Support disabled artist Empress Eyrie

*Edit* I did not expect such a wonderful response, thank you all so much, any extra raised will go into savings to ensure the coming months are smoother than they would have been before.

I am so grateful for everyone, thank you!

Hello, I am Ella, better known as Empress Eyrie, I am a Canberra based disabled perfomer and artist. In April last year I was severely injured by a private company (more details cannot be disclosed as it is still very much on going), this has lead to 7 months of weekly expensive doctors appointments, less abilty to work and extreme pain for that entire time. As someone who relys on Mobility Aids to get around (walking sticks, walkers even wheelchair on bad days) having a shoulder injury means I am no longer able to use my aids properly IF at all under drs orders. This has restricted me to basically always staying at home or needing help to leave the house.

This community care request is to help me get back to a place where life is manageable. Paying out of pocket for medical bills has left me in debt and having to pick between medical bills or food shopping each week. I have exhausted borrowing from family, sold what I could from around the house and tried my best to keep working but at this stage it has become too much and my mental health is suffering.

I was pushed to make this page by loved ones wishing to support me and so I hope that this can maybe be a bit of support when I need it most.

Thank you for being here and anything you can donate to help me at this hard time.

What money will be used for

♡ To catch up on household bills that have fallen behind

♡ Stock our pantry as we haven't done a good food shop in a very long time and are living on bare minimum

♡ Help pay my weekly medical bills (as insurance only covers 15% of it each time) as well as help pay for ubers to appointments rather than catch buses which causes more pain and strain

♡ Help me afford my medication (not all covered by the PBS sadly)

♡ Give me a chance to breathe without having to overwork myself, aggravate my pain and make it worse

Every little bit helps

Thank you so much for your time and support ❤️

(Unfortunately I am a long way off finding such as the NDIS for assistance and have exhausted other options and avenues)
