another reluctant donation post

You may have noticed I haven’t been online for a few weeks. That’s because
I’ve been very sick with a respiratory infection that left me
hardly able to speak or leave bed for almost a month, and cost me dearly in
medications.

I’ve just been to my fourth doctor appointment this month and been slapped with an enormous, unexpected bill. This has come atop my insurance premiums now taking a quarter of my tiny income each month, and being prescribed
important and expensive new medications not covered by insurance. All in all, my medical expenses now cost more than my rent. I’m multiply disabled and my total income is about half of what a full time minimum wage job pays.

I was able
to work out a payment plan for my doctor bill but even the smallest
payment possible leaves me just barely enough to afford my prescriptions
for the month, with mayyyybe $10 left over for food and transportation
and any other necessities for the next 3ish weeks.

I hate to ask again, but I’m a
little desperate. If you’re a financially comfortable adult who
genuinely wants to help,
I have paypal and a wishlist of food and other necessities.

I would be deeply grateful for even a dollar. Please don’t feel pressured, though – I know things are tough for a
lot of people right now.
