Hello, my name is Ammy. I'm 20 years old, a student, that is struggling with disabilities. I am asking for your help because I'm facing a crisis I can no longer handle alone. I also struggle with anxiety issues, I feel so scared to reach out for help.
For years, I've struggled with severe depression and the trauma of being bullied and isolated. As a young person that is also trying to figure out how to fit in, or trying to figure out how to define my identity, I struggled being able to try to support myself. Back in the day, I was rejected and thrown out, leaving me with no friends or anyone for support, and I struggled alone for a long time. This especially happened during my high school days. Some time ago, I was also diagnosed with keratoconus, a degenerative eye disease that has left me with medical expenses that I had a very difficult time paying because my insurance was not able to cover for my expenses. This led me to losing all my savings and having no safety cushion.
This has lead to me going into debt, and it's a struggle to keep up because I keep feeling stressed every day that I have stuff missing or not there.
I have decided that I needed to try something. I tried to start building websites. plushiequest.com is an example of that. It's mainly just a catalog of things and guides. I also have other projects, mainly to support myself and that I had some ideas. It would be good if I could get a company to help me out or buy things, but I don't know if that would happen. My website projects included making an online service, and I have a few others, so I think I am capable there.
Honestly, I've been fighting so hard to build a life for myself, even though it's been draining me by the day. I wanted to share my passion and hopefully make enough income to survive. However, I constantly struggle to pay for . My disabilities, including chronic migraines and being autistic, make it incredibly difficult to find and keep a stable job that can accommodate my needs.
Update: I was able to get some help on some of the essentials I need, and my main worry right now is paying off my debt and having enough in savings to cover medical expenses, or in case anything does happen. I am very unprepared and things can change for me at any moment. Anything does help.
Thank you for hearing my story. Every share and every dollar is a message that I am not invisible and that my fight matters.
With hope,
Ammy
