Hey everyone, people have been asking what I mean by advocacy assistance well here it is.

Basically many people are either too sick, too busy, or not able to request accommodations, fill out human rights complaints, track down relevant research/info, and I am here to help.

It is not a paid service, I fundraise to keep doing awareness and education, posting on social media, contacting govts and officials, and to make as much noise as I can and from those donations from others, I allot time to help others.

People donate to my efforts so that I can work at breaking the narrative as well as assist people who need it.

Due to Long Covid, Post Covid Conditions, and other illnesses, many people just don't have the energy to complete tasks such as writing emails, finding contacts, filling out complaints, making calls etc... so I am here to help in any way I can.

Many people need help asking for accommodations at appointments, or at work, so I am here to help them craft emails, find information to include in accommodation requests, and basically provide clerical support in any way I can.

Asking for safety related accommodations is just not something that most people are used to doing, and it can cause a great deal of anxiety, so I am here to help.

Sometimes people are just too busy to get these tasks done and once again I am here to help, because if someone is advocating for themselves, ill or not, they are helping the situation and I want to help them as well.

You do not have to have an illness or disability to ask for my help, but I will approach requests with a triage mentality.

So that's the gist of it, I raise money to be a multipurpose tool of awareness and advocacy a with some assistance thrown in. People fund me to help others and generate awareness.

DM me and maybe I can help, if not I’ll try to find you someone who can.

Don’t forget, YerAweSum!

Schools are reopening to sickness. The Covid is mild narrative has spilled over into everything else. Why are we so accepting of diminished quality of life? Why are we so accepting of sickness?

Stop Telling People to Wash Their Hands to Avoid Covid.
Stop it!

Handwashing is a pre-established practice that was around long before Covid, people need to hear the correct messaging.

Wear A Mask

Covid is starting to surge and so is the misinformation/disinformation, so right now is a critical time to break the stigma around Covid and hopefully get some people to see the Covid situation for what it is.

Over the coming weeks, along with contacting education officials, I plan to flood the zone and increase my efforts to hopefully get more people outside of the Covid aware community to connect some dots, and spark some conversation.

Also if you need help with personal advocacy send me a DM, I am here to help, the donations of others, helps me dedicate time to helping those who need it.

Thanks, YerAweSum.

I get these sorts of messages a lot, and I usually just ignore them, but this time I felt angry that this person felt the need to take the time to send me this.

Usually the attacks revolve my fundraising to stay afloat, but lately there’s been an increase in shots like this.

I don’t normally give this kinda thing the light of day, but it’s been one of the hardest years of my life, filled with personal/financial struggle, and “when it rains it pours” has become my own personal catchphrase.

I’m not out here fundraising to get rich or to grift, I’m on the verge of financial ruin, and I can’t find a job because I am vocal about an uncomfortable topic that no one wants a reminder of.

When I started hitting brick walls with employment, I pivoted and said hey, I know, I’ll offer to help people in their own advocacy, and I’ll push to amplify the work and message of others, and I’ll spend time trying to educate governments and agencies, and request change, and do stunts, and songs, and billboards and anything I can to get the word out about Covid.

I still think it is a good idea, and not something I should be attacked for.

I’m not out here screaming about Covid because I want to be, someone else should be pushing the accurate information out to the public and causing noise, I’m doing it because the people who are paid to do it are SILENT! SILENT!

While applying for jobs, and fending off collectors, I’ll spend 10 hours a day sharing a gofundme and get excited for a $10 donation, not just because the money helps my family and I, but because it shows me that someone believes in me, or the message, or both.
I’ll do that because I can’t live with the contradictions and I can’t watch people get sick like this and keep my mouth shut.

There’s other people like me out there swimming against the stream, and I get a lot of courage from them, it’s nice to see others pushing the truth, and not just sending nasty messages because Covid makes them uncomfortable.

If you could only own one vehicle for the rest of your life, wouldn’t you want to avoid accidents?

Covid infections are like car accidents, you might not die but they could still mess up your vehicle. If you couldn’t buy a new vehicle or even get it fixed, wouldn’t you want to avoid accidents?

Back to School Does not have to mean “Back to Sick”. Every year when schools re-open many students and staff get sick with one thing or another, but there are ways to reduce the amount of sickness we are seeing.

I am going to work to share information and strategies with all involved in educating students as well as parents, so that they may reduce the spread of Covid, Flu, Measles etc. as well as clean the air to provide the best learning environments possible.

I will also start posting videos and graphics for aimed at parents and education officials and workers, so that we might break down some of the stigma that are attached to public health mitigations.

I will be fundraising to support my efforts, and hopefully I can raise enough to fund the next few months, any amount is appreciated, and a share goes a long way.

This has been one of the most challenging years of my life, but I feel this is important, and if you do as well, I could use your help.

I started my fund about 2 years ago, have spent money on billboards, had fees taken out, and stretched the rest out over almost 2 years, while providing assistance to others, and making as much noise as I can.

Being “that guy who always talks about Covid” isn’t super appealing to employers, and while I know it is my choice to be vocal, I have to try everything to get by while I help others and raise awareness, until I find full time work from an understanding employer.

If you need help with personal advocacy send me a DM.
If you’d like to help please do so, even a share goes a long way.
Thanks, YerAweSum.

I am sharing this with as many people as I can friends.

I want to continue my work of raising awareness and helping others, and I am also fundraising out of necessity. Hopefully I can raise enough to fund the next few months, any amount is appreciated, and a share goes a long way.

This has been one of the most challenging years of my life, and my inability to stay quiet about these issues has not made it easier, but I feel this is important, and if you do as well, I could use your help.

I started my fund about 2 years ago, have spent money on billboards, had fees taken out, and stretched the rest out over almost 2 years, while providing assistance to others, and making as much noise as I can.

There is a cost for being vocal and I am paying it, being “that guy who always talks about Covid” isn’t super appealing to employers, and while I know it is my choice to be vocal, I have to try everything to get by while I help others, until I find full time work from an understanding employer.

Until then I will strive to be the best Swiss army knife of awareness as I can be and remain on call to help others.
Thank you everyone who has supported me so far, I appreciate your belief in me more than I can express.

If you need help with personal advocacy send me a DM.
If you'd like to help please do so, even a share goes a long way.

Healthcare workers mad that people are trying to bury the past are helping to bury the present and the future by being silent about the current threat of Covid.

If you’re a healthcare worker, who’s mad about people trying to rewrite history why aren’t you wearing a mask and advocating for clean air? Why don’t you want the people you work for to have the most safe healthcare experience possible?

Why are you ignoring all of the research that we have at our disposal that shows that Covid is a wrecking ball?

Why does Covid get a pass? Why are our governments doing nothing to stop it?
