Help a gay Canadian man escape homophobia.
I am a Canadian man living with a disability on ODSP and life is a struggle. I need a SPACE of my own an apartment ASAP. For the past four years I have to live with my sister HOMOPHOBIA. When I walk by her she will snap her fingers and she makes gay slurs. I got to GET OUT of this house ASAP. If I have to live on the streets in Toronto I guess that is my fate.I live with a homophobic sister she has made my life a living hell. It is embarassing as an adult to say this. I am STRESSED OUT by my sister homophobia and my parents ignore it. She waits until everyone sleeps and calls me gay slurs through the vents. She figured out how to connect to the Bluetooth on my cellphone and says disgusting homophobic slurs. Because I am a gay man my parents don't want to believe their daughter is homophobic. Let me explain, the Ontario Disability Support Program is legislative poverty. I am a single adult male I receive a little over $1000 a month. In Ontario 2024, I am barely surviving. Premier Doug Ford has made life extremely difficult for people with disabilities. ODSP is insufficient the small amount of money not enough to last an ENTIRE MONTH. There is a sexist bias against men who ask for help. There are men in Ontario on ODSP and need assistance. Some men are afraid to ask for donations for fear of being judged. I am a man and I am asking for HELP. I am sounding the alarm the ODSP program is terrible. The provincial government in Ontario haven't raised ODSP rates to a level to match high cost of living in Ontario Canada. I suffer from depression & anxiety. I don't want to ask strangers for help but I am in a difficult place. I have NO FOOD to eat, I need a new pair of eye glasses ASAP. ODSP only covers the lens but not the frame. I need new clothes ASAP. It is embarrassing I need men underwear, size 11 sneakers, jeans, a toothbrush. The provincial government tell the Ontario media lies that the small increases make a difference. Next month, August 2024 I will only get $34 dollar increase that isn't going to help. The ODSP program contrary to lies the Canadian conservative media make is not a handout. ODSP is horrible it is frustrating and sad. I am struggling to survive. ODSP doesn't provide enough for sustenance. I have no food to eat and clothes to wear. Yet Premier Doug Ford has made life difficult for people on disability. I struggle to pay rent. I need groceries ASAP. I have visited food banks and unfortunately the food is expired, rotten, or spoiled. I need jeans, socks, men underwear, spring jacket. I can't afford it. I want a better future and life for myself. The goal is raise $40
000 I understand that's a big goal. I hope I can get a better apartment, pay off bills. The little money I receive goes to rent. I struggle to survive. I am on I am exhausted, stressed out, and struggling. I am stressed out. I have student loans over $7800 dollars that I need help paying off. I am worried about my Virgin Mobile Canada & Koodo cell service being turned off. I am unemployed and on disability. I am going to be blunt I am stressed out, and worried about my future. How did I get here? It isn't easy being a male and asking for help. Can anyone help? In addition, I need money to wash & dry my clothes at the laundromat. I also need a decent pair of sneakers and clothes. Any donations are appreciated. I want to make a difference in my life become a better man. I hope I can get there.
