:boost_requested: EMERGENCY mutual aid for April PLEASE HELP, 3 DAYS LEFT (630/800) It's me, JJ, hi. I'm raising money for healthcare and food - the single disability check pays for our family's utilities and nothing more. I am intersex, queer, visibly disabled, biracial, schizophrenic, and probably at least a few other things that society frowns upon. Our house is falling apart, we have no hot water heater, and I'm very immunocompromised. We need $170 more to survive this second half of April - This includes doctors, prescriptions, basic medical supplies, and groceries. You can help! First there's Paypal. It's fast, and you can even send just a couple of dollars. Any amount helps. https://paypal.me/ramavabray And then there's Patreon, where our music and art and such go. You can see all the projects going on. Did you know I've been slowly working on writing enough music to be considered an album this year? Maybe I'll succeed! https://patreon.com/ifwhen So please help. Give if you're able, and boost. We're really struggling and need your help. You're saving our lives. Thank you for reading, and I hope you have a great day. @mutualaid@fedigroups.social @mutualaid@ovo.st #disability #MutualAid #MutualAidRequest #IndigenousMutualAid #TransMutualAid #TransCrowdFund #DisabilityCrowdfund #neuroDivergent #ActuallyADHD #ActuallySchizophrenic #LGBTQIA #poverty #SettlerSaturday #DisabilityMutualAid #TransCrowdfund #HelpFolksLive2026 #DisabilityMutualAid #Queer #QueerMutualAid

Mutual aid, boosts appreciated Sensitive
[$442/600 complete] For those who didn’t know, I am a 29-year old gamer and college student. I was diagnosed with autism since early age. I am very dependent on my pension and my aunt on my budget, however most of it went for food. So I have set this fundraising to help me cover college-related fees, free tuition couldn’t cover beyond intended purpose. Today, I find myself in urgent need of support, so I need a lot to cover post-college and burial expenses.

I've been deep diving into this YouTube channel. It has great non-binary and neurodivergent (especially autistic) content. The one thing that keeps catching me off guard is that they are framing neurodivergence as a disability. Is that a cultural thing that I missed (they are in the UK)? Or is it the perception of this YouTuber? I've always framed it as a different type of brain and way of looking at the world. I'll still keep watching and supporting their content, but it's something that keeps niggling me. @AdelaideAlchemist@www.youtube.com @autistics@fedigroups.social #ActuallyAutistics #NonBinary #YouTube #Disability

EMERGENCY MUTUAL AID - $210/600 :boostRequest:

Hey all! Friendly neighborhood mod Glitch here. Trans, nonbinary, neurodivergent, and struggling with ME/CFS and degenerative disc disease which has left me disabled and unable to work. I am going through the process of getting state benefits, which will help me get on SSI/SSDI, but until then I need help.

I need help with a bunch of things, primarily paying my storage unit since I haven’t been able to get help with it. Goal’s been adjusted due to the late fees added ($50) so I need $250 for that, and the rest of the funds raised will go for stuff not covered by my EBT like cat food, cat litter, personal care stuff and other items. Thanks!

EMERGENCY MUTUAL AID - $210/500 :boostRequest:

I am going through the process of getting state benefits, which will help me get on SSI/SSDI, but until then I need help.

I am in need of help with funds for cat food/cat litter, personal care and hygiene items, and other needs not covered by EBT. I also need help covering my storage unit this month ($200), which is due by the 20th since my friend was unable to cover it this month. Help is greatly appreciated!

At least 160,000 people to be removed from NDIS as Labor unveils “unavoidable and urgent” cuts

  • as the fossil fuel industry rubs their hands together grinning and awaiting the sweet sweet cash-influx..

“At least 160,000 people are expected to be removed from the National Disability Insurance Scheme by 2030, as the Albanese government looks to claw back savings by changing who can access the scheme.

The health minister, Mark Butler, also announced on Wednesday the $50bn scheme’s growth rate will be brought down to just 2% every year until 2030 in an effort to curb annual plan inflation and produce billions in savings.

The government will dramatically increase the categories of service providers required to register with the federal government, adding more higher risk activities, including personal care, daily living supports, and supports provided in closed settings.”

  • So while the responsibilities of the care providers are increased, their pay goes down.

“There are about 760,000 people on the scheme at the moment, meaning at least 160,000 will no longer be able to access the NDIS within four years.

“These are hard decisions – but they’re unavoidable and urgent,” Butler said.”

