This is about my daughter not us but wanted to share because I think it is quite amazing for her. A little back story our oldest got epsstein barr virus when she was 14, she got real sick and ended up with chronic fatigue to the point where you could barely wake her up, that was 20 years ago and she has improved over that time dramatically but it took a long time which she contemplated suicide a couple times (no she didnt try) but she had no life and her friends disappeared and barely had the energy to eat, I had to bathe her...it was hard!! she also has bad flare ups when she does to much. She has always been great with money as I taught them when they were young so they didnt have to go through what we have. She has paid cash for her car, all her ivf treatments etc...she is a cash person. Anyways she wanted to buy a new phone and it was liek $1200 (she is low on cash due to paying $50k in ivf) so she joined airtasker around 9 months ago, just to earn extra cash to buy one.
She got plenty of work because she is very hands on/perfectionist and a woman so many women would prefer she came to the house than a man they don't know....within 2 weeks she had the money for the phone. But so many of them contacted her for other jobs but didnt want to go through air tasker because of the fees so she started her own little business, she is kep busy and businesses are searching her out as well. Also there is a couple she did work for here that are going to fly her interstate at their expenses and pay her for her work, she will have her own bungalow to stay in for the week, and they will take her whereever she wants to go....because they love the work she did for them here...all this because she wanted a new phone and now she is making decent money, even a lot of guys have her out to do things because they dont know how to fix things....it just goes to show how fast and easily things can change....I am proud of her because she cant do 9-5 job and she can work around her illnesses (also has add adhd and bipolar)...so prud and it goes to show that even if you are disabled you can still make your life great even if it does take awhile to get there...and yes she is still paying cash for everything, and yes she does contribute to the household budget as well.
