685€/1500€ and more
With my friend @pierrot , we need help. We are French people with disabilities and we struggle with financial issues. So, I proposed to make a crowdfunding a bit particular.
You will find several payment methods on the original post in French there : https://eldritch.cafe/@Lisoo/116398346300689389 and the main Paypal for this is mine : https://www.paypal.me/ebb91
His situation is urgent, because he only has 900€/month while his rent is 650€, and has to pay bills and food, for him and his friend who has been put onto guardianship (her psychological distress has been instrumentalized to confiscate her financial autonomy).
He is not able to work but he works anyway, damaging his health and his sanity.
This month, the financial struggle was so intense that he has to work a half-time, and he is so exhausted, plus the payment will only be done at the end of the month. Yet, this situation lasts for months and he risks a banking suspension.
So, for this crowdfunding, the first and urgent step was 400€, and has been reached by the French speaking people.
All this situation is due to the mechanism of French healthcare which doesn’t care if the disabled people have or not resources now, and base the pension on anterior incomes.
Oh, and some last month’s jobs haven’t paid him in time, because as usual, society never let you recover when you have a problem, even worse when it’s a psychic trouble, caused by the society. (I’m enraged!)
Because of the total burnout and financial stress, first he can’t work again and again, and secondly he can’t focus on administrative procedures to obtain the financial help which he’s entitled to.
So, to allow him to recover a little and do these things, he needs 1500€ for the end of the month: this amount plus the half-time pay will relieve him, and make it possible for him to rest a little bit the next month, to get stronger and fulfil the procedures.
It’s the second step, 1100€ in addition to the first 400€, for the end of the month.
Usually it’s my job to help people with these administrative procedures, but I’m disabled too, and my health has become so bad that I can’t even do these procedures for me.
My financial situation is not so immediatly urgent than his, I try to manage despite the fact that a third of my incomes have been cut for 3 months because of the mechanism of the WTF-French social welfare who take too much time to reconsider our current resources. (Did I say that I’m enraged?!)
And because last October I loaned 150€ to Pierrot to replace his dish-washer (you know how it’s important in our disability situations!), and I’m ok with the fact he can’t give it back because his health has decreased (I have been in this situation 2 years ago, and I thank you my friend who accepted that without judging, it’s so relieving), I have proposed this particular thing in this crowdfunding: when the second step will be reached, the surplus will be for me. For helping me with my situation, and make me able to buy some disability equipment like « chair-walking sticks » and others things that help me living better, not having dysphoria or others issues.
Even if we don’t reach the second step of 1500€, I will consider his loan won’t be a thing anymore. It’s fair to me.
And if you can help us so that doesn’t impact me more by giving even more, it will be very sweet of you 🥺.
You can give either on my Paypal or others payment methods on the linktree of the French post, we will share the donations to each other, given the announced plan: up to the 1500€ I’ll give him the money received and beyond this step, he will give me the extra money he received.
Thanks a lot for being here, for helping us and many more people here.
Boost please, and a lot of love on this community 💜
