I’m unable to walk and at risk of becoming homeless

sophaldred:

I’m have a neurological condition that permanently and completely prevents me from both sitting and walking. Detailed medical evidence is linked.  I’ve been in an unstable situation since I was forced out of a subsidised apartment run by the Salvation Army for being disabled [x]. 

I only receive $197.65/week in social security payments, but I currently need to meet $490/week in private rent. I would immediately become homeless if I can’t pay this and it will place me in a life threatening situation with my level of disability. There is no alternative housing for me in the very immediate future.

There are also costs for my ongoing home care, at around $35/hour. It’s a sweltering summer in Sydney and I have no independent ability to maintain basic hygiene in my environment without this. I also have obligations of regular repayments for outstanding nursing care invoices which total $300/week. 

Please, please consider donating through my YouCaring page or PayPal.  These donations are my only way of surviving this situation. My friend Tahira is also offering art commissions as rewards for donations and commissions details are at this link. Thank you for your support.
