Literally anything helps for my girlfriends health

The video I linked to pretty much says it all. The only thing that’s changed since I last updated the GoFundMe is the goal has less to do with moving and more to do with her medical assistance and disability treatments. But everything I said From pretty much still stands now. Truly anything helps us and we appreciate absolutely anything to help us that little extra bit.

The video says it all but to condense it here.
Anything at all helps, genuinely.
I'm a creator and storyteller. I love making videos and film and want to be able to make money off of my creations to share one day, but that's a long journey. Time that we don't have. And wages that aren't possible.

Me and my girlfriend have been fighting an uphill battle trying to save money to get her a home and/or apartment, as well as her medical needs. She's disabled and anyone who knows or has experience with disability knows it's a nightmare to get help with. It brings out some of the most evil people and employers in ableism. She's been forced out of workplaces, finding jobs has been difficult and the best we can get her in are extremely low-paying that don't care enough.
We've both been abused and taken advantage of by so many people, and it's just. Alot.

We live close to Memphis and housing there is pretty much out of the question. Not necessarily because of the area, but also due to factors like genuine AI data centers poisoning the area, making our options limited even further with moving. And as is everyone's story for young adults right now, rent and housing costs are abysmal.

The final nail in the coffin for me has been having problems with my car that's gonna run me so low that at this point I don't know what other options I have left. We have tried so many things for basically a year now to figure out stuff and try to make progress with everything and each month just feels. Heavier I guess. I feel weird doing this even now as I type this but from the bottom of our hearts, please; anything helps at all.

It's more for her than me too. She's never had the chance to even live her life ever. She loves singing and music and she wants to share that with the world and she has never been given that chance ever and it's infuriating to see someone with so much joy to share everyday be broken so much.

Any donations will go directly to my girlfriend's medical needs and living costs.



Thank you with everything I have. - Ben, for my love: Leia
