Help a multiply disabled brown bisexual Latina get out of debt, pay for surgery, get out of an abusive situation, and be able to work independently.
My sister is an autistic and multiply chronically ill brown bisexual woman from Chile. She works doing nails and is excellent at it, however she's been having serious health problems for the last couple of years and they're starting to impede her ability to work.
One of those problems is that one of her eyes has gone cross-eyed and since she works with something as small as nails are, this absolutely impairs her eyesight tremendously, she's been making mistakes and getting complaints. In the picture above she's trying her hardest to have both eyes stare at the camera. Needless to say this has also impacted her self-esteem severely.
She's going to need surgery to get her eye fixed. One of the chronic illnesses she has is hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome and her shoulder recently got dislocated as well, so she's missing hours at work now too.
She's indebted from trying to help my also struggling parents on top of not earning much while working for nail salons and more so with now missing 10 days of work as per doctor's order due to the shoulder dislocation.
I'm not lying when I say her work is incredible especially since she's 98% self-taught.
She wants to stop working for nail salons that pay her dust and treat her like garbage. Problem is she doesn't have the funds currently to buy all the materials she needs to work independently.
You guys have helped me so many times and I'd appreciate it so much if you could help my sister. She's such a hardworking person but she keeps getting shit luck after shit luck non-stop and is at this point suicidal because no matter how hard she tries to claw her way out of hell she keeps sliding right back down to it. I'm economically okay but nowhere near enough to help her like that. Helping her get donations is all I can do for her right now.
Part of the reason she wants to work independently is so she can earn more decently so she can move out of my parents'. The situation with my disaster of a brother has gone pretty much abusive against everyone else in the household and it's taking a huge toll on my sister's mental well-being, especially because my mom keeps making excuses for him.
This is her Paypal and this is her Ko-fi. Anything helps.

Hi, I'm the one who you are helping with these donations and let me tell you a little bit, I do acrylics, polygel, soft gel/gel x, etc. and the salon I'm currently working at doesn't let me do ANYTHING but gel/traditional manicures because 'I take too long' on the services instead of the 30 minutes they want me to take, but turns out I'm autistic and have bad coordination with my hands especially when being hurried (like they usually do). It's making me wanna quit overall something I'm really passionate about, which is like severing a part of my heart.
I've been literally making 200 USD/month for like two years, I've been applying to multiple jobs with no luck whatsoever, and I'm indebted, which makes the little to no money I make last NOTHING and aside from the supplies I need, I actually desperately need the surgery, because in that picture my eye situation, which actually affects a lot of my job, is getting far worse where I can barely control it anymore.
People at work tell me I'm talented but that's that. They don't consider helping me out in any other way, because to them it matters much more the amount of services rather than anything.
There were days I had no services at all, but my coworkers had 3-4, and now I'm on sick leave and as soon as I informed them my coworkers were plagued with services. This is not only affecting my wallet as it is affecting my worth as a professional and mental health to the point where I considered taking my own life.
If you have anything to help me with, I could really appreciate it, as I need to get out of that environment as soon as possible, but also get my surgery done to do quality services as I used to.
I was not born with this eye thing, I've been dealing with it for around 7-8 months, after a thyroid crisis I had back when the pandemic began that landed me on the ER, I have Hashimoto's disease and had a few strabismus ophtalmologysts and my endocrynologist (who also treated me after the thyroid crisis) check me on this and the final veredict was on a surgery.
I was able to pay off last weekend the smaller debt I had thanks to many of you 🙏🏾 I'm so thankful I can't really express it with words. The amount of stress that has been lifted off my shoulders is so huge that it actually took me a while to process my feelings. I can't believe the amount of kindness all of you have in your hearts. So, I hope you can keep it going for me for now.
I'm changing salons and they seemed much more reassuring and chill about everything I have going on eyewise. The recruiter actually recommended me to one of their more succesful locations, so I'm really hopeful about it.
Pray for me y'all, I'm starting on saturday.
Also, for the people that donates I was thinking on giving them custom press on sets or something? As a thank you for their kindness, I have some full tips laying around that can be put to good use, though shipping from my country overseas is kinda expensive so, I need to do some research on that.
