I like living, I want to live many years for my kids and for myself!!!

Our last post for transparency's sake.

Link to my archive, proof I've been the past 13 years.

I have been without my meds for a month now, all the money we've got so gar has been used for rent, bills, groceries, and other basic necessities.

I always put myself last but this is no viable, I need to care for myself so I can care for my family too. Our kids and elderly depend on my partner and me, I want to be as healthy as can be.

A month's worth of my meds is worth $270. Transportation included.

Our rescue cats need food too.

But we also URGENTLY need to get our eldest life saving trans care we started last year but we couldn't continue.

Our backs and joints are killing us from sleeping on the floor, so help with the laundromat so we don't have to hand wash our clothes would be great too. Also some ibuprofen patches.

Our friend is letting use its paypal* because paypal hates mexicans.

*Add a note "Aid for Calli" so it knows it's for us. Thank you!*

$15/$680

PAYPAL

I could kneel and beg if it means I could afford my meds today before 9pm.

My daughter is sick and needs urgent treatment before it is too late.

Do not leave her to suffer without support or compassion.

Any donation — even a small amount — can make a real difference and help save her life.

Please don’t ignore this humanitarian call.

so don't get too comfortable.

(this list is mainly ways non-locals can donate but by extension offers a lot of resources and places to volunteer in the Twin Cities + there are specific ways to donate time under the cut which can be adjusted to your local neighborhood)

$173 / $667

My friend Alanna is facing trouble right now because her dog Joca is terribly injuried and needs an urgent surgery. She was able to raise R$923,79, which in dollars would be $173,63. She still needs $493,59 to reach her final goal of $667,22.

I asked her if I could do this in here because most people around us don't have this amount of money to help and donations are unfortunately going too slow. The deadline is the end of the month. Literally any penny will help. Here's a healthy picture of her little Joaquim to make you happy:

Since Alanna doesn't have a PayPal, I'll be the bridge between you and her, so you can help her via:

I am writing these words with tears streaming down my face. I can no longer bear this pain. My wife is suffering from a severe deficiency in vitamins, especially vitamin D, and she urgently needs surgery to save her life. Her body is growing weaker day by day, malnutrition is stealing her strength, and I stand helpless watching her suffer.

All I wish for is to see her alive and healthy. Please help us provide healthy food, her medications, and fund the surgery that could save her life.

Even if you cannot donate, please share this post. Every support, every word, could be the difference between her life and death.
