Have a thread that directs you to my self-published fiction. I'll add to the thread as I publish more.
If you read, please review!
I also have four short non-fiction ebooks about ADHD.

The only request I received this week was for help with a light bill. A native family from Edmonton is almost getting cut off and they needed it by yesterday. I didn’t get the message till this morning. They’re only short $120. Please help. PayPal/etransfer [email protected]
Please help Anna by purchasing items off her wishlist or by donating $50 (this can be made up of smaller donations of $10,15,$20..whatever you can afford). Thanks so much. 💜
Alberta’s cruel AISH to ADAP shift is being run by foreign corporations (Australia’s AKG & UK’s Serco).
Vulnerable Albertans face forced work rules, humiliating re-assessments, and a $200/mo benefit cut. Public money is paying global firms to police disability.

Prime day is nearly over and I updated my wishlist a little in hopes of receiving some assistance. Coffee, paper products always run out. I'm also in need of vitamins, nasal and eye drops, personal care items and food.
Disability doesn't provide enough support.
Thanks a lot❤
@felisroboticus I turned 38 during my pregnancy, and R is almost certainly ADHD, but given that *I have ADHD* and Husband is *not* NT, the genetics were pretty clearly leaning that way anyhow. If I could have had more kids, I would have been in my 40’s.
@felisroboticus My husband’s brother had a daughter when their dad’s girlfriend got pregnant, so their younger brother is younger than his niece. (My husband’s youngest two siblings are both around 20 years younger than he is.)
I have cut down on my medical appts to every 3 mths as the cost of transportation is prohibitive when trying to survive on disability supports. My docs are a 5 hr trip each way. My next appts are set for the 2nd and I need to raise at least 160 to cover the cost.
Today, in the Anglican Cycle of Prayer, we pray for Igreja Anglicana de Moçambique e Angola and the Primate, the Most Revd Vicente Msosa, Bishop of Zambézia Missionary Diocese.
Let us pray for:
🙏 Growth and development as a new province – that the Church may be strengthened in its structures, leadership and shared vision as it continues to grow in Mozambique and Angola.
🙏 Discipleship and church planting – for clergy and lay leaders, especially in missionary dioceses such as Zambézia, that communities may be equipped for evangelism, pastoral care and mission.
🙏 Relief and resilience after storms and disasters – for communities affected by cyclones, flooding and tropical storms, and for church ministries providing food, healthcare and support for school expenses.
🙏 Leadership development and sustainability – giving thanks for partnerships supporting the province’s development, including work to build local skills, strengthen administration and resource ministry.
Amen
People with disabilities in Canada are twice as likely to live in poverty. Their financial survival has become a political "ping pong ball". The federal Canada Disability Benefit (CDB) was intended to end systemic destitution, but the program only provides roughly $200 per month.
As a PWD I am so tired of others saying they speak on my behalf!
It should be made mandatory that any disability organization, committee, group, or parliamentary body be made up of at least 50 percent members who are currently living on provincial disability assistance.
Firsthand current lived experience and firsthand voices from those who will speak honestly and unfiltered to the abusive and restrictive nature of disability supports in this country.
Fab's Goal has stalled and he is still needing assistance with $230 and has just over a week please help small donations add up and this goal gets completed.
10 people $24
20 people$12
Or 1 generous person $230
Thank you in advance for any Support and Kindness towards Fab.
I wish that even half the people zealously arguing for the use of MAiD for people with disabilities & chronic illnesses would advocate for such people to be provided with adequate, accessible income, housing, support services, palliative care & relief from suffering. Zealously.
I just published Chapter Two of my serialized story on Substack. Please read and share with anyone you think might like this sweet story about a young girl growing up in 1980's rural Saskatchewan.

It’s not just a budget shortfall; it is an agonizing daily choice. Do I buy the fresh groceries my body needs, or do I save enough to pay the hydro bill so my medical equipment stays on? The system expects disabled people to survive on 40% less than the actual cost of living.
