you and i were brilliant

Hello, lovelies!

I’m here briefly - for a greedy cause. As some of you know, I was accepted into a London University for Film and Theatre; I’ve worked most of my life towards being able to go to the college of my dreams, but my family has faced many tragedies and, while I was trying to focus on other things, lost most of my college funding.

That said, I’m reaching out to every branch of friends and family. The donation page has my personal statement on it, listing most of my achievements and examples of devotion. 

I do not - absolutely do not - expect any of you to donate. I have been tried for money most of my life, and completely understand. 

I’m leaving this here in case anyone wishes to give, that is all! I won’t judge, I won’t antagonise, and I won’t get antsy if my goal isn’t reached. Thank you all for being so wonderful, all of you mean everything to me. Really; your constant support has gotten me through these past few months, which have been extremely trying on my mental health and stability. Coming home to your kind comments has saved me and my hopes.

Here is the link !! Do not be afraid to drop by with questions, here or @bumbleholmes, my personal blog.

Look at the cure rates compared to mortality rates in universal health care countries and compare them to ours, then talk shit.

But then I got sicker.  And it turned out I had cancer.

Burkitt’s lymphoma, stage 4a. It had spread into my brain and spinal column. 90% cure rate, but I needed nine months of chemo - and not the outpatient chemo, nope, talking multiple week stays per round of the magrath protocol.  Drugs were about 10k an IV bag.  I was unemployed.  And there were complications.

Thankfully I live in a country with universal healthcare.   And it didn’t cost me a goddamn cent to save my life.  I’m now officially past the five year mark to move me from “remission” to “Cured”.

I’ve lived in a universal healthcare country my entire life. And I’ve seen the US system in action.  Your system is fucked. Straight up fucked. You’ve got fucking Dickensian shit going on there, people dying on streets from preventable causes or ending up broke for breaking a hip.   Your health insurance companies have you by the balls and people like you are begging them to squeeze harder.  What the actual fuck is wrong with you?
