I wanted to bring up something and get your thoughts, because I’m genuinely stuck at a crossroads.
My family and friends have been pushing me hard lately to start my treatment. They say they know I’ll never recover 100%, but even being able to stand up and walk with crutches is far better than lying in bed for months without even seeing the sky or sunlight.
I know my situation better than anyone. In my current position, with my family's financial status and the medical system here in Iran, achieving even that minimal recovery feels almost impossible. I tried starting treatment once or twice in the past, but the crushing costs and endless barriers completely destroyed my morale, so I just gave up.
To give you a clear picture, the medical expenses for my conditions are entirely beyond what I can afford. Maybe in other parts of the world money is the last worry for a patient, but here in Iran, reality is brutal. I have completely lost my mobility, and my condition is classified under the most severe and acute category of rare diseases. We have a state welfare organization meant to support people with disabilities, but the monthly allowance they give me is around $18! $18 a month is a cruel joke that barely covers a few days of basic food.
Physically, both of my knees are completely frozen and locked, my hip is dislocated, and I need double knee and hip replacements. On top of that, due to severe osteoporosis and rheumatoid arthritis, two pins from the platinum plate in my neck have come loose, leaving my neck permanently crooked—requiring another surgery. After all these surgeries, I’d still need 200 to 300 sessions of intense physical therapy. The total cost is astronomical. For someone with zero income, no savings, and a family that simply can't help, does it even make sense to dream about treatment?
A friend of mine lost his temper recently and yelled that I’ve just given up on life and don't even want to try. I honestly don't know... maybe he's right.
Recently, a friend who is active in crypto and runs a channel offered to film a video of me to start a public fundraising campaign on Instagram. But I just couldn't bring myself to accept it. Back when I was healthy, I was active in local literary and artistic circles in our small town, and people know me. I can't bear the thought of a video of me circulating around begging for help. My dignity is all I have left.
When I turned down that offer, my friend suggested Geyser instead. He said I could set up a project there and ask the global Bitcoin community for help, saying it bypasses sanctions, respects privacy, and keeps my dignity intact.
I did some research on Geyser, but as far as I understand, it seems meant for tools, content creation, and value-adding projects. I don't feel it's right for me to upload medical records and ask total strangers for financial support when I haven't created any value for them. My friend insists I'm looking at it wrong and that mutual aid is a big part of the ecosystem.
So I decided to ask you guys directly: Is Geyser actually suitable for a situation like mine and something I can count on, or am I just grasping at straws? I'd really appreciate your honest feedback.