  • But apparently new gas projects, perks for the fossil fuel industry, paying the DT regime $368b for subs we’ll never receive, etc.etc.etc. are ‘Easy decisions’ for Labor.. Well done Labor, good job, as usual.. 🙄

An intetesting peculiarity of living in #SocialHousing is that we are explicitly banned from having window-based #AC in our units. While I live in #Alberta, my understanding is that this ban is found throughout social housing #leases in #Canada. Granted, the writing style and language choices strongly suggest such leases were drafted in the early 1970s at the latest, and back then I would have easily agreed that #AirConditioning would not be necessary. However, 50-some years on, the heat is routinely a bajillion (estimated 😛) degrees higher and #disabled folks and others in social housing are BANNED* from installing what is literally life-saving equipment under the 'new normal' of our #FireSeason summers. *TBC: portable AC units are not explicitly banned (not commercially-available yet when the leases were written??? 🤔) but these have limited range and are usually energy-inefficient compared to modern AC window units 6/x #health #safety #medical #medications #disability #poverty

In light of the above--a combination of increasing environmental stressors that negatively affect my #disability management and day-to-day functionality against a background of ongoing pandemic--it should come as no surprise that my #SocialHousing unit is presently the very opposite of tidy. Annual stretches of multi-month #physical non-functionality from #ExtremeHeat (and also often terrible #AirQuality) make it tough to keep up with all but the most basic tasks. And for many #disabled folks, our disablities, chronic #MedicalConditions, necessary #medications, and so forth may already have made "keeping up with the basics" pretty challenging in the best of times. And these are NOT the best of times. Not by a long shot. 7/x #housekeeping #chores #DailyCare #DailyRoutines #RoutineTasks

In my own Quest to Survive, my #kitchen has been the nerve-centre of designing/creating/building/modifying things to help me stay alive through the crisis of the moment, as well as as more obvious ongong crises such as extreme heat, terrible air quality, etc. In some cases, #OffTheShelf technology to mitigate an issue exists, but (for example) both #poverty and #lease requirements prevent me from acquiring energy-efficient cooling technology. Even if I pay 100% of the cost of buying and installing a #window #AirConditioner, it means a breach of lease and possible #eviction. Given that I'm pretty sure I would not survive many days of being #unhoused (due to #MedicalConditions and #disability-management challenges, not due to any fellow unhoused neighbours), I have worked very hard to figure out other ways to mitigate heat in my unit. 8x #mitigations #experiements #SelfHelp #tenancy

Apologies for digressing somewhat into the weeds: the point is that all of this figuring-stuff-out on an #AISH (provincial #disability pension) that has not risen since 2016, is expensive, time- and (personal)energy-intensive AND are all genuinely monumental accomplishments given my disabilities and lack of functionality in extreme heat. My #mitigations don't even necessarily make things comfortable, they just make it less-likely I'll die from preventable consquences of #ExtremeHeat. And this point is important, because I HAVE been successful in not-dying (yay! 🙂), but the mitigations are NOT SUFFICIENT for me to live a 'normal life' (my normal, under my normal range of restrictions/challenges) during the #FireSeason and #HeatSeason. IOW, not a lot of extras get done during these extended periods. 10x #chores #housekeeping #management

For a little over a year now, I have worked with a #HoardingSpecialist. This is someone trained according to the #BestPractises of present medical knowledge regarding #HoardingDisorder and provides me hands-on support to reduce and remove items from my unit. This has been extraordinarily helpful, with one caveat: From my POV, this specialist perspective is not necessarily one informed by the additional complications of #disability. Some of the issues I face unique to my (or others with similar) disabilities are able to be mitigated by technologies or devices. Purpose-built--IF they exist--are often extraordinarily expensive due to the relvatively miniscule market needing that item. Classic example: many gadgets people like to make fun of, perhaps uniquely-specific kitchen gadgets, are only availble cheaply because they CAN be sold as a novelty item to many, yet are critically important for a few. 16/x #MobilityAids #mitigations

So there are definitely moments of confusion amd/or explanation required as to why I genuinely NEED to retain this item or that item, because this is non-obvious to the hoarding specialist. Family and friends usually know or can recognise why I have something or something is located in an odd place (as opposed to where one might expect considering the item's intended purpose), but even they sometimes might be scratching their heads over something. Aside: I just realised that if I ever have the time, perhaps adding large labels like the classic #Batman #TV series did on their #batcave gadgets would be helpful to the many who aren't able to recognise a #repurposing. 🦇 😂 17/x #disability #accessibility #mitigation #modification #alteration #repurposing

And of course there is a real risk that a person with #HoardingDisorder isn't going to be very open to getting rid of something that isn't needed now or ever. I note that the fickle variations in my own disabilities means that I have learned the hard way to think long and carefully about getting rid of something I have used previously to mitigate an issue that appears to have resolved! All too often, a week after getting rid of such an item, the disability-mitigation need returns, agh! And can you find the equivalent again, whether new or secondhand? Double-agh (aka NO!). 🙄😬😡 18/x #assessment #decluttering #retention #removal #disability #mitigation
