Hello! I'm Moth, a physically/mentally disabled and queer artist. I have been disabled since I was a child. I have POTS, Autism, PTSD, and various other disorders that prevent me from working no matter how hard I try. I live alone and have no one close to me to support me. For the past 3 years, I have been trying to get approved for SSI so that I don't have to rely on my friends and strangers for money. I am an artist and do commissions when I can, but they take a lot of energy from me and I physically cannot do several of them just to survive every month.

Unfortunately, my latest SSI hearing in June 2026 was denied again. I plan to appeal, but it will most certainly be at least 6 months before I have another hearing and even longer before a decision, if approved. This has been an extremely uphill battle, and will continue to be one. I opened this fundraiser in the hopes that I can have a somewhat consistent source of income to help pay my monthly rent and bills.

Please note that the goal may increase over time so that I can continue to pay my rent. Thank you for your time!
