UPDATE: GOAL REACHED! Please help other marginalized folks in need here as my mutual aid goal has been reached now. Massive THANK YOU, FEDI FRIENDS
Bad news. My left ankle foot brace orthotics funding request was denied today. I'm now paying out of pocket for it. It costs $2600. I can pay it but will then be short for 2 utility bills balances owing & some medications costs for April. I picked up a wedding photography side gig for May so will be OK for upcoming months.
I need #MutualAid donations to help pay for:
- partial hydro bill due April 4th, I paid most of balance with $310 owing. We got a disconnection notice letter today & they gave us until Friday.
- $244.45 for Mom's insulin & needles, needed by April 10, when she runs out.
- $142.76 for balance owing on internet bill
Total needed to be raised asap is $697.21.
If you can help me out at all, please send any amount you can via e-transfer ( I can DM email ) or my PayPal or Kofi (link in bio). Please boost, if you're unable to donate. Thank you
@PhoenixSerenity@beige.party Do you need a SPECIFIC brace, or is it a standard off-the-shelf item? Here for example is a standard Swedish AFO from Grayline Medical for $77:

@zakalwe I need a customized brace due to my past multiple surgeries to correct polio rollover foot. I am unable to use store bought braces.
@PhoenixSerenity@beige.party Ah. Sorry to hear that. It was worth asking.
@zakalwe It would be easier/cheaper if I didn't require a custom one.
