eta: SUPPORT HAS BEEN WONDERFUL, can comfortably get meds And groceries and probably pay back part of rent too 🥺 thank you guys

hello! kitkat crimeronan here with a new request for assistance 😔 god truly does give his hardest battles to his sexiest soldiers..... [stares mournfully into the distance]

the short version is! we cannot rly afford the meds & medical-related food i need at the moment. the financial need is short-term - the household Should be okay financially after i get paid for some upcoming freelance work, but i can’t.... really.... wait several days to get the meds and food.

the longer version is! back in september when our finances were tight because of health insurance issues and illness, you guys saved us So Much headache & stress. i hate to be making another post like this so soon after that but am Cautiously Optimistic that this is the last big struggle for a while

basically: what i Thought was an injury was actually a mad fucked up gastrointestinal issue. the first attempt to fix it Almost worked but not fully, so The Big Guns are being deployed, etc. i need to go on two different heavy-duty antibiotics and do a specialized diet for a week, and then i’ll be fine.

truly not bad, as treatments go! like. almost miraculous, as treatments go

the One problem is that i STILL don’t have the billable info for my health insurance policy - i can be reimbursed later, once i Do have the info (yay!), but for now i’ve been paying out of pocket. and it has been.... uh..... a lot of doctor’s visits. and meds. (and expensive imaging, but the hospital staff told me i didn’t need to pay upfront there 🥰)

so between that and my wife’s health insurance application Also being in process, i have paid...... [counts on fingers] ~$560 more than usual for health expenses. Just This Month. 

i do not have $560 in excess savings floating around my typical monthly income.

rafi has been covering a lot of our daily expenses like groceries to make up the difference, and they also paid significantly more than half of rent this month (though i will be paying them back when i’m able). so their funds are Also pretty depleted. i borrowed some money from my mom to replace our food after our fridge died (SERIOUSLY. THE FRIDGE FUCKING DIED. ON TOP OF ALL OF THIS.) but i ended up using it to pay for a doctor’s visit instead

all this is to say, Everything Happens So Much. just wanna buy groceries and medication, man, what gives :(

so! any help will go toward paying for my meds, my food, and general household groceries. if anything's left after that then it'll go toward the usual household bills and also reimbursing rafi for being an absolute angel who can do no wrong

as with the last time i made a post like this: Please don’t feel pressured to give if you aren’t able, and definitely don't feel pressured to give a Lot. literally anything & everything helps. i really appreciate you taking the time to read this, thanks to everyone for being so supportive and kind while i've been In The Health Shit these past few months 💕

#donations #medical #long post #also yes it's okay that my whole name is just flapping about in the wind #there's this absolutely insane part of me that thinks making a second donation post when we should've only needed the one is like. #'failing' somehow. as if i lied when i said we'd be fine. and it's like kitkat. girl #sometimes things happen and people need help and sometimes they even need help TWO WHOLE TIMES and that is fine. #patiently holding my own hand and therapizing myself
