It really is. I can barely walk, the longest distance I can do is less than 100 meters at this point, because my legs are weak, and the muscles are rigid, and there is some severe tremor going on which makes it even more difficult to walk.

Sadly this is coupled with incontinence (mainly urinary), so before I go out (every 3 months to the doctor), I have to make sure I do not drink, or if I do drink, I need to account for that when I go outside, but as a precaution I wear those diapers, not sure how they are called, those undies that are diapers, essentially. I wet my bed many times at night.

I have severe anxiety and depression which I have had long before the lesions, but given my circumstances and the damage, it is now worse.

I wish I had more financial help. There is a friend who helps me as much as he can, but other than that, I got no one. The Government gives me almost nothing per month. According to their calculations, somehow a person is supposed to get by by 900 HUF (~2.6 USD) per day.


If you set up a GoFundMe or something I'll send some

I'd probably suggest you post about your experience with this in a way to relates to your experience as a dev since it seems you write about technical stuff?

I'm thinking about that blind guy recently talking about Linux accessibility making blindness a lot more relatable to people on sites like HN, who also are more likely to have disposable income to donate

I honestly do not know what to do about my financial issues. I do not think raising GoFundMe would go anywere, even though all it really takes is finding 100 people who would not mind donating 10 USD. 1000 USD would be a lot to me. I do not know how to make it viral. I do not want to appeal to people's emotions but it seems like I would have to do that. I want to keep my anonimity too, but that makes it even less likely for people to donate, so I really have no idea what I should do.
