Help Oby Heal and Pay Off Loans and Bills

Donation protected
Hi! I'm Oby, a queer, trans/nonbinary, neurodivergent, disabled, jewish poor 20 something year old trying to pay off students loans from a college that harmed me through transphobia, ableism, and queerphobia, which forced me to drop out. I also had a recent unexpected hospital visit for non-epileptic seizures that turned out to be tic attacks from Tourette's Syndrome. The visit was mostly covered by insurance, but still cost $700 for me out of pocket.
I also am an ambulatory wheelchair user and currently have a cheap transport chair while attempting to get professional care and a pain management plan. For the past 14 years I have been routinely dismissed and ignored by doctors through a combination of ableism, and abuse/neglect from parents. My body is at the point where I need a wheelchair to go long distances or even go grocery shopping -- this transport chair just doesn't cut it. It's not ergonomic, it's not customisable with better tires and casters, and it hurts my body to be in it for too long a time.

I need:
$5500 for student loans
$700 for medical bills
$3000 for a good custom UL wheelchair

Thank you! And please share wherever you can!
Any excess money raised will be put forward to Black and brown folks' fundraisers and mutual aid requests.
