Help a Disabled Trans Man Repair His House

Back in 2020, my sister and I bought a cheap house through a first-time homebuyers grant in Pontiac, MI. I’m so glad we got to do this because our previous living situation was untenable and difficult due to my physical disabilities. Ever since moving in, we’ve been slowly working to improve the house, because the previous owner took a lot of shortcuts that we’ve had to spend time and money on fixing.

Some of these have included:

• Replacing a broken bathroom window, which used to let in freezing air in the winter and had clear instead of frosted glass.
• Replacing all the external doors, which were falling apart and very drafty.
• Replacing the roof, which previously leaked and was structurally unsound.

Unfortunately, there is still loads that needs to be done just to make it livable, and while my sister works fulltime, I am visually impaired, physically disabled, and unable to work, so our income is very limited.

Some of the work that still needs doing includes:

• Renovating the entire bathroom to make it accessible, to reduce the risk of falls and make it so I can use a shower seat.
• Replacing the floors because the loose boards are a constant trip hazard.
• Blowing insulation into the loft, so the house is better at retaining heat during the winter and we can reduce our energy bills.

Any money you can donate will seriously improve our living conditions and help ensure a safer, healthier future for the both of us

eventually you realize you don’t want to die. you just don’t want to live the life you’re living. and slowly you try to create a life you want to live. just gotta start there.

from what I’ve seen, there are exactly Three Jobs hiring at any given time. they are:

• senior logistics strategist at Hewlett Packard. $140,000 / year. requirements: three separate MBAs, fifteen years of business experience, no “ethnic” grandparents, unearned sense of confidence
• “customer success ambassador” at Glurp. $70,000 / year, give or take, since 90% of your pay is based on commission. requirements: associate’s degree, no experience, has never heard the phrase “pyramid scheme,” no sense of shame
• part-time server at Le Bon Mot. $15-$16/hr depending on level of experience. must work weekends, overnight shifts, holidays, while asleep. requirements: you will let customers spit on you.

I feel like I make some variant on this post once every two weeks, which should tell you how well the job hunt’s going.
