Help Us Heal

After losing my partner, job, health insurance, and all my savings since January, I have been struggling. My Dad and my 17-year-old cat are both dying of neurodegenerative conditions. My own brain is not doing well, as I cannot currently access the medications I need to function, physically and psychologically. Old injuries have abruptly worsened, and I have almost no use of my left shoulder and arm.

I am currently in counseling, but have reached a roadblock in getting affordable access to my medications. I am seeking assistance from local organizations, but there is little available for someone in my position. Low-cost healthcare covers very little beyond keeping me alive for now.

So, for the next month, I am hoping to raise $1,500 to try to get back to work.

Monthly medical costs for myself and my cat (these include shipping and tax where applicable)

Momo:

91.50 - Solensia (injectable pain medication)

25.25 - Amitriptyline (compounded from pharmacy, for agitation and aggression)

21.65 - Feliway pheromones (for behavioral issues)

71.99 - prescription cat food for kidney disease

Me:

70 - 2 doctors’ visits at $35 each

21.52 - bupropion XL 150mg

19.23 - bupropion SR 100mg

19.32 - tizanidine 4mg

15.79 - gabapentin 300mg x2

12.09 - amitriptyline 25mg x3

463.82 - Belsomra (no generic) 10mg

One-time costs:

150 - Telehealth visit with my old psychiatrist

500 - Shoulder MRI cash price

If you are local and can help in any way with food, cat litter, gas, or other expenses, I can use what little remains to take care of my boy and myself.
