Betty Genovese hasn't added a story.
Hello! We are Betty (she/her) and Luke (they/them), and our cats are Max (~5 y/o fluffy boy) and Lenny (~9 y/o tuxedo boy).
We have both been through a rollercoaster of trauma and finally secured housing in October.
Unfortunately the past few months have not been much easier. We were lucky to receive help with rent in January, but with the way things have been, it's unlikely we'll be able to earn what we need for May's rent. We always have been disabled, and always will be. The van has been retired (see moped fundrazr for more context), so we have been struggling even more with pain and mental health. Betty has to walk to get groceries almost every day, which takes a toll on her chronic pain, and it's been hard to afford food (not to mention, we never received clarification that our food stamps would reload in April). We've also been unable to see any sort of doctor over that last couple years, which has taken a major toll. Every bit means a lot more than you may think.
Everything from this fundrazr goes towards keeping us sheltered and warm.
We are going through autistic burnout and struggling a lot with our mental health along with our chronic pain and physical health. This, as well as lacking consistent transportation, leads to us being unable to work a standard job. We both make music, though, and Luke tries to offer multiple types of content that you can support with. Please help us spread this around if anything. Thank you!
PS; our music, wishlists, updates, and even behind-the-scenes music creation content can be found at Luke's new Patreon: http://Patreon.com/LukeOrion
