Symptom: Social Security Disability Rejection
61% of Social Security applicants are denied after their first application. I am now on the second appeal, when 49% of remaining applicants are approved, and have hired a lawyer (disability lawyers are only paid if they win your case).
I set a new goal on ko-fi, in order to get more illmarks pieces into the world. The fundraising would cover framing two Med Art Advocacy pieces, and submission fees + professional scanning for the Mütter Medical Museum, a Senior Living Center, a Health Care Center & 3 other shows.
If you are able to comfortably, please buy me a ko-fi. We’re 1/3 of the way to the goal!

CW: U.S Politics, 2024 elections, disability
A lot of people in the U.S. think that people with disabilities have it made: just apply for welfare! The reality is that more people go broke or die waiting for any benefits than those who get any help--and that help is limited and cruel.
Call your representatives and push them to pass #SocialSecurityReform
Also, vote for a better government.
