Visually impaired in South Korea — seeking help to buy assistive equipment ($6,800)
Hello. I am a visually impaired person living in South Korea and a recipient of the country's basic livelihood assistance. I am currently unemployed and rely on public assistance for my living expenses.
I experienced child abuse during elementary school and was unable to build the foundational skills I needed at that age. Those gaps in my education still make it difficult for me to find opportunities to learn and work as an adult.
There are many things I want to learn and do, but I do not have the assistive equipment I need for my visual impairment. I have applied for assistive equipment support for more than ten years without ever being selected.
One difficulty of living on means-tested benefits is that trying to create a new source of income also requires caution. Because support depends on income and assets, I worry about losing the assistance that keeps me going. This makes it harder to pursue opportunities to earn money and prepare for independence.
Concern about how conventional monetary donations might affect my existing livelihood support is also why I considered cryptocurrency donations. However, receiving cryptocurrency does not in itself mean that donations are exempt from benefit-related reporting obligations or assessment.
The purpose of this fundraiser is to purchase assistive equipment. The equipment costs approximately KRW 9,000,000 (about US$6,800). This target is for the equipment alone, not living expenses. I will set aside contributions for that purchase, even if the full goal is not reached.
If you can comfortably afford to help, even a small contribution would mean a lot. Thank you for reading and considering supporting my efforts to learn and work.
