Support My Recovery from Surgery and Homelessness
Donation protected
Hey there, I'm not sure if I've really talked about this but in October I had emergency surgery, getting multiple surgeries on my right side of my torso to drain out thick, infected bile caused by my appendix bursting... it was an extremely hard recovery, tbh I'm still in physical therapy... Well I became homeless during this time, losing everything I own beside the few items in my backpack I brought with me to the hospital... Full disclosure, this broke me mentally just as much as physically and I had a really hard couple of months with a lot of self harm, and worse.. (it's been almost 2 months of nothing of the sort)... So here's the thing, I'm trying to get disability, for mental and physical disabilities I have a case worker through the community mental health department here in GR (Network180) that's helping me and her professional opinion is that she has no doubt I'll get approved .. I can't have an income while applying, so I'm playing the waiting game, living at a homeless shelter, I can't even afford to buy deodorant let alone replace my phone, which decided that it didn't want to live anymore yesterday... Anyone that knows me knows my phone is my entire existence, I'm trying extremely hard to not relapse on Self harming but this on top of my every day life is too much for me to handle, if anyone wants to help I'd really appreciate it... Hell if I could have enough to get a cheap phone and some of the little things like bras and etc to feel human again that would be just so amazing.
