Venezuela was already a devastated country, and this just made everything a million times worse.

All these campaigns/fundraisers I'm sharing have been verified.

Not because he had lost hope in life, but because he could hear the final breaths of his last daughter beneath the debris. Her tiny hands were holding his in the darkness, as if she were seeking comfort from him one last time. Yet the father, who had always believed he was their source of safety, was this time powerless to pull them out from beneath the dust and stones.

Nothing of his body was visible except his head. He stared into the faces of the rescuers with eyes exhausted by fear and helplessness, saying to them

“Leave me... my daughters are here. I do not want to come out alone.”

What heart can bear such a scene? What language can describe the feeling of a father who realizes he is losing his daughters one by one, while still holding their hands until they grow cold, unable to offer them rescue or even one final embrace?

How will your day continue after hearing this story? How will you sit at your table in peace, or laugh at something trivial, knowing that there was a father whose final wish was not to survive alone?

And the question that continues to haunt the human conscience remains:

How much pain does it take for the world to hear the cry of a single father there?

as venezuela is my home country, all of this hits especially close to home. thankfully, my family and loved ones are safe since they were in cities not as severely affected. however, many others have not been as fortunate and are now facing the aftermath of these events.

years of political and economic instability have left many communities with limited resources and infrastructure, making it even more difficult to respond to emergencies like this. there are reports of people who remain missing, and many families are still waiting for news about their loved ones. rescue efforts have been made even more difficult by shortages of equipment, ambulances, and other emergency resources needed to respond to a disaster of this scale.

My mother is in the ICU, and her life depends on an urgent, life-saving surgery that costs $700.

For three whole days, we haven't received a single donation. Three days of absolute silence and agonizing waiting.

The heartbreaking reality? We have only raised $3 out of $700.

My mother is slowly dying because we cannot afford her treatment.

The amount someone might casually spend on a cup of coffee is literally the price of my mother’s next breath.

We don't have the luxury of time. We don't have the luxury of pride. We need your help immediately.

Please donate whatever you can; even $1 makes a huge difference.

If you cannot donate, reblogging this is a must. It might reach someone who can help save my mother's life before it's too late.

Can anyone match my friend's donation today?

This has been happening all month with little to no international media attention. Here are a few organizations you can check out for resources or to support:

I am feeling like I want to continue to do tarot readings as part of my life, but I have become much busier since moving that I don't reliably have the time to sit down and do Free Reading Fridays like I used to.

So, this has left me pondering how I want to go about this.

I personally find tarot to be very affirming and cathartic. And as you may have noticed, there are readings that I prefer to do vs. readings I shy away from. I think of tarot as a reflecting pool. You can use it to ask about something other than yourself, but in the end the pool can only reflect yourself back to you. So, use it to focus on yourself! This is why I don't like answering questions about celebrities, how someone feels about you, what is in your future, etc. It isn't that tarot can't forecast these things: it's just that most of the time, I don't think it is actually helpful to you. And, I don't like doing readings that I don't feel are going to be helpful in some way.

What's Next?

I've been thinking that I want to do 33 blind readings. I want them to be big and juicy readings, too, not just a paragraph or two or three. I want them to provide insight on something you need to work on in yourself in order to be a more fulfilled version of yourself, something which perhaps you are not even aware of. I want my readings to make you feel seen, understood, and reassured.

If this sounds of interest to you, please feel free to send me an ask. Tell me why you want a reading from me, and be heartfelt. I will respond to people who are matching the vibe.

I would like to provide a sample, so if anyone is brave enough to have a thorough reading done on them in public, I will offer you a second one in private.

Conditions

I would greatly appreciate it if you took the time to leave me a truthful review about your reading. 🙏💛

One reading per person. So: you must contact me off anon via asks.

The 4th one will be posted publicly due to a very brave person. 🙏 I hope it will be a helpful experience for everyone involved.
