2hiit, let2 be god2

Um. Hi. I’m still alive. I’m sorry for disappearing like that. I promise that it wasn’t anybody’s fault - not mad, not avoiding anyone. Initially it was because seeing political stuff/current events was making it hard to convince myself being awake was worth the pain, then it was just… easier, I guess, to stay away. Tumblr had become toxic for me, so I ollied the fuck out. I’m not sorry for that.

I am sorry for not telling anyone what was going on. I know I scared a few of you, probably more. I’m used to just cutting and running when I get scared, but. I realized how unfair that was to y’all. This isn’t a video game I can just stop playing and come back to whenever. I have to think about how my actions impact the people around me.

So. To bring y’all up to speed: I’m safe, I’m healthy (or at least I’m less unhealthy), I’m relatively stable. I’m living with my parents, I see an individual therapist twice a week and I go to a DBT (dialectic behavioral therapy) group once a week. I’m on new medications, including something specific to agoraphobia, and I think the cocktail is working. I volunteer twice a week at my local SPCA, feeding and caring for cats. I’m in New Jersey at the moment. My brother turned 17 today and my sister’s getting married tomorrow, and then it’s back to California.

I don’t plan to come back to Tumblr, certainly not right now and certainly not as much as I used to be. I just figured I owed you all an apology, and an explanation. I’ll try to pay attention for the next week or so if any of you want other ways to contact me or want to ask questions or talk or whatever. 

boost=minor blessing

Before we get started, here’s the ko-fi link!  Wall of text to follow:

I’m starting a small donation drive to help a coworker of mine who’s in a bad situation.  Rose is the sweetest, most selfless little old lady you’ll ever meet.  She’s a model employee, always the first to offer a helping hand, brings in baked goods every other day to keep moral up, is just about the only person at the hotel who remembers birthdays and decorates for holidays, but right now she has a daughter living half way across the country that needs her help and it just breaks my heart to see her so crestfallen.

Rose’s daughter is a recently-recovered drug addict with severe epilepsy combined with a few other medical issues that are going to require her to live with someone who can care for her.  Unfortunately, she doesn’t have anyone in her life besides Rose who would be able to help her through her recovery, but she’s in California and Rose is all the way up here in ND.  At her best estimate, it will cost Rose about $2000 dollars to fly down there, rent a u-haul to drive back, and buy a few other basic’s she’s going to need to take care of her daughter.  Rose was planning on getting a small loan to help her do this but the bank rejected her loan application today!

I’m asking for donations through ko-fi because it pays out immediately and it’s a little easier for organization,  We just don’t have time to deal with GoFundMe or other donation sites and I can’t justify using any site that would take a cut of what we raise.  My goal right now, though maybe a bit optimistic, is to raise the $2000 in two weeks time so Rose can get to California no later than the start of August.  Even if we can’t get the full amount that’s when we’ll give her whatever we’ve raised, because time is of the essence in this situation.

Every little bit helps, even if you’re unable to donate a reblog might help save a life.  The ko-fi page is set up through my paypal because, well, Rose doesn’t actually know we’re doing this for her.  We’re helping her set something up locally but want it to be a surprise when we give her the money.  If anyone leaves a name or a comment when they donate I promise to pass on all the kind words as well.

Please, everyone, I can’t imagine ever asking for anything like this for myself but I can’t stand seeing good people like Rose suffer.  Spread this like wildfire, donate if you can, and I’ll keep you updated as time goes on.

Also gonna just come right out and admit it, I kinda fucked up here!  Ko-fi does take a little bit of every donation.  Out of the 72 dollars donated (at the time of writing) I’ve only received about 68, so doing some quick math that means to actually raise $2000 through ko-fi we’d need to get about $2140 in donations.  If you want to donate and you’re going to be using paypal please donate directly to [email protected] to avoid that cut.

I’m also going to stop reblogging this post twice a day every day, because I know the worst thing you can do for a charity is over-saturate it, but I’ll still reblog this every so often to beg to let you all know how it’s coming along.

I’m chronically ill and lately my pain levels have kept me bedridden, which means i can’t do the things i normally love like drawing and game building, and definitely cannot play Pokemon Go as i can’t currently walk more than a few yards for food before having to lie back down again.

I’m bored out of my mind and can’t get anything done without help, so i would like to humbly ask if anyone has a few spare dollars on hand so I can

1. Buy foods and snacks that are easy to prepare/reach, as I’ve been doing really poorly in actually feeding myself,

2. Have enough money for some kind of hair day or something of the sort for some self care, and

3. Maybe a couple bucks to spend on PoGo lures or incense otherwise I just won’t get to play ever.

I guess the last one isn’t that important, and really only the first one is important for my physical health, but I’d appreciate it none the less.

