Better Health Trip Funding for my Girlfriend
Donation protected
Hello, my name is Dorian and I'm seeking help getting my girlfriend Ruby to a safer, healthier place and hopefully, funds to see a physician. Ruby has recently lost her home due to the actions of her father and is staying with family members that are not accustomed to or concerned with accommodating her physical and mental conditions. Ruby has DID, a type of Multiple Personality Disorder characterized by one or more "Alter-Personalities" with their own memories, experiences, and world views being in control at any given time.
This alone is a challenge to her day-to-day life and wasn't quite as much of a problem for her before losing her home and being left to live with family members that don't understand her condition, but she also suffers from other issues including severe General Anxiety Disorder (hence why I am starting this for her) as well as some as-of-yet-unknown physical issues that are severe enough to prevent her from moving around without great difficulty and pain, so getting a job has become less and less viable. She has applied for disability, but it's been very slow going and her situation is worsening by the day with compounding issues both with her family and with her body, which is why funds are needed to help get her out of her current environment as soon as possible before something happens to her.
Our plan is for her to drive from the east coast to a friend in a different state that is willing to take her in so that she can have somewhere stable and healthy to try and figure things out. All initial goal funding that is raised from this will go toward gas, food (both on the way and after arriving), potential lodging if necessary, emergency repairs should anything happen on the road, and checkups to diagnose issues and any necessary corrective procedures, if applicable. Any help at all would be appreciated in this, because I am not in a financially stable position to do more than all that I have. Thank you sincerely for your time and assistance.
Update as of May 22, 2024: Hello all, just bringing around an update to the situation. It's been almost a year since Ruby successfully made the drive up to stay with those who would assist her and me in taking care of all the things necessary for her mental and physical health, including disability assistance, most of which were in the process of being worked on. Unfortunately, due to a housing emergency, she must return home suddenly or potentially face homelessness without any established backup plan. Due to the nature of the specific case, we both collectively determined her driving back home would be the best-case scenario. The time window is rather short this time, unfortunately, as she must be prepared to leave by the second week of June and we have not yet stabilized her money situation to make the journey back since this has come up so suddenly. I have increased the final goal slightly from the original amount, from $1000 to $1200, since the $635 we raised last time I had this fundraiser up was just enough to get her there despite a small hiccup or two along the way. From the bottom of our hearts, we thank you all for your support before and humbly request assistance once more, hopefully for the last time.
