A little more help with bills, food, and TP!

Jenessa Hope is organizing this fundraiser.

Hi, I'm Jenessa, Robbo's sister. He has been given the go ahead to return to work after his ankle break, but needs a walker and cannot walk up or down the steep hill to the high school where he supports young adults with disabilities as a job coach.

We expected that the school district would approve the doctor recommended accommodation to get a ride up and down the hill, or find him a light duty assignment until he can walk without the walker, but unfortunately learned today that all they will offer him is unpaid leave for the year and the right to return to work later.

The union is considering next steps, and hopefully will find a light duty assignment for him within the district. If not, next step would be to secure other income, either disability, early retirement, or employment.

Robbo's December 1st (and final school district) paycheck was less than 10% of his usual pay because he has already run out of sick leave. His bills are modest: approximately $950/month for rent and cheap food for the next two months. He will be getting on state insurance, which is scary with his medical issues, but necessary.
