URGENT. PLEASE BOOST FOR ME! As many of you know I'm recovering from recent surgeries and complications, and and also still dealing with after effects of three day migraine and a fibro flare. I'm unable to cook for myself currently, and have run out of easy meals to keep me going. As a disabled, chronically ill person who lives under the poverty line it would be much appreciated if you could help me reach my $80 goal so I can get a few more nutritious meals for the next few days as I continue my recovery(this goal will get me two meals a day for 6 days). Thank you so much. I appreciate you all♥️ #mutualaid #boostforreach #boostforreach #kindness #love #disabledmutualaid #disabled #disability #bigender #chronicillness #mutualaidspace #mutual #help #assist #leadiwthlove #kindnessmatters #lgbtqia #lgbtqiaplus #bisexual #spiritual #grateful #gratitude #littlejoys #MutualAidSavesLives #communitymatters #community #food #aid #transcrowdfund @mutualaidspace@mutualaidspace.org @mutualaid@fedigroups.social #appreciation #thanks #youreamazing #amazing #fedi #fedifriends #fediverse https://ko-fi.com/aces_funhouse

PLEASE BOOST FOR ME! It's spring in my corner of the world, and warming up quickly in the rush to summer. I rent my home, and while I have a portable air conditioner in the bedroom, in the high Aussie heat of summer of over 40C/104F, it's still far too hot in the rest of the house, and makes my disabilities and chronic illness worse. I have no aircon or fans in the rest of my tiny apartment, and with my disabilities and chronic illness, I could really use a fan this year, so I'm not shut in the bedroom constantly. I really need a 40cm, metal blade fan for it to be effective along with my usual cooling towel, cooling mat etc. I live under the poverty line, so this is out of reach for me. If you could help make it possible for me to get the fan I need, and help make spring and summer more bearable with disability and chronic health issues, it would be much appreciated. My goal is $99.95(cheapest one I can find and also free delivery to my door as I can't get to a store and cart one home due to disabilities). Thank you so much💖 #boostforhelp #MutualAidRequest #mutualaidspace #disabled #chronicillness #neurodivergent #lgbtqia #plural #bisexual #bigender #pluralgang #mutualaid #MutualAidSavesLives #summer #grateful #hope #love #disabilityrights #gratitude #thankful #smalljoys @mutualaidspace@mutualaidspace.org @mutualaid@fedigroups.social #thankyou #poverty #povertykills #heatkills #heatstrokeprevention #chronicpain #HeatIntolerance https://ko-fi.com/aces_funhouse

For profit healthcare should be abolished. Healthcare is a human right. Insurance companies have been allowed to determine who lives, who dies, who suffers and who goes bankrupt for far too long. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/health/texas-copd-suicide-insurance-delays-medication-b3060531.html #uspol #healthcare #medicare #disability #ableism #chronicillness

Just had coffee. One cup coffee, one cup soy milk, 14g agave; I swapped out my favorite soy milk powder for organic unsweetened silk soy. To no ones surprise I have no sinus reaction. So unfortunately I will have to switch to the healthier more expensive less versatile milk option. I know I shouldn’t look at it as a negative, but it feels like a loss, yet another thing my conditions have taken from me. #health #inflammation #wfpb #vegan #chronicillness

Errands run, dishes done, and bed made with fresh sheets so I can come home to a comfy bed after hospital. Having a little rest, and then we tackle some tidying. I have to fast from midnight, so I'm eating as much as I want until then, and have upped my water intake over the past day so that I give myself the best chance of staying hydrated, and not getting a migraine before surgery(or after, though I'm prone to them after anaesthetic). Resting in between tasks because pain is high, but feeling like I'm on track to being ready😁 #preparing #optimism #hope #focus #disability #chronicillness #chronicpain #hearthealth #kidneys #ptsd #fibromyalgia

I need a very small portable washing machine that would be used only for socks. Can anyone suggest one? It has to be small enough that I can lift it and drain it myself. I can’t put my socks with my regular laundry & hand washing is no longer an option (dislocated wrist) I think this could be a huge spoon saver if I could find one that actually works. Help? #disability #chronicillness #ableism #washingmachine

I am exhausted and limp and overheating, but I have finally taken a SHOWER. For days, our main bathroom has been inaccessible due to mold remediation, and I wasn't up to cleaning the dead bugs out of the shower in the backhouse. Today there was a final application of chemicals, and when I came back home, the vapors had dissipated enough for me to finally spend a few minutes back there. Now I'm damp and clean and moisturized and wearing pajamas for the first time in a week. Things will really be better when we can sleep in our bed instead of on living room furniture, but this feels like a nice step. Hey disease twins, is it POTS that makes you want to puke and pass out after a shower? Because something sure does. #ChronicIllness #IIH #POTS #Fibromyalgia #migraines #DiseaseTwins
