I am obscene to you, but to myself I simply am🌈

My mother is 77 years old, she struggles with things "normal" for her age... high blood pressure, cholesterol, trigliceridi, anxiety, sleeping issues, hernia on her back, skin allergies and continuos eye problems. I have a bunch of chronic shit/pain... from dermatitis to a bad knee and foot to depression, and need vitamins supplements. If you follow me you know this. That being said, between both of us we take more than 10 different medications a day.

In 2024 my mother made her first surgery (cataracts) in both eyes, then in 2025 her second laser procedure in both eyes. She currently cannot see with clarity, even wearing glasses.

Our benefits + whatever I make doing odd jobs for relatives makes us around $700, where $300 alone goes to rent, and we can't pay everything with only $400.

We live in Brasil, my currency is BRL (every USD means 5 BRL, every € means 6 BRL). I pay taxes over every donation (for currency conversion).

It has come to my attention that people sometimes have bad things to say about this, of people struggling and seeking help, as if people who "e-beg" do it for fun, or as if it doesn't cause us anxiety when we know something important to us depends on the kindness of someone that might not come. Yes, I have seen some posts directed at me even though they were "venting" posts. Your lack of sympathy/empathy or whatever else is your problem and says more about you than about me.
