Protect Nikolai from Life-Threatening Allergies
Spende geschützt
I'm Nikolai and I'm a disabled trans veteran living with my partner, sister-in-law and step kid.
I have many conditions, the main ones being Ehlers Danlos, Myalgic Encephalomyelitis, POTS, Chronic migraines and MCAS.
I'm also severely allergic to cats - epipen level of allergic. Despite this, my partner is adopting one.
When exposed to cat dander, my eyes and throat swell up, and I get hives, and my nose turns into a waterfall. I can't breathe, my eyes swell shut, and it's a very scary and unpleasant experience.
A hypoallergenic cat wasn't considered because they wanted a cat that gets along with dogs, since they have two.
Not my house, so I have no say. So I'm in need of help protecting myself as much as I can.
I've basically been told to take care of my needs myself. I am disabled and can't get work, so I need help getting some items to try to mitigate the damage as much as possible.
Costs will go towards:
- An air purifier with extra filters
- Floor vent filters
- A cat deterrent mat/aluminum foil
- A door gap filler
- Extra allergy meds, since insurance won't cover them.
- Epipens (waiting to hear if the VA will cover these, but adding their cost just in case.)
- More n95 masks
- A locking doorknob.
Anything extra will go towards a moving out fund.
I'm waiting on an ALJ hearing for my disability, and should I get approved, I'll be using my backpay to move out.
But for now, all I can do is try to barricade my room and try to weather the storm until I am able to move out.
Thank you so much for your help, for reading this far, and for ant support, be it a donation or sharing my fundraiser!
