation, joints, muscles, nerves. And nothing is helping that is covered by Medicaid. I cannot take NSAIDs and cannot afford ANYTHING out of pocket. The only things I have found to help are, acupuncture, and possibly CBD/THC if I'm able to afford to try.
The Goods
I am pretty decent in my needlework so I am looking to make things for people in exchange for suggested donations. I'll try and post pictures of examples of my work.
Bonus points if it's queer themed things or stuff for pets but I'll make whatever you ask. You buy the yarn and hooks/needles I need, and I'll let you know suggested donation and it's all yours. What you donate will take care of my cat, and if there's any left, hopefully get me some pain relief so I can move for a little bit longer.
Until I get disability I have no other options.
Thanks for your help.
