extremely tired and incredibly caffeinated

Hi everyone !

This is my first time asking for help on social media so please, REBLOG ! It costs nothing 🙏🏼

I just had the greatest opportunity ever.

I live in France and I got selected among a lot of students to do an internship in the United States.

Unfortunately, I don’t have enough money to fund this incredible experience.

That’s the reason why I need a little help.

No matter how much you can give, it will help me to pay my flight ticket, my accommodation and it will also help me to buy food and transport once there.

This internship is very important to me.

I worked hard to be selected and if I manage to raise enough money, this experience would definitely boost my academic career.

Thanks to those who will share and donate. And, please, if you can’t donate, don’t.

A reblog would already mean the world to me. 💛

PS : My PayPal is https://www.paypal.me/mariamzenasni

PS 2 : No donation is too small !

🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

I feel a cough coming on, because I work in a drug store, and all of my customers are sick. I always feel a little bit sick, now. I can’t afford to eat well enough to keep my body healthy. Cough medicine is worth two hours and 20 minutes of work. Our store probably bought a case of cough medicine for they price we’re selling one box. If this cough gets worse, I might have to call out, which will cost me more than the medicine in the long run- but that doesn’t give me the money to buy the medicine right now. I stock a case onto the shelf. I don’t buy any.

A mom wrangling three crying, sick kids enters my line and sets two types of children’s medicine down, says they’re both on sale and thank god for that. I ring her up, and she gets very quiet, because she misread the sign, and her total is twice as high as she was expecting. Her youngest screams in the cart, because she’s burning up with fever. Her mother very quietly asks, please, she’s so sorry, if I could please take the more expensive one off her total.

I agree, I move the box below the counter, and when she’s not looking, I slip it into her bag. I pray as hard as I can that if she notices the “mistake” she says nothing, because I so desperately want her to have that medicine. The store has lost profit at the cost of a child’s health. I don’t bat an eye. This is a terminable offense. If I’m presented with the same situation tonight, I’ll do it in a heartbeat.

The myth of evil employees stealing from the company falls apart the second you realize the company would shoot you dead to make a profit. This isn’t two equal players, one of whom is stealing from the other. This is someone fighting for survival versus someone fighting to make an extra million. It’s not equal.

POLICE ARE USING TEARGAS AND WATER CANNONS AGAINST PEACEFUL, UNARMED PROTESTERS.

THIS IS WHAT THEY ARE DOING TO US. I’M FUCKING ANGRY THAT I CAN ONLY SIT HERE AND UPDATE SHIT.

We are unarmed. We have only our umbrellas.

A monk in the protest literally prayed and begged the police to stop. 

Dozens of people are injured from the water cannon.

My friends are freaking there. And I’ve lost contact with them. The last text I sent was to go to our campus because it is safer there.

I’m so angry. Dear international followers, please acknowledge and please boost this post.

This began because the Future Forward Party, a political group pushing for democratic reform, was forcefully disbanded by the unjust court.

Currently, two protesters face life imprisonment and >50 more have been arrested since the start of these protests.

This is from OCT 16, 2020.

This is what has been happening since early 2020. The situation is so bad that all the people have is their fellow citizens. The media and the authority are corrupted.

Thank you for your addition to the post @hkgs

Still, please spread the words, especially this version for more information.
