I am a 46-year-old woman living with multiple chronic health conditions, including asthma, psoriasis, ADHD, and autism. I also have a recognized disability level of 60%.
For the past six years, I have been unemployed. Despite repeated attempts, I have not been able to re-enter the traditional job market in a sustainable way. The combination of my health conditions and neurodivergence makes standard employment structures extremely difficult to maintain.
At the same time, I do not want to remain in a passive survival situation. I am seeking to build a form of self-employment that is realistically compatible with my health limitations and cognitive profile — structured in a way that allows autonomy, stability, and dignity.
However, I am currently unable to take the first steps without financial support.
WHY FUNDING IS NEEDED
To establish a viable self-employed structure, I need to cover several foundational areas:
professional reorientation and training tailored to my abilities
setup of a small independent working structure
essential equipment and infrastructure
legal and administrative establishment costs
stabilisation period where income will not yet be sufficient to live on
accessibility adjustments due to disability-related limitations
Without initial capital, I cannot move from long-term unemployment into sustainable independence.
WHY THE AMOUNT IS HIGH
The total goal of €50,000 reflects not only startup costs, but also the need for:
a multi-year transition phase into self-employment
financial stability during health fluctuations
building a structure that does not collapse under short-term pressure
ensuring that the project is not underfunded and therefore likely to fail
This is not a short-term project, but a full transition from dependency to self-sufficiency.
WHAT YOUR SUPPORT MEANS
Any contribution supports:
long-term independence instead of continued welfare dependency
the creation of a disability-adapted working life
a realistic chance at financial stability through self-employment
Even small contributions make a difference in building momentum.
FINAL NOTE
This is not a request for comfort or luxury. It is a request for the possibility to rebuild a working life that is compatible with health limitations that cannot be changed.
Thank you for reading and considering support.
