Any support would be greatly appreciated, anything to help make sure I can keep myself healthy and it'll even go affording things like my medication for my seizures.

If you want to support, you can find me on Ko-Fi and I thank you deeply in advance.

hi! valerie here, black trans bipolar musician writer lady, basically I'm short on money I need to get into a stable housing situation, essentially I had my benefits payment cut (called a sanction) because of 3 weeks of noncommunication with the jobcentre while I was having a severe depressive episode a couple months back, I've been couchsurfing for the past month and a half and a friend has recently had a room open up in their house, but due to the sanction I can't pay the full rent before the due date, I'm so burnt out from being houseless at the moment and really any help so I can have a stable place would be so appreciated !!! <3333

As of Saturday, 4-11, I will be staying & sleeping in my car indefinitely; not the best situation with my health issues, but I'm out of options. My plan is to park at a strip mall that has a grocery store, a Dunkin's, and a McD's. I can probably get a hot tea at either place, and sit inside a few hours at a time. The toughest time will be 2-6am, when everything is closed. I'm on two powerful diuretics (to stave off fluid retention) because of the issues with my heart, and not having access to a bathroom that long is going to be problematic.

If you're looking for an editor or you know someone who might be, please send them my way !! (This includes if you just happen to see someone posting about needing an editor online) I can be reached at [email protected] or @ditzykitty_ on discord

I hope this doesn't feel weird for me to post, I'm just really trying to lock down an editing job right now and it's hard to find a right fit. I hope you understand

LET’S HELP HALA EVACUATE RAFAH! PLEASE SHARE

Hala is a young woman from Gaza who is married to the love of her life, Mazen.

Last year, the young couple had their first baby, Mohammed, who they loved more than anything in the world.

Tragically, Mohammed got sick in his first months of life and, due to the siege on Gaza, his illness could not be treated as well as he needed and he passed. This was shortly before the beginning of the current aggression on Gaza. That is when Hala and Mazen’s house was destroyed and a series of dangerous displacements began for them, with barely any of their belongings left.

During this time, they found out they were expecting another baby. Hala knew that both she and Mazen may have conditions that would make it hard for them to give birth to a healthy baby; in fact, since losing Mohammed, her goal had been to get the medical care they both need in order to figure this issue out and hopefully resolve it. Hala did everything she could to keep her fetus safe but, at the beginning of May, her fourth month pregnancy, she lost the baby during their displacement from Rafah.

Just a short while ago, Hala felt sick and dizzy and when she was able to see a doctor, she discovered she is about two months pregnant. Scared, she asked the doctor what she should do. He said they need to wait until the fourth month of pregnancy and evaluate the health of the fetus to find out if she can carry on the pregnancy in a healthy manner.

For a few months, Hala has been fundraising to be able to evacuate to Egypt, where most of her family is waiting for her and where she could finally get the rest and medical care she needs. On top of the expenses needed for her and Mazen to evacuate, they have had to spend a lot of money for their forced displacements, and also on food, water and basic necessities that are currently incredibly expensive and hard to find in Gaza.

This drawing is for Hala, to remember her beloved Mohammed, who showed her the joy of motherhood.
