Help Tonya raise funds for an air conditioner

Hey there.

I'm really... frustrated that I have to do this again.

But I can't take it anymore. And neither can my system.

I'll out myself here and let you know something I have hidden, but may or may not be a surprise to some, or all of you: I take medication for Psychosis.

So why am I revealing this when I'm raising funds for an air conditioner? Here's why.

When I went to Nevis, in the Caribbean, for my father's funeral in January 2022, my aunts noticed--and were alarmed by--the degree of my sweating.

Turns out antipsychotics SERIOUSLY MESS with my body's ability to self-regulate. I spent SO MUCH TIME in front of a fan.

It's worse in North America, the heat. Nevis is breezy and open. The heat in the Caribbean, and in Nevis, is dry. Everyone up here bemoans the mugginess and moistness of the heat, and in Toronto, with a fan less than a foot from me, it feels like recycled oven air. I can't stay awake or cogent the hotter it gets.

So I applied for funding to buy a new air conditioner, since the last one broke RIGHT after the warranty ran out. It's been sitting here for at least 2 years.

I received a letter from them today and it says I don't qualify for funding because I received funding in the last 4 years for an air conditioner.

I can't wait.

It HAS to be soon; I don't want to end up in the hospital for this.

Please help with whatever funding you can.

Please spread the word.