*updated costs, see links below

I have a physical disability that completely confines to me to my bed, which means I have to pay people to help me with anything that requires any amount of physical strength or leaving the bed at all. There were some unexpectedly high home care/assistance and food costs in the past week, so now I don’t have any money left except for amounts set aside for legal costs etc. I need some help.

The amount that I need to raise for rent, home care, transport, and groceries etc. this week is $1590 and I’ve listed the specific payments on this linked post (updated cost explained here). Getting assistance is particularly important this week because a lot of it is specifically to help me with trying to get to my neurologist’s appointment on 21st July. I have had no consultations for 8 months because of a bad financial situation and my condition is rapidly getting worse. I’m terrified about what this will mean for me if I continue to have no access to specialist medical care.

I need to raise most of the $1590 by the end of today (5PM Monday AEST or 3AM Monday EST), so that I can then focus on raising money for bond and any potential upfront transport costs. I know this is a large amount of money and there’s not a lot of time. I do genuinely need to pay these things because I’m dependent on other people’s assistance and I’m almost completely isolated from unpaid support. Any amount would help, donations of $5 or $1 all add up and will really help me.

Here is evidence of my medical condition.

These are the donations options if you’re able to donate. Thanks everyone for your support. - PayPal donations page (PayPal account not required) - PayPal.me (PayPal account required; no fee for PayPal balance transfers) - PayPal transfer to sophaldred at gmail dot com if PayPal.me is unavailable.

After new information, ive decided to use youcaring instead of gofundme!

The way i tried this before wasnt working, trying to keep personal information from the people stalking me. But i need help and thats more important at the moment.

In short, i was diagnosed with stage 4 hodgkins lymphoma and im currently undergoing treatment for it. But not everything is covered, and my illness prevents me from getting a job. Ive seen tumblr help countless amount of people before and i was hoping it could do the same for me, because i dont really have anywhere else to turn to.

REPOSTED ART 1 / REPOSTED ART 2

help me report art reposting on this account. They didn’t even credit the artist! if you find the actual creator of these pics, please tell them!

So some of you may know that this past week Jess @jsxu was diagnosed with eye cancer. Luckily it was caught early but its still very serious and he had emergency surgery on Thursday, and we’ve have to stay in a hotel from last Sunday to the coming Monday.

All of this is very expensive, and what makes it worse is that our insurance denied the claim to pay for the surgery, so we had to borrow over 40k to pay for it. We just applied for an appeal to get the money back but theres no guarantee that they’ll change their minds, and even if they do we still have to pay for the anesthesia and hotel room out of pocket.

We were already tight with money so we really need any help we can get to put some money towards the expenses. If you want to help out here are some things we’re currently running:

Jess has an online store that sells super cute buttons and stickers that you can preorder

I’m taking commissions (examples here) on a pay-what-you-want basis

Jess has a Buy Me A Coffee button on his blog that sends him 2$ through paypal, or if youd rather go straight through paypal his email is [email protected]

He also has an amazon wishlist, just incase you’d like to send something to keep his spirits high 

tldr; Jess has eye cancer and we had to borrow a lot of money so we’re trying to raise some. 

Please. Please please please read this and reblog!

If you support LGBTQ Rights you need to stop scrolling and read this. This is not a fucking joke.

If you cant read this, here it is: 

If you don’t remember Sophie M Herold, she is a German girl, who is extremely homophobic and transphobic. She has found out LGBTQ persons names, addresses, personal info etc. And set up her own database. Her intentions with this are harmful.

Pillowfort.io’s Indiegogo Campaign Is Now Live! Ending June 25th!

Looking for alternatives to Tumblr? Help us make a better social media website for you.

We’re creating Pillowfort because we have been blogging for years, and have long dreamed of a platform that would bring together all the best features of the various platforms we’ve used, allowing each user to customize their own experience. The ability to curate your own blog, and participate in organized community discussions about your favorite subjects. The ability to control who can see or reblog your content, so that you can post whatever you want without worrying about who can see it. Most of all, we wanted to create a blogging platform that was every user’s own party– a place to surround yourself with your favorite things, share them with others, share your own creations, and have fun with people who share your interests.

Our goal is $600– you can view a breakdown of our cost estimates on the Indiegogo page. Everyone who donates at least $5 will be given access to the site’s first beta launch!* We really appreciate all the support that you’ve all given us up to this point, and we can’t wait to bring the site to you. We’ve already built out most of the functionality of the site itself (and all the footage in the video is of the site’s current build so you can see it in action!) and we just need the money to cover our hosting expenses. So check out the page, which has a lot more information, and let us know if you have any questions!

my friend @weedlesbian and her family just got kicked out of the place they were living and they don’t have anywhere to go. kay supports the other four members of her family basically on her own and just paid rent so she has nothing left

I don’t use this account anymore like,,, ever, but this is the account that has the most followers. Me and my dad are trying to go to Comic Con this year after so many failed attempts in the past years, but some financial trouble came up recently, and we’re slacking behind. I made a gofundme ( https://www.gofundme.com/2dffauc ) to help him out, as well as myself. The goal total is $1111, but any other money besides that would help with everything and anything else that we might need.

