Help with medical costs and rent in the short term

Hi, I'm Seraphina. I'm hoping to raise money for recent and upcoming medical appointments, medications, and rent in the short term.

Since early-mid 2025 I have been unable to work full time, with a series of compounding personal and complex health issues reducing my capacity to work to near-zero.

In this time I have sought to work three days a week where possible to cover basic expenses, but even this has been nearly impossible to maintain, with the demands of work and the consequences of missed appointments and no sleep making it difficult to focus on anything but survival.

These circumstances forced me to sell many of my belongings to cover rent and the cost of appointments, transport, and food, as I ran out of sick leave very quickly and have since been forced to take unpaid leave when unwell.

I now face unemployment in the very near future due to both the impacts of my worsening health and my role ultimately being made redundant later this year.

Both Jobseeker and the DSP, if I am successful in applying for it, would still leave me short of the essentials, and my lease is not due to expire until March.

My plan for money raised here, depending on the amount raised, is to pay outstanding fees for recent medical appointments, attend future appointments, purchase medications, and cover any shortfall in rent while unemployed/until my lease expires in March.

In the meantime, I am working on ways to keep going beyond March, including cheaper accommodation when the lease expires, potential Super withdrawals, and other paths to employment that might sustain me in the longer term.

I don't expect anyone to contribute, let alone those who I know are struggling themselves, but I would be immensely and forever grateful for any support.
