Hello, my name is Zara.
My journey with chronic illness began six years ago when I left an abusive relationship and home in a foreign country, before a global pandemic that kept me stranded after my passport, ID and bank cards were stolen.
From being a smart, driven woman with endless love and fight for those in need, suddenly I could no longer turn over in bed without crying tears of pain.
I have discovered that alongside ASD/ADHD, I have fibromyalgia, complex PTSD, scoliosis, and one leg is longer than the other. These are nearly all the result of sustained childhood trauma and abuse.
Since then, I’ve had to humble myself multiple times before the world and beg on the internet for the means to survive. Against the odds, and wishes of the society we live in, people opened their wallets and their hearts to keep me alive and return me to the UK.
Eventully I returned to work, only to face debilitating setbacks time and again. I even tried to make up the money that PIP should have covered by working the most dangerous job a woman can do.
By the grace of God, the kindness of strangers, and my sheer will to live, I now know:
I have dealt with the demons in my memories, and I have found a field to retrain in that will finally grant me a career that is fair to me.
My PIP appeal date has been set. The tribunal will hear my case in just over a month (end of May).
I am seeking to raise money for the cost of representation by PIPPS who have a 97% success rate. Their cost is £2,600.
To give me as much medical evidence as possible, I also want to get a private ADHD assessment and a musculoskeletal assessment. This will cost an additional £900 for both.
Thank you, and may the kindness you’ve shown me be returned tenfold.
