hi fedi, i'm sorry to ask for #mutualaid funds so soon after my last request for them & this close to christmas, but i need funds to pay my water bill. it's $32.77 & due on the 29th december, & i don't think i'll be able to pay it by then... i've been buying christmas etc. presents & gift bags (i'm shit at wrapping gifts) for my chosen family & paying my rent & other bills, so i don't have enough left over to pay it....... i'm also seeing my boyfriend later today & staying overnight since it's christmas eve in our time zone, so that $11.21 will go to buying snacks & a caffienated drink along the way. the $1.08 is my savings.
i'm on disability payments & my rent is over half of it. i need to live by myself for multiple reasons like trauma, so the bills & groceries aren't split. my groceries are expensive because i'm on a medically restricted diet, i have sensitive skin & sensory issues. while at the moment i don't pay for the majority of my meds thanks to me hitting the medicare safety net limit, that'll change on the 1st of january when the limit resets. i'm on a lot of meds too.
i've had to increase my private health insurance coverage, so its cost will increase from next week onwards. i'm also looking into getting renter's insurance because i'm worried 1 of my original family members will break in & fuck my shit up, or i get impacted by a natural/man-made disaster.
i'm estranged from my original family because they're mostly abusive bigots who treated me like shit, especially after i came out as a trans man, & i don't want to make things awkward for the ones who aren't. i don't have anyone in my non-fedi life i can ask to pay this for me, even though it's not a huge amount. my friends/chosen family are all poor &/or live paycheck to paycheck. i can't ask my boyfriend either since i already owe him money, & soon i'm going to owe him more because i need a medical scan that costs $200+ since australian medicare no longer covers it... the scan is for a longterm condition i have that i'd like to keep private.
payid & beem are preferred since i won't lose any money due to fees & i can't use paypal for this bill.
