:boost: I need to ask for aid again.

I'm grateful to all who've helped me get this far with trying to pay down the trike debt! 😚 Recent donations went to paying for PT appointments, which I'm still in the middle of.

I'm disabled, with no partner, no children, and little in-person community. I know everyone has a lot of needs right now and everyone's hurting. However, if you're able to spare something to help out,

- I have yet to pay off my mobility aid (which I desperately needed, doctor's orders).

- A fall last Dec worsened one of my disabilities and I'm doing PT again so I can get out of pain enough to sleep through the night. It's all out of pocket.

-And my survival plan is getting into a PhD program and there are unfortunately costs involved with that.
