A woman living with Multiple Sclerosis says she is merely surviving, instead of living, with the cost-of-living crisis hitting her and others with disabilities hard
.
"So that's six items that I have to have in my house, that have to be powered, some of them need power constantly."Some of them, I've been either getting my parents or carers to turn off, as I can't access all of the switches.""We already think about when to use heat and I’ve bought little ethanol heaters to take the edge off the cold without using the heating. But I can’t move around so I do tend to be colder and cold makes my symptoms much worse," she said.
"I would feel like a personal failure if that hadn't happened and if it hadn't happened because of me. She added that the cost-of-living crisis was a conduit for those without disabilities to see the daily struggles those living with disabilities faced. Rachel went on to say that she was so grateful to be living in Northern Ireland and said that her experience of Belfast had been a largely positive one, as she approaches 20 years of living here.
