Emergency funding 4 Gil
Donation protected
I'm Gil James Bavel. I'm a writer, editor and soon to be publisher--I'm raising money because I'm in serious financial trouble. My physical and mental health are deteriorating rapidly. I left work on short term disability caused by a debilitating chronic pain issue that initially presented in my lower back. It started as a herniated, bulging disc* that impinges the nerve roots, so now, in addition, I have sciatica in both legs, and I'm in pain almost all the time. Suffice it to say that I hit the nuerological problem lottery. :)
I've also got ADD, ADHD and I'm OCD, which means I have problems with focus--I have five things going at once, and I get lost in the details of each one! I even forget I was going to start a list and when I remember, I can't remember what was going to be on the list.
I suffered an "involuntary separation" from my job of 4+ years (I was fired) on 4/27/17, and my last paycheck was in May (for 28 bucks). My FMLA has long been used up. I'm reduced to selling what I can, and raising emergency funding online.
UPDATE:
To stay above water and meet my bills, I hope you can help with a donation. I need finacial assistance urgently--but don't expect something for nothing. I've got some amazing rewards for different donation levels you'll see inside!
This means a lot to me--so thank YOU in advance. I'm grateful for the help! And, in case you're confused about the fundraiser for my forthcoming anthology, it has its own, separate pre-Kickstarter fundraiser on GoFundMe which you can find easily.
The Kickstarter for the anthology will be forthcoming. It will be entirely separate; none of the rewards for that are used here, nor will any of the funds raised for my personal needs be used for that. So let's take a look at what I've got for you... for helping me out!
