URGENT MUTUAL AID - $238/300

Hello all! It's your friendly neighborhood mod Glitch, and I'm in need of some help.

I am a trans nonbinary neurodivergent chronically ill disabled individual who has been unable to qualify for disability, and I'm just out here trying to survive.

I am in need of help to pay my internet and power bill, groceries (I don't get my EBT till the 16th), cat food/cat litter, personal care and hygiene items, and a bus pass so I can get to medical appointments.

Help is greatly appreciated!

As Jamie Shields argues, self-identifiying is an important aspect of disabled people's autonomy:

'If someone chooses “Disabled person” or “person with a Disability,” “autistic” or “person on the spectrum,” “blind” or “person with sight loss”, that’s theirs. Not yours, but theirs....

We don’t need more debates about which words are “right.” We need more respect for each individual’s right to choose'

hey, folks. the month's not half-over yet, I know, but I overestimated how long this chicken korma recipe would actually last me. I've got rice for several meals yet, but nothing really to eat it with, and I also have a script to pick up Soon™.

(I also applied for disability services, which should help significantly…in about two weeks, assuming I'm approved.)

mkuh.nhs.uk/wp-content/uploads "Appendix 1: MOTHERS WITH LEARNING DISABILITIES GUIDANCE TOOL
V
Value family – Involve individuals who best know the woman with learning disabilities as they can provide additional information that may be helpful to the decision-making process.
A
Avoid making assumptions – Do not assume that because someone has a diagnosis of a learning disability that they cannot be good enough parents
L
Look for support – Professionals should not work in isolation and should involve learning disability services for further support and guidance.
U
Understand emotions – Take into consideration that many mothers with learning disabilities have their own anxieties and worries about motherhood and fear of judgment. Do not assume they are being difficult.
E
Establish reasonable adjustments – Professionals should put reasonable adjustments into place to ensure women with learning disabilities can comprehend and understand information to give informed consent. I.E. easy read, pictorials, large font, visual and hearing aids.

M
Mental Capacity – Do not assume capacity. In liaison with the Mental Capacity Act 2005, professionals should consider completing a Mental Capacity Assessment (MCA) to establish whether the women can give informed consent. Professionals should also consider best interest, Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards (DoLS) and involving an Independent Mental Capacity Advocate (IMCA).
E
Efficient discharge – Professionals should consider possible support that can be put into place to ensure a person-centered discharge is consolidated. Consider, access to health and additional services, transport, financial support and accommodation.

THINK... VALUE ME"

Omfg. Read section 3.4 "Learning Disabilities support" on page 5. Literally everyone will be helped by these suggestions, not just diagnosed disabled people.
mkuh.nhs.uk/wp-content/uploads
"3.4 Learning Disabilities support
Although 7% of people with learning disabilities become parents ( Best Beginnings) the Equality Act 2010 obligates responsibility to service providers to ensure that reasonable adjustments are put into place to ensure the holistic needs of people with learning disabilities are met to the highest standards.
Remember to think VALUE ME! (Appendix 1)

1. Early intervention strategies should be considered. Ensure that the community midwife is involved and if they are under 20 consider discussion with the specialist teenage pregnancy midwife for additional support.
2. Professionals should ensure that adequate time is provided for consultations, appointments and formal discussions. Taking time to allow the woman to understand the information in
order to make an informed decision.
3. Professionals should ensure that reasonable adjustments are put into place to aid with understanding. Including: easy read, pictorials, large font, visual and hearing aids.
4. Abilities led practice rather than inabilities led practice. Professionals should avoid making assumptions based on a diagnosis of a learning disability as often mothers will have their own anxieties, fears and worries regarding motherhood.
5. Avoid assuming that mothers are being difficult. Consider other possible reasons such as the environment, loud noises, bright lights (especially if they have a dual diagnosis of learning disability and ASD), sensory needs, stress and anxiety. Provide a side room if possible."

It too hard get help in the #usa.

I think of a time where I was begging for help, and didn't really know what could help before I realized I had #tourettes and severe #cptsd. I was recovering from drugs, misdiagnosed and nearly dead.

I had to almost die, be hospitalized many times, and go to several doctors for proof before I could get on #disability and find Full Service Partnership for #housing and other assistance.

You shouldn't have to almost die to be worthy of aid.

Thanks to the person who donated this morning!

We're $497 short of budget for medicine and doctors, so we're asking for help. We're a found family of queer mixed race and indigenous folks, we're disabled, poor, and living off benefits in the US south.

I'm trying really hard to get to a place where I can make money from my music. It's hard.

Please give if you can, and boost. You're saving our lives here.

Thank you for reading.
