Donation protected
I’m a disabled artist raising funds to cover essential household expenses for September and October 2025. Expenses include cat care, transportation costs, bills, uninsured medical expenses, and groceries (SNAP only covers about three weeks). I estimate needing $1700 for each month ($3400 total).
I have been permanently disabled since April 2024, and am currently waiting on a disability determination. Last month, my mobility tanked and I spent several weeks unable to walk, stand, or bend over without excruciating pain. I am actively seeking medical treatment for this issue, but for now, I am limited to about 5 minutes of movement.
All funds donated will go directly towards maintaining stability and meeting basic needs during this time. Excess funds will roll forward towards future months’ expenses, as I expect the disability determination process to continue for at least another six months.
Thank you for your support.
