Support for an Autistic Adult Facing Medical Hardships

Donation protected
Hi Friends!

I hope you are all well. I am reaching out to share my current situation in the hope of receiving support from kind-hearted individuals like you.

As an autistic and chronically ill disabled adult living alone, I face many challenges every day. A severe back injury from a fall several years ago, result in sciatica, along with ongoing joint problems and debilitating migraines with aura, has made it difficult for me to work full-time. Currently, I am in the process of appealing my disability claim, but until then, I am working part-time to make ends meet.

Despite my efforts, the burden of ongoing medical expenses and living costs is overwhelming. With extensive medical needs, I find myself struggling to cover essential expenses like electricity, gas, food, and rent. Recently, I qualified for a low-cost health insurance program, which helps, but I still need to manage the co-pays for my medical appointments. Your generosity can make a significant difference in my life.

Each contribution would help alleviate the stress of my medical debt and living expenses, allowing me to focus on my health and well-being during this challenging time. If you are able to support me, I would be incredibly grateful. Every donation, no matter the amount, brings me one step closer to stability. In the meantime, I continue trying to stay positive and do my best.

Thank you for your compassion!
