JesdJessI need to raise money to help me continue living an independent, fulfilled life.

I get no support from the government, I have no family locally and my friends have their own problems without worrying about me. I've applied for disability allowance but I'm not 'disabled enough' for them to help - even though I'll probably have fibromyalgia for the rest of my life! I have also recently been diagnosed with osteoarthritis which I'm seeing a rheumatologist and physiotherapist for but the fibromyalgia makes that so difficult.

I rarely ask for anything from anybody and this has been a very difficult decision to make, to open this page but I now realise I need some kind of help. I'm not sure what else I can do asides from ask.

Thank you for reading,

Katherine.
