About the event
DRAG AID 6! This time we're raising money for Penny (AKA Viktoria Secretions), a member of the DRAG AID family who needs help with her medical bills
Penny is a multidisciplinary artist who has gone through many transitions & abilities. She has a long history of taking part in (redacted) to varying degrees. Over the last few months she has developed worsening pain, GI, and neurological symptoms that are now requiring ongoing specialists, allied health, & testing in order to gain diagnosis, management, & hopefully access the NDIS. Some of these appointments are not covered by Medicare, while the cost & number of appointments are still financially inaccessible - even after reaching the Medicare safety net.
Penny's condition has deteriorated to the point where she struggles with basic self care, & the appearances of her stage persona Viktoria Secretions have sadly become a rarity. She has also refunded several of her leatherwork commissions, & is unable to attend markets to sell her leather goods. She no longer qualifies for a medical loan, having already done so for previous medical care. Funds raised will go towards ongoing medical costs & wheelchair repair, with the end goal of getting Penny well enough to attend events, work on & sell her craft, be somewhat independent in her care, as well as participate in (redacted).We have another HUGE line-up for you, including:
