If we look beyond often biased media reporting, the picture is much more complex; the facts far from justify the removal of care and support for thousands of #transgender youth and their families, as has happened in #Missouri.

Wish there was a manual on how to deal with this all, because i have literally no idea what I'm doing. Anyone else been through this sort of stuff? #MentalHealth #MedicalCare

A quotation from Rogers, Will:

«««««
All Doctors should make enough out of those who are well able to pay, to be able to do all work for the poor free. That is one thing that a poor person should never be even expected to pay for is medical attention, and not from an organized Charity, but from our best Doctors. But your Doctor bill should be paid like your Inco…

Ok a couple weeks ago I was kinda joking about asking for help paying for my teeth, but I've done the math. I'd need to come up with over $700/month I don't have to get them fixed in August. I'm on disability. The whole house is around the poverty line, and we have kids to consider first. If anyone wants to help even a little, it'd be appreciated. I don't want to lose them, and can't afford implants either.

Don't wanna have to do this but as much as I need the money for other things I'm desperate and really need to get an air purifier. I'm looking at one that is around $100 with tax.

Allergy season this year is brutal and I've spent weeks with prolonged hay fever and it's getting to a point where even being inside isn't giving me respite. I swear that the grass is trying to kill me.

This #NPR piece tells the nightmare story encountered all to frequently when paying for American #Medicalcare. I hadn’t heard of a #creditcard specifically crafted for desperate people lacking insurance coverage or unable to get procedure clearance in an emergency situation. The words cruelty and exploitation jump to mind

So fun fact: my tooth shattered and I can afford to do f all about it. I haven’t been able to reach my smaller goals in a month so I know this is a huge ask at an extremely difficult time financially for everyone. If you are able to donate please click through to my PayPal. If not please just share this I am not in much pain currently but I worry about infection My goal is for option 1: a full dental implant ($4000) #disability #mutualaid #blm #BlackMastodon #medicalcare
