Hello, friends! It's me, A.D.!

Update: ALL SSD APPEALS AND APPLICATIONS ARE PAUSED FOR THE SHUTDOWN! PLEASE HELP ME PERSEVERE! Things have stalled in all areas. I know many are in the same place, but anything can make a difference.

Sadly, after over a year of fighting for SSD, my case is still in appeals, as is my state cash assistance.

NOW, I've lost my Medicaid, too, for no clear, valid reason. I'm trying to get it back with some advocacy, but as of right now, I have no income or health care, and am living with multiple disabilities and current injuries (photo included).

I'm also trying to build a small upcycled clothing brand (see other photos), with limited facility and no investment cash. Any money that I receive, which does support my immediate survival needs, will go to building this other means of self-support.

If you know me, you know that the only family I really have (or have had for decades) are the friends who would read this. I know how hard things are for so many right now. My ask is only for those who can spare it.

If you can't donate, please take a moment to tell someone my story. They're already taking things away and denying us with no cause. It's not news; it's just worse than it's ever been.

Thank you for your generosity of spirit. Just this moment of your time holds great meaning to me.

Love you all,

Aidee
