i need some encouragement re: wheelchair use.

OR, maybe they are reading your history with the express purpose of preventing you from scamming more people. This is not the first time you have "crowdfunded a wheelchair," and it almost certainly won't be the last. I guess you need multiple wheelchairs?

Please, mods, and anyone else reading this thread, be advised: This user is a scam artist. Do NOT GIVE THEM MONEY if they PM you asking for a hand out. They have already been banned from /r/assistance. You can Google their other now since deleted account, "isthatacatt." Read the user's posting history. See how they claim to be a victim of every protected class out there...They say they've been raped, abused by family, sexually harassed by coworkers and bosses, fat-shamed on the bus, they swear they have MS but the neurologist won't give them the diagnosis because the neuro hates fat people, they've been denied medical care for being poor, have been homeless, have been hit by a car, plagued by mysterious rashes and bladder problems, randomly falls over, self diagnosed as autistic, has spinal stenosis, gets random staph and MRSA infections all the time, discriminated against for being gay (though they are only gay in certain subs, just like they are only a wheelchair user in certain subs), was bullied by Paypal because Paypal froze crowdfunded funds for suspicious activity...And this is by no means a complete list of victimhood gleaned from posting history!

Now what is more likely...That one single person has been bullied, beaten, and abused by every person they've EVER interacted with, and also, they have dozens of "self diagnosed" illnesses... Or maybe this person is making up sad stories to defraud strangers on the internet?

By the way, I have "spinal stenosis." I also have degenerative disc disease. All stenosis is is the narrowing of a canal a nerve passes through. This causes pressure on the nerve and therefore pain. It doesn't make you randomly fall over. People have varying degrees of stenosis, and it's usually quite minor.

Also, I live in Florida, and have navigated the medical system in Florida for my numerous spinal surgeries. They do NOT deny you care for being poor, if you need emergency care. You just go into debt and pay it off later. I only make 9 dollars an hour and have required multiple spinal surgeries, yet I still find a way to work full time and don't mislead people on the internet to give me hand outs I don't actually need. Your behavior is an INSULT to people who are actually disabled, and you should be ashamed of yourself.

Go ahead, tell us all about how bullied you are. I know what you are.
