I am in deep kaka at this point. Desperately need help to get moved in Nov, and I am struggling to manage illness basics, hobbled by covid executive function injury, vision loss due to meds (can't drive). So pitching a different angle:

Anybody within a day's drive of southern Ontario wanna come out for a month? Get me moved and back on the rails.
I have the old apartment to stay in, and will dip into my LOC to pay for lots of hours and any expenses.

I'm in #Guelph

The spoonie assistant I had lined up fell through. So looking again to hire someone with executive function and a driver's license to help me:

• Move - pack, organize and decide set up new place.
• Grocery shop, food prep, life management at home.
• Accompanying on appts so I don't get lost and confused when mentally spent.
• Life admin - filling out forms, phone calls (visual/auditory processing issues)

$20/hr 5-10hr/wk #Guelph
Boosts appreciated.
Need help asap.

This is such a great project by @vlrny.

https://turtlebower.org/about/

Many neurodivergent and disabled people of all ages struggle with housing and as many of us age we are faced with more and more isolation and the possibility of traumatic institutionalization.

Community living has the potential to save lives if done right - if it’s done for and by the people who live in that community and not by ableist people who want to hide away disabled people.

“In its current form, Turtle Bower is a seedling place–an old 3 bedroom farmhouse in a small town just outside of Guelph, Ontario renovated to add a wing with four wheelchair-accessible bedrooms as well as a massive shared kitchen built for co-living.
[…]
Right now we are inhabited by a mix of abled and disabled folks all just trying to get through. We want to be more; we want to be a collaborative co-living household that takes care of all within its borders.”

A vision of community support needs community funding (https://turtlebower.org/donate/)

Sigh...

Bad news: I am in crisis again.

Good news: Who wants a job?

Looking for somebody with executive function and a driver's license with the ability to bring some grounding kindness to a burned out autistic trying to get her blazing dumpster fire back down to a smolder.

Need help with all sorts of adulting, my cog is just fried. Pretty flex just need extra brains and body.
Pay $20/hr 5-10hr/wk.
