I am raising money for myself, so I am more able to participate and afford my creative work. I mainly work with textiles and this creative work is my main, if not my whole, source of pride and comfort while living with mental illnesses and Asperger's and Dyslexia. Unfortunately I cannot work, or at least have a 'standard' job, due to my problems that arise when having these conditions.

Now with such uncertainty with funding and benefits constantly under threat, I am sadly severely underfunded, despite living with my parents who help where they can. I am not asking for sympathy, thats the last thing I want, I just kindly ask for a little help so I can achieve one of my main two goals in life - to have my own small business in textiles.
