i'm gradually bleeding out what i have left from the car accident gofundme and my tax return, and that's a thousand dollar bill that.
it's july. i got hit in february. the claim was approved in april. there is no reason this should be taking this long.
i wanted to have money left over to try and get one of my projects cashflow positive (one i'm writing a thread to talk about) but i'm being held hostage
update i got angry enough to get on the phone and apparently it's a system deadlock
since its out of network, it got applied to my deductible and no coverage was amended, so no amendment statement was given to the ambulence billing company
so they didn't know to pull it out of "awaiting an update from your insurance" because there was no update
i'm on my second phone call, the insurance agent has me on hold while she talks to the ambulance billing department
so basically i was deadlocked beyond my knowledge for two months, and that's two months i could've not been bleeding money i wanted to spend on getting my website (more info once the big post is finished) updated to be better and capable of placing ads
now i just wait on a paypal transfer.
the fun part is i've hemorrhaged so much money trying to keep mooself afloat that all thats left in my bank account is the 1000 dollars from the tax return at this point, not counting what i have sequestered in paypal from mutual aid
i love how i got strung up so much by insurance billing that i nearly wasn't able to pay this bill
its so dumb im glad this is how this works
january: credit card fraud where someone got into my paypal and bank account
february: hit by a fucking car
everything between now and then: recovery and billing hell
june: family visit nightmares of dysphoria and frustration
and the whole year banging my head against the wall trying to get SOMEONE to actually hire me, as much as i can bear
i've got SNAP for the next couple months, i might chase down that and SSI IF MY FUCKING FAMILY WOULD FAX OVER ALL THE PAPERWORK MY MOM SAVED WRT MY DIAGNOSIS ALREADY
I don't know how i'm gonna get on permanent SNAP and medicaid without it, i'm fucking undocumented and it's not by my choice. All the documentation for my disability exists! my mom religiously kept and filed it all! thhey have it at their house!
if all else fails, i have confirmation that the insurance just added it straight to my deductible, so i owe the full 935.24, so as soon as I have my bank account where it needs to be, I will be able to pay it over the phone if the web portal doesnt update
i hadn't been getting bills since i fixed the account in april, so if i understand the agent right, i'm about to get a huge fucking bill in a few weeks for all the power i've used since then
i don't know how the 200 dollar deposit factors into that
i am about to be in really dire straits where i entirely run out of money
and its not even my fault at this point, its all these fucking useless systems that don't work
and nobody returning a single one of my damn calls or applications, not even the fucking grocery store
also the credit card debt is getting way up there, i don't know where my credit limit is but god i've gotta be close.
oh i've got a thousand left, that's about 1/3 of the limit, that's not. too bad.
if you have anything to spare right now i don't want to ask for donations or direct aid
i want you to go look on my webbed sight and find spaceships or boats or birds or planes photos you like and pick up prints of em.
I set the prices on a sorta diminishing scale where the more the base cost of the item, the less markup i put on it so like, if you wanted to maximise how much went to me vs how much went to the fulfillment services I would go for small paper prints like 5x7s
i might try and find it in me to do some editing but after all these phone calls today i just want to sleep until this time tomorrow and i feel like death
