Thursday,April 14th: Hi everyone, I’m Gemma, a bi, mentally ill disaster, who is in desperate need of help as I’ve recently tested positive for Covid, and I need help getting groceries/medication delivered during isolation.
As most of you are already aware from my previous posts, I have been struggling financially these past few months due to my welfare benefit (Universal Credit) being under a review, which is due to my worsening mental/physical health and the UK’s controversial changes to how benefits are assessed and assigned. And last week I attended an appointment with my work coach, where I told them of my latest PCOS diagnosis and medication increase for my MDD. However, since that appointment, I have been feeling increasingly unwell with headaches, nausea and a fever, and after taking several flow tests, I’ve tested positive with Covid and I have to isolate for two-three weeks.
I know this is a huge ask, and I’m completely heartbroken to be asking for help again, but I desperately need some, as I need to get groceries delivered and medicine to help with my symptoms/pain relief until I’m cleared.
If anyone could spare any amount to help me, even if it’s just £1/$1/€1, it would literally save my life, and sharing definitely helps just as much as donations. Nobody is obligated in any way to donate if they can’t or don’t want to, I know we’re all struggling right now.
I don’t like to use this blog to promote things, but this is a very special case. Please take a moment or two to read about the lovely life of a beautiful bird, and to take a look at some amazing hand-made goods you Definitely Want. I had the great fortune to meet one of the most loving birds I’ve ever encountered, and the ladies that own that bird are in a tight spot. They’re also dear friends of mine.
In addition to shirts, their store offers CUSTOM PATCHES, including designs from Tiger&Bunny, Utena, Kingdom Hearts, The World Ends With You, and the full set of Psychonauts Patches, and more.
Hey! Hi. We—-that is myself, Mamaflash, and Dem-hips—-are running a fundraiser this week. On Labor Day we had an emergency vet visit. The story itself could be triggering, so I’ll provide a link to it below and just say here that we lost too much money to handle with our current jobs. (And, more importantly, the most amazing pet I’ve ever known.)
In happier news, in order to try and cover rent, we’re doing a second printing of our Yowamushi Pedal shirts!
The last con left our stock pretty empty, but we’re bringing the screens back for both our Peak and GROSS patterns all this week. Please check ‘em out! You can also contact us at our gmail (Upstagemail) if you have any questions about sizing or potential color changes, and we’ll do the best we can to accommodate you.
If you want to know what the fundraiser’s in honor of, or just find out a little more about a wonderful animal, here’s an info post about Nonny. It’s not a quarter of what she deserves, but it’s all I’ve got in me at the moment.
NOTE: We’re working to scrape up our other goods as well to place on the storenvy, so if you’re not interested in bikes, please bookmark it and check back in a bit to see if we have something else that interests you—-how about cute whales or Psychonauts? We’re working on it!
