My campaign site, thecreativecrip.com (and my nom de plume) was borne of the frustration in trying to become self-employed having become disabled and exhausted my redundancy savings. The of aim this project has always been to chronicle my thoughts and experiences as an entrepreneur trying to successfully grow a business despite the limitations of physical, mental and invisible disabilities. I don’t want to carry on living my life as it is now – becoming disabled and needing benefits is not a lifestyle choice, especially given the not insignificant skills and experience I’ve gained from nearly 25 years working on Wall Street and in The City of London. The reality is proving to be quite different to the idea. I have spent the better part of two years floundering, barely keeping my head above water as I begged for help and fought to not be forced into the usual dead-end workfare schemes. I have received very little in the way of factual, practical help.
