UPDATE: I have managed to get enough resources to survive for being snowed in until Monday at least i hope so!!! some of this is reliant upon mail being able to get here on saturday and sunday which??? i hate asking people to do this but i will be without truly necessary medicine not available locally. everything else i picked up for a few days. i have medicine/food/water. i didn't get gas or my tires filled up but i did ok otherwise i hope. tysm to everyone who helped and if you couldn't it is ok. at this point i won't be able to leave the house until at least sunday but i should be alright for a few days <3 <3 <3 nathaxnne
Hello! my name is nathaxnne walker. i am a disabled trans woman. i live alone. i get 2/3rds of what i made in 2009 in federal disability. the only other income i receive is from my retail job where i can only work like a max of 18 hours a week. after taxes that isn't much. my apartment is not really a liveable space. my car requires so much maintenance to keep going i don't know what to do. i can't even begin to think about those larger problems. i have not great executive functioning or sensory processing but i do ok enough to survive independently given enough resources but i am inefficient.
there is a snow storm coming on saturday. i had to give up another shift because of this storm. i live a half-hour away by highway from my job because that is where i can afford to live. i cannot park next to my apartment. i have to walk blocks to get to and from my car. this effectively strands me in bad weather. i am looking at being trapped in my apartment for days. in addition to all the neurological stuff i also have serious orthopedic mobility issues. i have fallen on ice before and never really recovered. the last time it happened i was off of my feet for 8 months. then i had a partner to help. now i live alone.
i am totally freaking out. it is the middle of the night. in less than one day i have to get food and water and coffee and medicine for days and days. i have one meal. i have nowhere near enough medicine to last through the day on saturday let alone a multi-day weather event.
i live with severe chronic pain, both endemic and environmentally triggered. the only thing that has ever really helped is medical marijuana and tons of anti-inflammatories. when i try and go off of one of them or cut back any more than i already have i get too sick to function at all which means i can't go to my job or even properly communicate with other people.
i went off here and rambled due to anxiety but then deleted it. i need help today getting food, water, medicine, gas. i am asking here online because i have asked everyone else in my life whom i could ask, most of whom have already helped to whatever extent they could. living under this degree of continuous crushing poverty should not be how disabled people live. we should be able to be autonomous, in decent housing, with health care suited to our needs. it is a world i do not think i will live to see.
please if you can help me i can receive monies at numbatwombat21 at gmail dot com through paypal or google pay. i will prioritize medicine for chronic pain over food but i would really like to have food and water also. thank you for reading. if you cannot help please know i understand. we are a decade into a horrifying depression that we the people have been asked to bear for the super wealthy.
