Please help me go into remission from Type II diabetes

Hello everyone, I am so sorry to remake this post, but I am very scared. I am experiencing embarassing and vulnerable symptoms- my type II diabetes is becoming progressive, and I am desperate to go into remission. It has affected my liver and my heart, and neuropathy has made me partially incontinent. On April I was hospitalized twice. I have no thyroid, and without medication, it will put me into a myxedema coma and will kill me within days. Hypothyroidism and type II diabetes is making it very difficult for me to find work, as I am from the global south (the Philippines), with government aid only covering 20,000 pesos (around 326 usd) a year. I am the only person in my family who can work; my mother is paralyzed from a brain injury, and my sister is autistic with a very low frustration threshold. I need help covering for my new medication, as I now take metformin twice a day, and phosphates to help with my liver and kidneys, and b complex to help bolster my immune system. Im sorry I keep remaking this post, I am alone and desperate. Community is all I have. Thank you so much for your endless grace and compassion.

Happy Indigenous Peoples Resistance day, I am indigenous Isneg/Apayao through my mother, who is in need of help. please help me take care of my mama at trying to manage a progressive disease and helping extend her life through mutual aid and the miracle of modern medicine, please 🙇‍♂️

My post from earlier today, rebloggable now:

Heard back from the drs and got the lab test interpretations. Its like a. "Not the worst news in the world , but the prognosis rn is not good either" situation. Mom's liver could go into cirrhosis because of three factors. That she has gallstones, insulin resistance from diabetes and non alcoholic steatotic liver disease. They also can not do surgery on her to remove the gallstones because my mom's diabetes is severe and has had some several, irreversible effects on her body. Very sorry. If you guys could please pray for me and my family's safety I would appreciate it so much. If you guys could please share my donation tip jar and prints store it would also be very helpful. Mom's endocrinologist is hopeful we can find alternative treatments through the help of modern medicine. Rn mom has walking pneumonia and is on antibiotics. Please, anything helps. Thank you so much.

My tipping jars:

Hi everyone, I am a trans man from the global south, humbly seeking mutual aid to help with an insurmountable cost to cover a thyroidectomy. If you are with any disposable income, even a dollar can go a very long way. Thank you so much.

I have more info on the fundrazr itself, but gofundme does not work with Philippine banks.

I have three jobs, but all three are very unstable. My work at publishing only pays once and under a clause where I will not make a single cent if I get let go.

My mother is unable to move independently due to nerve and brain injury from sepsis. My father has chronic heart condition and kidney failure, and my sister is autistic with a very low frustration threshold. Am the only one who works. I am not able to get the help I need without this community.

If you have the means, anything to spare, any kind prayer, any mutual aid, or any reassurance that it will be ok, I will remember it and be grateful for the rest of my life. Thank you so much to my beautiful best friend Yasemin for helping me create and compute my needs, and everyone else, Thank you so much.

This is my uncle, he has been homeless and struggling nearly all his life, and he has been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. The gofundme is organized by my aunt, and I have so many followers on tumblr that helped me fund my mom's surgery and my close friend Allanah's own cancer treatment, I figured I could share this here bc of my large following. I've sold my own bike to help just with some of his medication, but rn am currently struggling as I am the sole caretaker of my own disabled mother, father and younger sister. Its breaking my heart to see someone struggle like this, and I would like my uncle to have a sliver of hope. Please consider sharing, I'm begging. There's only one donation so far, and it's only 5 euro.

He has an upcoming CT scan, which in the philippines would cost around 200 usd. I know this is a very sad and scary post, but you will be helping someone in the global south improve their quality of life. Thank you so so much for reading, and please have a good day. Thank you.

Saving my mom's eyesight.

Hi guys- so. Gofundme doesn't work in the Philippines, so I had to arrange this on fundrazr, where PayPal works! No account needed- it's where I also fundraised surgery for my dad.

It would mean everything if you guys could please, please, once more spare me a reblog.. would much appreciate it.

I had some funds saved via commissions back in March, but they have been depleted because I did not account for her care after surgery- and because it kept getting delayed because they kept needing additional lab tests from her. Mom has preexisting conditions, like her kidneys are very weak, she is prone to seizures due to a brain injury from a sudden sepsis attack a few years ago, and she has diabetes.

Im sincerely n humbly asking for mutual aid.

I'm a disabled trans guy from the global south. Don't have a car, and I have been taking care of my family ever since I was a teenager all by myself- I have three jobs at the moment, but none of them are stable incomes, and because out of all four of us, I am the only one who works, I've been living paycheck to paycheck due to both my parents medical and day to day needs. I've put all the info I have on the fundrazr post.. and for additional info.. this is the most recent prescription/ note from the doctor.

I guess this is all. I'm so very sorry for having to write another one of these posts, but have been having an extremely difficult time, and prayers, donations, shares and even just a kind word would mean the whole world to me. Thank you so so much.

I do commissions, but because two of my devices broke this month, I've accumulated a work debt and had to raise my prices. I've no wiggle room at all, and both imprnt and patreon has been bugging out. Having so much trouble earning a living.

