Today is November 4th, #GivingTuesday and many are already planning their #holidayseason, FYI as of right now this #disabled man existing in #poverty will not be having any #Thanksgiving at all, unless I can raise a whole lot of money, and as it stands I most likely will not be having any #Christmas either, you can certainly help as of right now I need at the bare minimum to get caught up and barely scrape out the rest of this year $5,118, that will go towards #food to eat, #rent for my shelter, #clothing to wear and be warm this #winter, and to finish off a couple of payments I need to payoff as well just maybe if I am lucky get a new mattress to sleep on, your compassion and support would be greatly appreciated right now, thank you for your attention to these matters;

Strong language.

I am Philip, a disabled man living in poverty. My body is deteriorating. My hands hurt. My brain is foggy. I stumble, I drop things, I forget how to spell words a child could write. I live in constant pain. I sleep on a broken bed. I eat once a day—if I eat at all. I go hungry 1–2 weeks every month. I haven’t had a real meal in years.
I am not okay. I am not surviving. I am begging.
Poverty is expensive. Disability is exhausting. Hunger is violent. The world is indifferent. I cry out for help and the silence is deafening. I need $1,500 a month just to live. I need $25,000 to climb out of the pit. I need $5 million to build a life where I can help others like me.
I am not asking for luxury. I am asking for dignity. For food. For rest. For clothes that don’t fall apart. For a bed that doesn’t hurt me. For a moment of peace. For a chance to breathe.
If you’ve ever wondered what despair looks like, this is it. If you’ve ever wanted to make a real difference, this is your chance.

Please help. Every dollar matters. Every share matters. Every act of compassion matters.

The paper was published in Death Studies.”
