plz Situation terrible. 😔

and suffering . Food withheld, basic needs ignored.

If you can offer a room &/or be a please help. Ask everyone you know. Boost until someone sees.

Times are tough and we can help each other get through them.

Can pay carer allowance (not means tested, about 75$ week) carer allowance (up to about $500 a week.). Can go halves in rent too, depending on your needs. If you have your own place - even better. Make some extra money from that spare room by helping someone who can really use it.

I have some savings so can begin paying rent/ board right away.

Don’t give up on me I can’t survive here. If you need info or have any questions just ask.

If you are able and would like help me escape abuse and pay for all the necessary services, I have a crowdfund at: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/ halcionandon

People with Australian bank accounts can use https://www.beem.com.au and pay to @halcionandon. It is fee free and anonymous both ends (so Visa, Mastercard and the platform charge no fees for me unlike Buy Me a Coffee)

I’m also registered at https://www.Prezzee.com.au for e-gift cards which help keep govt out of my finances. Any digital gift card for use in Australia is very appreciated. There’s plenty out there if Prezzee is not your thing. Universal or Amazon cards are best.

People help is also more than welcome - I need a place to stay, an advocate, social worker etc too. There are barely any resources allocated to my catchment area so I’m pretty much on my own. Have been trying almost 2 years to get an advocate!

Albanese’s Escaping Violence package shows no signs of including the and people with so we’re still on our own. Yes the government forgot to ‘forgot’ to include us. Current DV and family violence services won’t help us. I’ve tried them all.

Ask questions if you’re interested or need clarification. I’ve posted a lot too.

Help not expected but highly appreciated. 💜

Got my postal vote for upcoming referendums in Ireland, so I thought I would remind people of this option for future votes (it's too late for the referendums).

More Irish info here:

Dear marketers seeking LinkedIn connections...

And I don't mean the usual "I can get you 3000 followers over nite" suspects...

I mean the "sincere" ones...

I may not be your best prospect.

I have a personal thing about...

  1. New connections whose first DM asks for a favor, donation, participation in research, editing or writing help, promoting your pet project...

Or the earnest developer who requests that I test drive a product you're SURE will help disabled folks. For money.

Most especially, folks targeting , and other 's.

  1. I don't like folks making money off my autism. And I don't enjoy transactional social relationships... especially those masquerading as some noble purpose.

I usually just block. But I'm getting sick of it.

This morning's DM finally brought this response from me.

"Honestly I don't try freemium apps that don't outline features for trial, paid, and free versions.

"I understand the value to you of any user's trial... marketing, user data, beta testing.

"I need to understand the value to me.

"That said, it sounds like a valuable app. Wish you luck."

And removed our connection.

Have some sensitivity when marketing to disabled folks, shall we?

Btw, no answer from neurodiverse huckster. Probably busy posting hundreds of DMs to y'all.

.

Dude went totally narcissistic on me. I'm rude & dismissive. Like I owe him trying his product...?⁉️

No clue how to market to folks.
