Do the Mario!

The Moon landing was faked

hey i haven’t seen this gofundme circulating here yet, but this is organized by the son of Hyun Jung Grant, one of the eight atlanta shooting victims.  his mother was a single mom and they don’t have any other family in the united states, so he will be raising his younger brother and organizing the funeral on his own.

So I’m aware I haven’t really posted anything in a while but I hope this reaches someone. My brother’s name is Efren. Growing up he used to tease and make fun of me, but among all the teasing he also helped raise me along with our mom. When he was little he wanted to be an architect. But his is the story that a lot of Mexican American working class families face: either take the opportunities available to you to attain your dreams, or curtail those in order to take care of your family. He chose his family. After graduating high school he turned down full ride scholarships in order to stay and work to help pay the bills. It was just him, my mom, and me. After a couple of years we got stable enough economically that he was able to go to college, but after graduation we fell on hard times again and instead of finding work in his field or applying to architecture school like he always dreamed, he decided to stick around and help us again. It’s because of his choice to help our family that I was able to go to college too, something that for a time I didn’t think was possible. It’s because of him that I was able to apply to and get accepted into a PhD program in the hopes of becoming a professor. It’s because of him that my mom has a house to call her own. My mom and I owe him everything. Yesterday, he was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). He’s uninsured. I’m a student, our mom works in childcare. There’s a high success rate for remission if he gets treatment, but we can’t afford it. He’s all me and my mom have, and we can’t lose him. He chose family growing up, and it’s my turn to choose him. Please, any donation helps. I just want him to come home.

I know times are tough with covid and everything so if anyone could please just spare a dollar or a reblog thatd be great. I can’t lose him.

First off, thank y’all so so much for the generosity, advice, and kind words y’all have shared. I honestly thought this might get a couple hundred notes I didn’t know it would get over 12k!!!! I’m so incredibly thankful to everyone who’s reblogged and donated and messaged me. Y’all truly don’t know how much it means to me and my family.

Now I wanna post a couple updates here. A lot of y’all pointed out that hospitals should have financial aid or pointed out some charities that could help, and for that I’m very thankful. Yesterday we applied to the hospital financial aid but they told us that he likely only qualifies for a 50% discount on their sliding scale because of income. We’re incredibly thankful for that help of course, but 50% of $30k/month is still $15k/month for treatment. I also spent yesterday applying to different cancer charities and Catholic charities and Latino charities and government assistance but ofc cancer related assistance is in really high demand and a lot of charities are strained thin because of covid and people losing their jobs.

I’m incredibly grateful for y’all’s extreme generosity, so far through the gofundme, Venmo, cashapp, and PayPal we’ve received $8,327.64 and I’m absolutely blown away. I’m in tears writing this I didn’t know people could be so generous. I know times are tough with covid and a lot of families are going through the unimaginable. I don’t know how much more this post can circulate on tumblr, so now I’m just asking if y’all could do this:

Please spread this post and the gofundme link on your other social media.

I’ve made this post on Twitter that y’all can retweet (link) but I don’t have Instagram or Facebook or Reddit because I’m admittedly kind of a hermit. So I’m incredibly thankful for everything y’all have done, I’m just hoping that maybe some of y’all will spare a retweet or a repost and help get the word out to as many people as possible. Thank y’all. God bless.

Apologies for the late update. But first and foremost I just wanna say:

Thank you so much.

We’re blown away by everyone’s generosity, I never thought that this would gain as much traction as it did, and Efren also wants to say thank you so much. Words really don’t do justice to the overwhelming amount of support and love that we’ve received though this and though everyone reaching out and offering your kind words and suggestions. When I showed this gofundme to Efren he was speechless, both my mom and I cried because now he gets to stick around just a little bit longer, and that would’ve never happened were it not for everyone’s support. So a million times, thank you.

Now for the (actual) update: Since we heard about the diagnosis, we’ve been applying to a couple of different charities and to St. Francis’, SCCA’s, and UW Medical Center’s financial aid departments respectively. I want to give a quick shout out to people who offered advice and helped us navigate this whole financial situation. Thanks to everyone’s help, Efren’s been able to see a whole army of doctors and hospital staff (Efren says there’s too many to count) and he’s gotten his first round of chemo with more to come in the following weeks. Because of you guys, he’s been able to laugh and talk shit about me for the first time since we got the diagnosis, something I never would’ve thought I’d miss. The bill has gone way WAY down, so now we’re looking at a total of $25k instead of $200k, mostly for meds and the initial emergency room visit.

