Please help Sally Flannery rebuild her life

Hi, my name is Sally and I really hate asking for help. In fact I find this whole GoFundMe concept a little cringe worth but also acknowledge I need some help.

 

After my own rescue in the Lismore floods, I was heavily involved in the rescue and recovery efforts. Unfortunately this has left me with severe PTSD, an adrenaline disorder that cause me to pass out regularly, a broken foot, a sprained ankle and cracked / broken teeth from grinding them so hard in my sleep.

 

I lost my home, my partners home, my office, my shop and all of my posessions. I was rescued via boat with nothing but the soaking clothes on my back and my dog honey in my arms, clutched tight so her claws didn't pop the inflatable boat. I was also about to (2-4 weeks after the flood I was supposed to) open a circular economy vintage clothing store in town which a lot of my savings had gone to :(

 

I am on leave from work and privately funding a psychologist twice a week (as the public sector hasn't been able to provide me one some 70+ days on), I need use a walker to walk now and my mum is basically caring for me full time.

 

I spent the remainder of my money (plus a bit given by some family, thankyou) to buy a caravan which I live in now but it cannot be my forever home. And is difficult with a broken foot and passing out.

 

I need to fix my broken teeth which are cutting my tongue but don't know how I can do this. I need physio on my broken foot but don't know how long I can afford it. My annual leave is running out and I physically cannot drive (last time I was taken to hospital was because I blacked out on the highway and drove into oncoming traffic).

 

I've left lismore now, living near warrick and plan to as soon as I'm well enough commute to work 3 days a week but even that is a 6 hour round trip.

 

I'm scared for my future for so many reasons but financial security is adding to my anxiety, adding to my adrenaline, which is adding to my dizziness and passing out episodes.

 

I don't want to ask anyone who has been flood affected for any money but if anyone else is able to spare even $5 it would help. $120 pays for a psychologist appointment.

 

I want to set up a future home and life for myself and honey, fix the physical damage to my body and focus on healing. I hate asking for help, but if you're in a position to, please do. I think I'm going to really need it
