Abi's Medical Care and Rehabilitation Fund
Donation protected
Hi my name is Abi! I'm Canadian and I desperately need help with my ever increasing medical bills and living costs! I'm constantly in excruciating pain and suffering from a long list of issues which prevents me from working and keeping a job. I can't afford the rehabilitation I need and by mid January 2020 I'll be off my unemployment sickness benefit and be left with only my small savings to support myself. My health is currently still declining and I'm hoping to get help with treatment costs (physiotherapy and any other treatments suggested by my doctors), medication costs, bills and etc until I can get help from the government. After fighting doctors for several years. I've been finally diagnosed with several chronic illnesses. Which include Fibromyalgia, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, IBS, Costochondritis, Migraines (24/7), High Blood Pressure, Sleep Apnea, Depression, Anxiety and other health issues. These health issues prevent me from working currently. The internal medicine specialists told me that my recovery will take at least a year and will most likely take years. Even they don't know whether I'll ever recover or how long it will take. They also confirmed that I've been having these chronic illnesses for at least 2 years now. I've already lost so much money over the years trying to manage my health issues. So I am here begging for help and understanding. I don't have a family to support me financially. All I have are my small savings. Which will soon be quickly depleted. any donation is appreciated no matter how small. I was recently denied for disability benefits (both AISH and CPP disability). I'm in the process of appealing both and finding help (lawyer and/or social worker). I've currently maxed my insurance for drug costs so I'm paying for my meds 100% out of pocket. And hoping I can soon get assistance from the government.
