Help Lisa Through Her Disability Case

Hey! Our dear friend Lisa has had a rough year. She has been hospitalized three times this year due to progressing COPD, Asthma and allergies. Thankfully she's got a great team of doctors helping her but unfortunately unpredictable flare ups have made it hard to keep a job and she's lot two jobs this year. Her COPD will continue to worsen and many things like weather, smoke, cooking fumes, COVID, dust and mold all cause flair ups which lead her to needing hospitalization again. Because of this she has made the tough decision to apply for disability.

The disability process takes a minimum of 5 months to process. During that time Lisa has no income at all but unfortunately still has rent, bills and some out of pocket medical expenses to deal with. She needs her friends and community to help her stay afloat until her application is approved (hopefully sometime around January). She is doing all that she can to stay healthy and getting her bills paid would help keep stress down so she can focus on that.

Thankfully DHS is able to help with some things but her rent and phone bill are one necessity that still needs covered. On top of that Lisa has two elderly cats and a dog who need care (two of her animals are currently on medications) and a few of her medications aren't covered by insurance.

Lisa has been an amazing resource for many friends and community members. For me personally she's been a huge support with my pets, as well as just being there for me as a close friend. When she was well she did a lot of organizing and mutual aid and has been deeply committed to community care and support. And now it's her turn to receive that support. Please give if you can and let's help Lisa through the rest of the year!
