Hi! My name is Rue, and I'm raising money for my friend to help her pay rent while she's trying to search for a job.

Her name is Ea, she is 20 and is renting a room with her cat Persephone. Ea is disabled (chronic pain, asthma, bipolar disorder, autism, etc.) and needs to pay for multiple different meds as well as a psychiatrist. She's been struggling to find a job that suits her disabilities and pays for her groceries and rent ever since November. The situation right now is that she only has a little amount left in savings and then nothing.

Unfortunately, her relatives cannot be of help and if she's evicted she will not have a place to stay. This whole situation has already taken a heavy strain on her both mentally and physically and she's at risk of losing her current job due to illness. Most of her friends are also young and do not have many disposable funds to help her.

Ea has graduated high school in summer 2023 and she really wanted to get into uni this year but she didnt manage to get into any of the places she applied to. As such, she cannot consistently receive money from the government (SU in Denmark) for studying. She's been living on her own since 15 due to issues at home. The municipality of her town was helping her until she was 18 but ever since then it's been harder and harder for her to keep living a life that she desires. Ever since graduating she is constantly under a lot of stress and pressure to make ends meet and maintain a healthy lifestyle that goes beyond surviving. Needless to say, her mental health has been deteriorating rapidly because of the lack of stability in her life. She is trying her absolute best to get better but being newly diagnosed and given the situation it has been really tough.

Ea wants to lead a happy life and she wants the same for Persephone. The situation is impacting her greatly and she's struggling to maintain friendships, hobbies, her health, and just general well-being. She loves writing and relaxing with a good book, she loves doing makeup and creating elaborate outfits, and she has a deep passion in psychology and neuroscience, particularly in how that's represented in videogames and how it can impact the player. She loves learning new things and more than anything wants to study psychology in university.

Ea is my best friend and a really kindhearted individual. She is the most hardworking and dedicated person I know and she is really open-minded and accepting of me and others. She's super flexible and is always willing to help anyone who asks (and doesn't ask). She's an amazing friend and I feel terrible seeing her go through this and not being able to help. Most of all I don't want to lose her to financial instability.

Please consider donating. Any amount helps.

Thank you,

Rue

Hej! Mit navn er Rue, og jeg vil gerne indsamle penge for min ven, til hendes husleje imens hun leder efter et arbejde. Hendes navn er Ea, hun er 20 og lejer et værelse med hendes kat Persephone. Ea er syg (kroniske smerter, astma, bipolar lidelse, autisme, osv.) og er nødt til at betale for mange forskellige mediciner samt psykiater. Hun har haft det svært med at finde et job, der passer til hendes sygdom og som kan betale for hendes dagligvarer og husleje, siden november. Situationen er nu at hun kun har en meget lille del af hendes opsparing tilbage.

Desværre kan hendes familie ikke være af meget hjælp og hvis hun bliver smidt ud, har hun intet sted at være. Hele situationen har taget hårdt på hendes mentale- og fysiske helbred, og hun er i risiko at miste hendes nuværende job pga. sygdom. Mange af hendes venner er unge og har derfor ikke det store økonomiske overskud til at hjælpe hende.

Ea bestod gymnasiet i sommers 2023 og hun ville vildt gerne ind på uni sidste år, men kom ikke ind de steder hun søgte. Så derfor har hun ikke en regelmæssig indkomst fra uddannelsesstyrelsen (SU). Hun har boet alene siden hun var 15 på grund af problemer derhjemme. Kommunen fra hendes hjemby hjalp hende indtil hun var 18 men siden dengang er det blevet hårdere og hårdere for hende at leve et liv hun ønsker. Siden hun bestod gymnasiet, har hun været under konstant stress og pres til at få tingene til at løbe rundt og at opretholde en sund livsstil som er mere end bare at overleve. Det er selvfølgelig selvsagt at hendes mentale helbred forværres hurtigt pga. mangel på stabilitet i hendes liv. Hun prøver sit absolut bedste på at få det bedre men at være nyligt diagnoseret og givet situationen har det været rigtigt svært.

Ea ønsker at leve et lykkeligt liv og ønsker det samme for Persephone. Situationen har påvirket hende meget og hun kæmper for at bevare venskaber, hobbyer, helbred, og generelt velvære. Hun elsker at skrive og slappe af med en god bog, hun elsker at lægge makeup og lave detaljeret outfits, og hun har en dyb lidenskab til psykologi og neurovidenskab, især hvordan det er præsenteret i videospil og hvordan det påvirker spilleren. Hun elsker at lære nye ting og mere end andet vil gerne studere psykologi i universitet.

Ea er min bedste ven og hun er virkelig en godhjertet person. Hun er den mest hårdt arbejdende og dedikerede person jeg kender og hun er virkelig åbensindet og accepterende af mig og andre. Hun er superfleksibel og er altid klar til at hjælpe folk der spørger efter det (også folk der ikke spørger). Hun er en fantastisk ven og jeg har det forfærdeligt med at se hende gå igennem det her og ikke at kunne hjælpe. Mest af alt vil jeg helst ikke miste hende til finansiel ustabilitet.

Overvej venligst at donere, ethvert beløb hjælper.

Tak på forhånd,

Rue