This is a last minute thing as well, given I need the money before the 18th. Again, very, very last minute. But every dollar counts, and if you don’t have the money/can’t donate, then could everyone please signal boost this at least?

Hey guys, I’ve given this a lot of thought, but I don’t know what else to do. So, I’m here to ask for some help.

For those who don’t know me, I’m Heather, and I have a pretty great mom who taught me how to love the world and give great hugs and always tell the ones you care about you love them because you never know what may happen the next day.

That mom is in serious and dire trouble right now. My mom is a great 51 year old women, who has gone through so many jobs over the years. A few she had to walk away from to make sure me and my sister had the care and love we needed through each storm of bad luck that came our way. From my depression and being sick in bed for almost an entire year, to my sister being diagnosed with diabetes and ending up in the hospital a few times, to my sister having a baby and my mom helping raise the kid. Not all big things, but things, at the time, we were scared and uninformed about. And she’d research and care for us. Even as she came down with depression, dealing with my dad’s suicide attempts and break downs, to her own thoughts and feelings of suicide, she’s stuck it out.

She’s struggled so hard to swim up river, and has applied for thousands of jobs. She’s gone to so many job fairs and interviews I can’t even count them all. She has so much experience from being a waitress(on roller skates at a time) to working on computers(she can type faster than anyone I’ve ever seen and takes the most diligent notes and is always organized), and is the biggest people person. But she can never land a job, for whatever reason. (I personally suspect age, because lets face it, who easier to pay tiny wages to than young people.)

Even when she gets a job, everything comes crashing down, and she has no money left to her name. Now she’s at a point where she can’t afford their rent anymore, nor gas, or food, or bills. She was just laid off(her job claimed being overstaffed) my sister is leaving to move in with her new boyfriend, and my grandparents refuse to help her or let her move in with them.

I lived in my car, on friends couches, and jumped hotels for a little over 2 months, so I can imagine what it’s like to have no where to go. But to have no one who wants you on top of that, while still having to care for pets no less, is something I never wanted my mom to be in. I’ve tried so hard to keep her afloat, but now I’m in a position where I can’t help her on my own. I can’t pay her rent and bills, no matter how much I want to.

I’d like to earn enough money for her to afford someplace to stay until she can find a job again. I think if she can have a good starting amount of money to keep her going, she won’t have to be forced to do anything drastic.

This is my mom, guys. A mom who has been trying to damn hard to do everything she can but the world keeps pushing her down and holding her underwater, wanting her to drown. It’s not fair, and the fact her family won’t help her because she can’t get out of the situation by herself is even worse. She’s TRIED. She doesn’t want this, she LOVES working, she loves being able to take care of people, I just can’t understand how someone who tries harder than anyone has to be forced into being homeless and alone.

I’m really, really, REALLY hoping to raise anywhere from $5,000 to $10,000, if at all possible. I know it’s a lot, and probably impossible, but sadly it’s not a lot or enough for someone to live on for long. But it should be enough to help my mom at least pay another few month’s rent and bills and buy her more time to hear back from another job. But honestly, anything helps at this point.

If you guys can help my mom out, I’d be indebted to you forever. If you want a drawing, or a day to hang out at Disneyland, or a cookie I can bake and send to you, or something, you got it. Just please, please help me keep my mom off the streets. She’s almost been there before, and now that she’s alone it’s even more likely. And she loves our pets to death and they’re the only real comfort she has, I don’t want anything to happen to her and all of them.

If you can’t donate, please spread this around for me. I’m really hoping to save up any money for her before the month is up.

Please help

My parents are VERY unsupportive of me being anything but a heterosexual black Christian. I came out to my parents after not being able to lie to them anymore about who I am.

They cut me off.

I have been pursing my dream of being a professional theatre technician. I will be a junior this upcoming school year. I took time off from school once before and that turned into 2 and a half years. I’ve worked hard to get as close to graduating on time as I can. I am so close to being finished.

I need financial help to get back to school. Not only do I need to finish, but I need to be in an environment that is emotionally supportive of who I am. That environment is at my college.

I have exhausts my financial resources from the school. I have been denied countless times from multiple banks because no one in my family will cosign a student loan. I am not eligible for anymore federal aid.

I have no where else to turn this close to school starting again.

$9000 will get me back in a safe environment and I will be able to finish pursuing my technical theatre degree.

If anyone could help me out I’d be forever grateful. Thank you.

I’m not in a great situation or environment right now.
