  1. I honestly really do not feel very well at all, between the constant pain I exist in, the exhaustion and the enduring stress of #disability and #poverty, my body and my mind simply are beyond wore out and I really don't feel well, it would be a very large help if some serious #financial burdens where lifted from me and I had the monetary means to actually take care of myself, your support and compassion right now could very well be a literal life line;

    Urgent need: **$7,848**
    Monthly survival: **$1,500**
    URGENT: ***$26,628*** to climb out.
    Short-term liberation: $25,000
    **$5 million** to build a forever home.

    **The world is indifferent. But your kindness can rewrite the script.**

  3. :cybre_glitch: ** EMERGENCY GLASSES MUTUAL AID $25/125 ** :cybre_glitch:

    My glasses broke. They are a custom pair of no-line bifocals from Zenni that meet my prescription, and I can't see without them. If I order them today I can get them rush shipped and have them most likely by early next week. Not ideal, but Zenni has my prescription on file which helps immensely.

    So please help me out so I can place the order today! I cut down the goal because I just want to meet the immediate need, then once I get my disability approved I'll get another pair.

    No movement.

    Deadline ASAP:
    ⏳ $55/$250 for groceries, $195 still needed to cover my monthly groceries. I really need food to survive.

    Deadline 16 August 2026:
    ⏳ $0/$125 for electricity, water, and internet

    $538 in total still needed this month.

    They won't survive without shelter. Please 😭😭

    Nothing coming in, meaning every dollar is a hell of a lot more than is coming in!

    Disabled displaced Brown #Indigenous Latina family where there's a lot of 🧊. On verge of being on street. Also insurance lapse means state gets notified & suspends IDs. Sabina is disabled & mom is elderly w/ dementia. They both have compromised thermoregulation & it's 100°F.

  15. Privilege and luck play a huge role in whether you survive our healthcare system.

    Bias, racism and misogyny are rampant and frequently cost people their lives.

    A surgical complication almost killed me when I was 24.

    Luck, privilege and a 22 year old boy saved my life.

    No one’s survival should be based on luck or how much privilege they have.

    People should have a reasonable expectation of safety in a hospital.

    They should be treated the same regardless of their skin colour, marital status, sexual orientation or insurance status.

    Sadly that’s not how things work.

    I had a hysterectomy when I was 24. Doctors expected me to “sail through” recovery because I was young and fit.

    Unfortunately they were wrong. My body wasn’t recovering, it was decompensating.

    I had many abdominal surgeries before the hysterectomy. I knew the difference between normal post op pain and something being “wrong”.

    After surgery I felt like I was dying.

    My pain worsened every day.

    I became more fatigued. I couldn’t eat or sleep.

    But no one believed me.

    The surgeon discharged me.

    I returned to the ER and told them something was wrong.

    They dismissed me and sent me home.

    I went back multiple times and each time was treated like a nuisance.

    I was gaslit and told my pain was “normal”.

    No one even ran basic tests.

    Even people in my life started to doubt me.

    Told me I should just rest and stop bothering the folks at the ER.

    I KNEW something was wrong but I was rapidly losing the ability to self advocate as I became too weak to speak or even sit up.

    My 22 year old boyfriend came to check on me and instantly realized things were dire.

    He called a coworker to take us back to the hospital.

    He caused a scene to ensure a doctor saw me and I wasn’t sent home again.

    They threatened to call the police but he refused to back down.

    He was right.

    I had a massive internal bleed and an infected abscess.

    I was immediately evacuated to a larger hospital for emergency surgery and only given a 50/50 chance of survival.

    I spent nearly a month in the hospital recovering.

    I didn’t even want to go back to the ER that day.

    I was thoroughly beaten down.

    Being dismissed and mistreated so many times left me feeling hopeless and like I would rather die in my own bed than be disrespected in the hospital AGAIN.

    No one should face these types of decisions.

    No one should have to fight that hard for care.

    Had my boyfriend not believed me, I would have died.

    Had he told me to stop bothering ER staff, I would have died.

    Had he not come to check on me that night, I would have died.

    He wasn’t prepared to handle such an intense life or death situation… but he stepped up because no one else did.

    He saw the danger and fought like hell to protect me.

    That’s privilege.

    The fact that he wasn’t arrested? Privilege and luck.

    I’m grateful to him for being willing to risk his own safety to ensure I got the care I needed, but I hate that it took a man causing a scene to get the healthcare system to pay attention.

    I hate that others have died simply because they didn’t have someone to fight for them.

    We must do better.

    We must call out the bias in medicine and ensure everyone is equally protected.

    We must establish networks of community care so that no one ever has to face the ER alone.

    We must tell our stories so people know they aren’t alone.

    We must amplify the stories of those without platforms so their voices are heard too.

    If you’ve been mistreated, know that it’s not your fault.

    The system needs to change, and we will keep fighting until it does.

  17. RECAP/RECORDING - From paramedic to aphasia advocate isoclive.substack.com/p/a11yny

    Avi Golden was a critical care and flight paramedic until a stroke left him with Broca's aphasia. He now trains EMS, police and firefighters to recognise it — and makes the case for disability sports along the way.

"Meanwhile, people who actually can’t walk still go through life on a perpetual obstacle course, a world of constant unavoidable exertion and perennial minor risks, unfortunate enough to need a cane as a cane and not as a fashion statement. And every last frivolous demand for disability status pulls time, attention, resources, and public sympathy away from them and their needs."

    For those who didn’t know, I am a 30-year old college graduate. I was diagnosed with autism since early age.

    I am very dependent on my pension and my aunt on my budget.

    There would be a lot of problems related to food and survival after graduation, such as fees while looking for a job. Job hunting may not be easy even after graduation.

  27. Disability will happen to almost everyone.

    Most people are only temporarily abled.

    It’s not a moral failing.

    It’s not a choice people make.

    The human body is frail.

    It only takes one illness, accident or stroke of bad luck to forever change your health.

  29. When you’re disabled, people will treat you like you’re broken.

    They’ll act like you’re in the wrong no matter what you do.

    They will insinuate you could “try harder”.

    They will blame you for their discomfort.

    Your disability is not your fault.

    People just can’t face it.