Would absolutely feel so so grateful if you guys who like my art and have anything to spare can be a patron, I post several exclusive drawings every month- or you pick up a drawing on my inprnt, or directly send me a tip. It sincerely helps truckloads. Thank you so much. If you see this, it would mean everything if you could spare me a retweet.. please and thank you.

thank you so much if you read all this way. Please please help me by reblogging this if you can. Thank you so much.

I am in desperate need of help.

On March 17, My sister was sick for two weeks due to acute Laryngitis. On March 19, my mom lost all vision on one of her eyes, and we had to go to several drs until one took her pain seriously and finally diagnosed her with Glaucoma. 4 days ago, mom was taken in for emergency surgery, but ultimately she was sent home bc the pressure on her eyes were so high that they could not operate on her;  So she was sent back home to make herself stable and prepare for operation; Her one eye is constantly swollen and very red, And she is in so much pain she cannot eat bc of her nausea; On March 29, I had to go to the dentist because I had a cavity that cracked my teeth in half and the pain on it was unbearable; And finally, yesterday, I had to take my dog to the vet because he was looking under the weather ):.. Needless to say.. March has been extremely hard on me, and tomorrow, we will go back to the  doctor to see if my mom can be operated on. I only have 400 usd saved / to spare, and the estimated cost of her surgery is 1,000 usd (please keep in mind we are not from the US), and I am still unsure if she will be confined after her surgery. I am opening my portrait commissions, each portrait would be 65 usd-

I specialize in drawing fantasy ocs, though I am just about willing to draw anything as long as it’s legal atp. My samples are above, and the portrait will include the background, you can request any ornamentation you’d like, props and stuff! I’m also happy to provide wips and send updates whenever.. Just. Need help and regain my footing and stability :’) I know this is very long, but I am dumbfounded over how hard this month has been.

I went to a different Dr on the day I posted this and this time we have found someone who was more sympathetic to our situation. They diagnosed my mom with Glaucoma and provided her with medicine for the meantime.

She's due to return on the first of April, which is my birth month 🥹

I've had a couple of folks asking if I could open my tipping jar here, and any sort of help is a relief. I Spent around 100 usd in total getting my mom back and forth the hospital and her initial new diagnoses, and for the meds.. My sister is recovering from acute laryngitis, and I'm just, well, recovering from a mental breakdown from all this. I'm in no position to refuse help, and anything at all, even just a kind word, a share, a dollar, or words of encouragement is deeply appreciated. I currently work three jobs, and I sell prints and do commissions, so if you'd like to support me and my art, I'll be making a separate post for my art samples and commission rates. Hopefully with this new Dr they won't require us to go through another round of lab tests and we can finally have a solution / closure with what's going on with my mom's health..

in the meantime, if anyone wants to send me tips and any breathing room as I steel myself for my mom's next Dr's appt, it is so so appreciated. Thank you so much. everything goes towards my mom's insulin, my sister's educational needs and cat food. Thank you so much for all the help people are willing to give, and I hope for more stability soon

Im sharing here my tipping jar again!

its my mom's birthday today, and it would mean the world to everyone in my family if anyone with the means would like to send anything our way.

my mom is a survivor of sepsis, and is a full time wheelchair user; my dad is chronically ill and my sister is autistic with a very low frustration threshold.

I am the only one in a family of 4 who can work; I am my family's sole breadwinner and caretaker. I currently have three jobs, one at publishing, another drawing for indie games and book covers, and another as freelancer; I work 9 hours almost every day of the week, but bc both my parents have a plethora of health issues and need constant medical attention, I am barely making a livable wage; From my mom's last tests, we also found out that her kidneys are weak and so is one of her lungs. My mom also says she has gone completely blind in her one eye; according to the dr it was likwly because of her diabetes. After her bday, we would like to see if something can still be done aboit her eye, and what else can we do for her kidneys, and maybe some breathing room for me; I have not had a day off from work since January 6, and before that I only got days off on the holidays T ~ T

anythjng is welcome, I appreciate it so so so so much. thank you for reading all the way, n I hope everything is easier on everyone.

Hey guys, posting this here in case anyone would be interested in helping out. Due to the recent storms in the philippines, parts of our house has been rotting away bc of leaks. Our house is 30 years old and mostly made of wood, n we've been slowly repairing it; but bc of the rising prices of everything.. it's been hard to keep up. Im sharing my tipping jar in Case anyone would like to send any of their disposable income. I know everyone else is having a very difficult time so I understand if I won't get much. If anyone at all has anything to spare I'd be eternally appreciative. I work three jobs, all of them are related to art, but one of them is very labor intensive and rely on a lot of crunch time.. I'd prefer to work for money but bc all three of my family members are disabled and I'm the only one who is physically and mentally able to work.. I'm not earning enough for my parents medical bills and my sister's tuition fees and meals plus now.. the repairs. So.. again, if anyone can spare anything, id be super grateful. No pressure at all if you see this and want to help but can't, I appreciate you. Thank you very much for reading.

Hi guys. Sharing this again. It would mean the world to me if anyone with any spare resources can help me foot the accumulation of this month and last month's electricity bills. My mom is losing vision in one of her eyes and has been in and out of the hospital due to her diabetes and its been a lot to pay for all alone as we've been trying out a bunch of different tests to determine what else could be making her sick. The accumulation is 7,980 pesos, or 135 usd and 95 cents.

Anything at all helps. Please. And thank you so much.
