Oh My Gosh This Is Awesome. I Really Enjoyed It: Two Of My Favourite Minor (in The Show, But Major In

I’m finally able to get life-changing help, and I can’t afford it. Please help spread this. Please help me work towards recovery instead of getting irreparably worse.

Hi, my name is Casper! Here’s some pictures of me to prove I am a real person. TL;DR I am really sick, here’s my donation fund

I just got laid off due to covid 19- I was working full time even though my job was bad for my condition. I’m a chronically ill, disabled, and mentally ill trans and nonbinary person (ehlers danlos syndrome, postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome, narcolepsy, hypermobility, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome, chronic pain syndrome, chronic costochondritis, gastroparesis, endometriosis, PTSD, major depression, anxiety, and much more). I finally moved out of my small town, which only supplied healthcare via deeply transphobic and religious sources. 

Since doing so I have finally had access to care. I started therapy and got my chronic illnesses accurately diagnosed. I have had these illnesses mostly since birth, but they became unmanageable 6 years ago and I have been suffering with no known cure or diagnosis since. These illnesses almost made me drop out of school and have already impacted my career. 

Now I finally have treatment open to me, and it could change my life. Please help me. My illnesses are actively getting worse and threatening to prevent me from doing the only things I care about. I have not been bedridden like this since before I figured out how to manage my symptoms, and I have never been in this much constant pain. 

My shitty insurance will not cover anything until I pay $1000 for my deductible per treatment type. I need 3 types (listed below). After I do that, they’ll cover 80% of the expenses and I can hopefully handle it then. Unemployment will be enough to cover my rent and food, luckily, but not much else. State healthcare would not help me more than my current healthcare. I am applying for disability now that I have a diagnosis but it is a lengthy process. 

1. My insurance WAS covering therapy but surprise! They changed their minds, didn’t tell me until this week, and now I’m $850 in debt to my therapist and I’ll have to stop therapy cold turkey right when I need it most. Once I pay back the $850 debt + $150 to hit the deductible, I can continue therapy. That’s hoping I don’t accrue a ton of interest before that happens and become hopelessly in debt. 

2. My physical therapy to help me stop dislocating my joints constantly and being in so much pain I can’t sleep, walk, or draw was slated to start April 15th (today) and continue weekly for 7 weeks. If I can pay $1000 of visits, I hopefully can manage to pay the co-pay after insurance kicks in. 

3. And finally, I desperately need a psychiatrist. Psychiatrists are the only kind of doctor that can give me the kind of medication that will help the majority of my physical illnesses - not just my mental illnesses. My nerves bombard my brain with pain signals and the only way to begin to help me is to quiet those signals. Again, I’ll need to pay $1000 to that doctor as well before my benefits kick in. 

This isn’t even counting what I’ll be needing to pay for my medications and mobility aids (I need splints to stop my joints from dislocating, but they are not cheap). I am going to have to put those things on hold, along with a terrible tooth infection that I have been trying to save up to fix for 3 years now. 

GoFundMe’s 3% fee tacks on about $90 assuming I somehow manage to raise this money

That brings me to a minimum of $3,090 to get into the doctor’s office.

Please help spread this. I know everyone is in a tough spot right now, and I deeply appreciate it. My life was just about to finally get better when this came crashing down on me. 

Here’s some of my art. Its the only thing I have to offer the world most days. I want to continue living and making my work. Please help.

I actually fucking adore you for cranachan being there. I live in France and at Uni we have a lot of international dinners and since I’m veggie and have no oven whatsoever (rather shit) cranachan is always my beloved in this situation. It’s funny how many people can’t do the ch sound right either, it’s fabulous sharing cracking food from Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 especially cause everyone thinks its unremittingly abysmal. Also had not a clue about the chicken tikka masala legend Ali Ahmed Aslam who’s from my own city and this post prompted some reminisces about the phenomenal curries that we have been honoured to witness and found out that my da loves the Shish Mahal and frequented it a fair bit in the old days though his preferred method of self-immolation was a chicken bhuna. Thanks for this post, much cherished though I have a wretched yearning for a good scone, not really an option in Normandie lol.

hey there LGBTQ kids who are also Christian/Jewish! If you feel like you’re disobeying God, questioning your faith, or feel wrong and dirty for loving who you love, there’s this fantastic site I found today called hoperemains that accurately and thoroughly combs through scripture and its (many) mistranslations, validates your orientation, and basically let’s you know that you’re not pissing off God. It’s insanely thorough and after reading through every page on the entire site it’s super helpful. Go check it out!

Thanks, this is exactly what I needed today, it’s been a very fun day and you provided the cherry on top. It’s super sweet and your writing is gorgeous.

Hiya, can I get why are you in a tree for Kai and Irene please? Thanks.

“Why are you in a tree?” Li Ming asked, looking up at Irene and Kai perched on a thick tree branch.

“Why aren’t you in a tree?” Kai replied, Irene had a book in her hands and Kai had been reading it over her shoulder. They’d moved apart slightly when they’d heard Li Ming coming. Kai’s arms had been around her middle with his cheek on her shoulder before hand.

“Are you stuck?” He frowned.

“No, but Irene may be.” Kai replied, poking Irene in the side. She slid her bookmark in between the pages and turned to him with a sniff.

“I am more than capable of getting out of a tree.” She replied, then she looked down at Li Ming. “Is there something that you needed off one of us, Lord Li Ming?”

“His majesty Ao Shun is looking for prince Kai. I will let him know that he’s stuck up a tree.” Li Ming said, before bowing, and disappearing back into the large orchard that was over looked by one of the more luxurious palaces that Irene had seen.

“I suppose that I should see what that is about.” Kai sighed. Irene slipped the book into her bag. “But I will come and find you once we are done?”

“I’ll probably have to start getting ready for tonight soon.” Irene said. “But I will see you then.” Kai smiled before leaning in to kiss her.

“I will see you there, you’re going to be the most beautiful woman there, I already know it.” Irene rolled her eyes. “Don’t look at me like that. I know you will be, you don’t need make up or fine dresses to look beautiful. You just need a good book and your eyes light up.”

“You are too kind.” She replied.

“No, I’m not. It’s like… like watching the sunrise. Watching you light up is the most beautiful thing I have ever seen and I could sit and watch you read all day.”

“Sadly we have duties. You should see to your uncle before he sends Li Ming back out here.” Kai slipped one arm underneath her thighs and the other around her shoulders. Irene laced her fingers around the back of his neck and shut her eyes as Kai jumped down from the tree.

There was a rush of air against her face and then they landed and Kai set her on her feet. She opened her eyes again. “I will see you soon.” She said softly. “Don’t keep me waiting tonight, you’re my dance partner after all.”

“I get a dance?”

“You’ll get two if you ask nicely.”

This is very pretty, that building looks beautiful!

Go Ethiopia!
