Canto del Turpial

El turpial me canta desde el araguaney,

su melodía dorada, 

mi eterna ley.

Amar esta tierra, 

su cielo, su gente,

el eco del llano, 

vibrante y presente.

Desde el pico nevado hasta el vasto delta,

mi amor se extiende, 

como una gaviota.

Por sus playas de arena, 

el mar que me llama,

por cada rincón, 

mi corazón te aclama.

Venezuela mía, 

de historia y fulgor,

eres mi cuna, mi luz, mi fervor.

Y aunque lejos esté, mi alma te implora,

volver a tu abrazo, 

mi tierra que adora.

— Anyi Fermín

Apologies for long rambling but this is seriously important to me.

Hey gang, I'm in a bit of a fucked up pickle. For the past 2 years I've been on n off with my financial assistance due to multiple reasons, and this time it's been completely unfair. Despite doing everything I was asked to do, I was still sanctioned for 6 months (April - September). Thankfully, I was given the chance to send in an appeal and just had a hearing a few days ago, however despite being given a second chance to gather the missing documents, I'm still not seeing my income.

For those who don't understand why I've been in such a long financial crisis, I've been struggling with housing and finances since 2021 when my mom passed away from pancreatic cancer. I was only 18 and still in school, hence why I didn't have a good headstart before. I was also in a toxic relationship and didn't fully understand until I was placed in Job Corps of Maui to find temporary housing and job training. I've just recently been diagnosed with BPD and major depression disorder, and have past diagnosis for bipolar, PTSD, and autism. I also have scoliosis that causes intense chronic pain along the back muscles that are important for mobility, as well as diabetes type 2 that causes weakness and shaking if I don't eat every 4-5 hours.

Because of all those issues and disabilities, I fear I cannot hold a stable job. Not only that, but the job market in Maui is abysmal unless you're in Lahaina (I'm nowhere near that town). Despite all this, because of my disabilities being "invisible" and I force myself to be hyper independent, the government doesn't like to think I'm "disabled enough" so I cannot get SSI/SSDI, hence Financial assistance from DHS. Even then, I haven't had a good support system up until this year. Because of this, I've been sanctioned multiple times due to past support ppl not following through their job.

I can't wait anymore. My case manager insisted I promote myself to gather money for the time being as I need to pay 162$ USD a month for rent, I need food, and I need hygiene products as I'm running low (I need specific items as I sweat heavy). I'm desperately pushing my Kofi donation pool. Please, if you're just as in a tight spot, share this. I'm scared. I'm anxious. I'm nervous. I don't want to lose my housing. I don't want to starve. Please.

I hate to be doing this, but my cat has had some serious medical issues come up. Between school tuition, basic life needs, donating to mutual aid funds when I can, and her expensive rx food + regular care, I'm already stretched thin.

Another $2k in medical bills is just a stress I cannot manage right now.

Please, if you can't donate to help me and my precious baby girl out, at least share. Sharing would mean a lot to us.

I wish I had the capacity right now to offer fanfiction in exchange, but I'm already behind on the fics I need to write for the Gaza campaigns because of school and my physical health. I know we are all struggling, so I don't necessarily expect reaching the full goal, but even if I can make a part of it, it would make a difference.

Thank you to anyone who supports us in any way.
