IT’S FUNDRAISER TIME ♥♥♥
We all know and love @interstellaireylo, a belovedly strange Reylo institution. Stella/Coup/Stelloup uses a manual wheelchair due to injuries sustained in the line of duty as a paramedic (a.k.a. getting hit by some asshole playing with his phone while driving a truck), but it’s very, very difficult for her to use it due to upper body strength issues related to her spinal injury and the fact that her manual chair has seen better days. This has limited her mobility and made life much harder for her.
She’s attempting to purchase a power wheelchair, but these are expensive, and, well, Stelloup is a public school teacher in America. She also was hesitant about hosting a fundraiser because 1) she feels bad having to ask for help and 2) she doesn’t think anyone will donate.
I know how many followers she has, and if all of them gave just $1, we could hit our goal. I’ve created this fundraiser with her blessing, and I’m an IRL friend who can vouch for her and her disability. I’m more than happy to answer any questions you might have, and an itemized breakdown of the cost of the chair is available at the fundraiser link. Every single penny will go towards the purchase and shipping of the power chair.
In addition, I will personally write a fic of at least 1,000 words OR a fic review of at least 500 words for anyone who donates and would like one!
Stelloup has given us a lot of laughs, entertainment, and camaraderie in her time in the fandom; let’s help her increase her mobility. Every little bit helps! If you can’t donate, please consider signal boosting. Thank you all you very much for your help! ♥♥♥
I’m being hit hard with medical expenses of my own, so I can relate.