We never expected this much help and generosity. We’ve set up a payment plan for the remaining amount so it’s not gonna be due all at once – this is a long road to remission as I’m sure some of you may know, so hopefully a combination of payment plans and a diet of ramen packets (I’m kidding mostly) will help us weather this storm. Again, my whole family and I just want to thank each and every single person who’s donated, shared, and sent kind words or prayers our way. God bless you all.

hi friends, i hate to do this but my family is having an awful day -- our house literally fucking burned down and we lost almost everything, including our dog. i'm heartbroken and devastated. i can't stop crying. what wasn't lost is now considered a biohazard and has to be either destroyed or deep cleaned, which just won't work for things like my medication (which i will go into withdrawal without), burned phones, laptops, etc. almost all of our heirlooms, clothes, savings, etc are gone. just gone.

the cost to replace our necessities (clothes. shoes. etc) on top of medical fees (all 6 of us have to go to the hospital due to the amount of smoke and debris we breathed in) is overwhelming and it would be so very appreciated if anyone could help, whether financially or even through praying for us if that's something you do. sorry this is so frazzled. i'm in shock and very very sad.

She was an incredible woman with a heart of gold, she was the best mom for me and my brother. Our mama gave us everything she could and played the role of both parents our entire lives. The world will never be the same without her.

She was diagnosed with breast cancer when I was 19 and my brother was 21. We were her caretakers. Some days it felt like it was us three against the world. Our mama was stubborn and strong willed, she fought with all she could. We are grateful for the last five years we spent together, and we will miss her until the end of time.

We were by her side in the ICU on Valentine’s day as she peacefully fell into eternal slumber, surrounded by love. She will be alive in our hearts forever, and now she’s my forever valentine 🤍

Please share our gfm & donate if you have the means to do so. We greatly appreciate any support and we want to be able to give our mama the celebration of life she deserves. Thank you.

Hey everyone!! My friend is raising money for jaw surgery so I’m posting this here!

My name is Juliana. I was born with a jaw deformity. I have a 13mm overjet that hinders me greatly. I struggle with speech, eating, sleeping, and chronic pain due to my condition. I have to work extra hard just to breathe because my lower jaw is underdeveloped.

Through recommendations from my orthodontist, dentist, and potential jaw surgeon, I have been told that I've needed double orthognathic surgery for years. This operation will greatly reduce my risk of sleep apnea and developing more pain in the future. I will finally be able to eat without having to take breaks or stop because of the pain. Surgery, post-op care, and future visits will be covered under the amount requested.

I will need the funds as soon as possible to begin treatment. The sooner the operation takes place, the sooner I can live without immense pain. This is incredibly urgent. The younger I am, the less risk I have of developing complications associated with orthognathic surgery. As I have recently stopped growing, I need to have this done as soon as possible.

Currently, my insurance refuses to cover the cost of this operation in any way. After reviewing my case, they have deemed my surgery unimportant. However, that could not be farther from the truth. This surgery will change my life. I will finally be able to live without chronic pain. I need this operation.

Hello!

I thought I'd give you a little more insight into the surgical procedure I need.

I require double orthognathic surgery. This operation is crucial to my health and wellbeing.

Guys, please help me get out of my horrible hell that is unfortunately my prison (home). My mother is getting gradually worse and constantly berates me all day to a point where I have no energy to do anything and no care to taking care of myself. I hardly eat anymore…just once a day because I have zero appetite. I am still struggling to financially and while I am trying to make new collections and comics, she comes in and attacks me verbally, slamming my bedroom door and being outright violent. It’s really affecting me and I feel so desperate, I don’t know what to do with myself. It’s at a point where I stay up till 6 am every day just to have the midnight hours to myself to be in peace and feel like I’m alone. It’s the only time I can work but even then, the late nights tire me.

I wanted to show the whole new collection of pluto when I was done with the iOS icon set and stickers with a few new other products but I’m going to show them early…
