I would like to preface by wishing everyone a great end of year celebration! Everyone has just been amazing through their support and we are beyond grateful.

Sadly, on behalf of our family, I am once again asking for help. After a tough year and a super typhoon that destroyed our home, we are unfortunately at wits end allover again.

My government scholarship — that was supposed to be used not only for my studies, but also for our everyday expenses like food, electricity and water, AND the holidays so we can also celebrate — was delayed even more. It's been seven months and we might be looking for another 2-3 month wait. Because of this, our family will not be celebrating Christmas this year. But I hope that maybe we might be able to have something for the upcoming New Year's.

This is the link to our PAYPAL 🎀 — and any amount you can spare is a great help to our family during this time. A reblog is also always appreciated!

If you can, please also reblog this update on our situation. It's been the roughest year of our life but we are now three months out of an abusive home, and it is a decision we do not regret.

However, with our mom out of the job and all three of us still studying, we are struggling to get by with only scholarship funds to keep an entire family afloat. In no more than a year from now, my sister and I would be graduating and finally working - hopefully as a veterinarian and a professor, respectively. But we genuinely need all the support we can get to keep going until then. Thank you, everyone. 🪷

My sister and I have resorted to taking side-jobs to make sure our youngest sibling will have things for the coming school year, and our single mom is doing what she can to budget with very little. But everything is barely enough to make ends meet for money and rent, especially with the loans our father has left us.

If you can, please share and reblog this post. Any amount of donation or manner of help means the absolute world.

In need of urgent help for educational funds, medical care, and bills. Thank you for taking time to read!

Hi and hello! My friends finally convinced me to post after months of being knee-deep in debt and I hope people will make time to read through. I am posting as the first-born child of a lower class family from the Philippines, both for my parents and my two siblings in school. Any amount will help us greatly.

As of last year, our family has fallen really deep in financial problems to the point that food and other amenities sometimes become unaffordable for a week.

My father (53) had developed long term chronic pain from a failed stroke treatment during the pandemic and is now a registered PWD. My mother (44) is a self-employed seamstress with slowly declining eyesight which we could not afford to get checked. I have two siblings both in school, with a brother (13) in highschool and a sister (21) in Veterinary Medicine college. I myself (24) recently graduated with my bachelor's, and eventually pushed through to apply for master's studies in Biology, hoping to finally get a better job soon.

Unfortunately, in order to graduate as soon as I can, I had to quit my job as a university researcher working with the Department of Health. I am currently looking for a scholarship to cover my own costs, but their funding will not be available until later this year. This country also provides little to no financial aid to its poor and disabled, and will not even provide jobs below the minimum wage even for people with college degrees.

Without a steady source of income, the bills for my tuition, siblings' educational needs, parent's medicine, and general utilities (food, water, electricity, etc.) had piled up. My father took in loans to keep us afloat but we have no pay this month or the next.

In this month and August alone, we are short on about 30,520 Philippine Peso (roughly 540.04 USD). This covers loan payments so banks don't come after us, miscellaneous school fees for my siblings and I, and bills to keep a roof over our heads.

Some platforms do not work for us in the Philippines, but I do have PAYPAL and KOFI !

I attached images for proof below the cut. Any amount is a great help to my family and a boost would also be greatly appreciated! Again, thank you very much for taking the time to read this ♡

A boost is greatly appreciated! And if you want to help, any amount means the world!

NOTP: the opposite of an OTP (One True Pairing). It is a ship a fan strongly dislikes. The word is a portmanteau of ‘no’ and ‘OTP’ and thus is not a contraction of any particular phrase.

Squick: anything that is a deep-seated, visceral turn-off. Squicks may be shared by many fans or be specific to one; one person’s kink may be another person’s squick.

YKINMKATO, or kink-tomato: Your Kink Is Not My Kink, And That’s Okay: used to indicate support for fannish diversity and to distinguish between disapproval or kink shaming and simply having different taste.

DLDR: Don’t Like, Don’t Read: a phrase used to warn against complaints about an aspect of fic or meta. A “live and let live” philosophy of fandom, which places the responsability for avoiding content one doesn’t want to see on the side of the fanwork consumer, rather that on the creator’s.

SALS: Ship And Let Ship: similar to the above specifically about shipping tastes.

YMMV: Your Mileage May Vary: a phrase used to acknowledge that any given individual’s personal opinion on the topic at hand may differ due to their own tastes, standards, values, experiences, etc.

As the OP points out, all of these crucially imply no moral judgment of what they’re designing.

But THIS is the part that made me lose it. I don't wanna comment on this but I think yall can figure out yourselves what exactly is wrong with this bit💀

Pain levels are so much better now, even with surgery swelling/bruising/pain.
