###DISABLED & COMPLETELY BEDBOUND###

By ****END OF TONIGHT*** Oct 16 (EST), another $630 AUD must be raised for disability care, or I could face DIRE DETERIORATION.  
Without donations, my carer may soon be FORCED TO LEAVE THE COUNTRY if I can’t pay her.

PLEASE DONATE HERE or here
Link 1 donations counter target: $13,967 AUD
Count incl. EXPENDED old donations.

I’m completely bedbound with CRPS [medical reports] and unable to care for myself – including being unable to even walk to a tap or open my front door to receive a food delivery. I  can only ever leave bed carried on a spine board by 2 paramedics. 

For 4hrs/day care for a week, AT LEAST $924 must be raised.

Due to the student visa requirement for ~$19,830 in savings, a skilled disability carer could quit her job and/or be forced to repatriate if I can’t pay her. If this happens, I’ll drastically deteriorate for MONTHS while putting up with OUTRAGEOUS problems that abound with MOST other carers, e.g.: losing my keys twice in a week; secretly viewing porn in my flat;  etc, etc.

this is fantastic now children in Puerto Rico wont be able to receive the education they deserve thanks to their messed up government

Its even worse than that. I’m living through it. Not only are schools closing, hospitals are collapsing. Only around 9% of the island has electricity and it comes and goes at times.

People are dying in hospitals because of lack of diesel for the generators, a lot of the water is now infected, there are disease outbreaks and scareceness of food. I am safe, but many are not.

Some have water, others don’t. We need help. Sending money would be helpful but what would help even more would be sending water filters, filtering water bottles, food, medicine, if somehow possible diesel.

All of you reblogging this news helps, but what we need is physical help. If you can’t, then spread the word, but God if you can send supplies… Please… PLEASE do. We are dying. Help us, help us save ourselves. Help us save our people. Help us save out ISLAND.

If you’re not in a position to ship or transport useful items to the island (which is sure as heck the case for me in New Zealand) then the best thing you can do is give money to a reputable relief organisation operating in the area.

After being harassed for my disability, I’ve been unable to fundraise, TERRIFIED and without basic necessities. 

$396 AUD MUST be raised by END OF TODAY Oct 8 (EST) for disability care, or I may face DANGEROUS dehydration.

I’m completely bedbound with CRPS [medical reports] and unable to care for myself – including being unable to even walk to a tap or open my front door to receive a food delivery. I  can only ever leave bed carried on a spine board by 2 paramedics. My life itself is entirely dependent on assistance from paid disability care workers. For the past weeks, I’ve often struggled with close to $0, living with almost no care, and in the fear that I’ll face DANGEROUS or FATAL dehydration. The around the clock care I need costs $30 to $50/hr and up to thousands per week.  AT LEAST another $396 must be raised by END OF TODAY Oct 8.

uh so this is probably a long shot but.

when i was 8 years old my dad’s kidneys failed and he had to go on dialysis for about two and a half years. he was lucky enough to receive a transplant in 2009, and it’s kept him going since then, but in august he found out that his transplanted kidney is at 22% functionality.

it’s failing again.

the good news is that he’s been able to get treatment to slow his body’s rejection of the kidney, but chemotherapy and extended hospital stays are pretty costly for a man who’s single income doesn’t even always allow him to pay his electricity bills. 

my aunt made him a gofundme, in order to help him cover some of those medical expenses, as well as keep the lights on, since he’s had to take time off from work in order to facilitate the chemo. 

if it all possible, i would appreciate it so so much if you could donate. i really want my dad to live long enough to see my little brother graduate high school and me graduate college. 

thank you

I beg you. Stop scrolling and listen to me for a minute. Please.

I’m from Catalonia. It’s a region/state in Spain, from Europe. We’ve been wanting to independize from Spain for about 6 years now, and we were just about to have an independance referdum on October 1st.

Except Spain literally dismantled our government organism, the Generalitat. ILLEGALY. They screwed over all rules and protocols.

They suspended the Generalitat’s functioning, entered people’s houses and arrested them (14 people as of me writing this), confiscated their personal and social items, and so on, And they’re sending 8,000 militar soldiers to Catalonia. We’re on ‘exception’ status. Everybody is freaking out, Barcelona is collapsed with a rush of people manifestating right now (it’s literally impossible to try to enter) and nobody knows what to do or what is going to happen.

I repeat.

WE DO NOT HAVE A GOVERNMENT. THEY TOOK FROM US THE PUBLIC GOV ORGANISM THAT WE DEMOCRATLY VOTED FOR ON 2015.

I’m shaking as I’m writing this. I literally don’t know what will happen on the next hours. I’m actually scared.

I know this isn’t about the USA or South America or Asia or any other country that people on this site particulary care for. But please, boost this.

I want people to know of our situation. I want people to know that the Spain government took away all of our rights from us, catalonian people, when we have been just trying to do a pacific referendum and let the people vote.

PLEASE REBLOG. SEND THIS TO PEOPLE. JUST SPREAD THE WORD. THAT ALONE HELPS.

Have here a bunch of sources, IF YOU WANT I CAN TRANSLATE THEM. JUST ASK ME TO.

My beautiful niece Eva was diagnosed with a brain tumor which happens to be sitting on her optic nerve so her vision is deteriorating. She started chemotherapy to slow it down about a month ago but has already lost part of her vision permanently. Eva is one of the most caring, thoughtful, courageous, outspoken and loving girls i know and she’s only 9. Her mum, Sel, was diagnosed with severe endometriosis (a painful disease affecting the uterus and ovaries) and has been in and out of hospital. Eva’s dad, Nila, is struggling to pay for carers, hospital bills, surgeries etc. Eva’s family has enough to stress about without adding finance into the equation. 

If you are able, please find it in your heart to donate whatever amount you can to my beautiful niece’s go fund me account linked below and share this post!

There are posts going around showing airlines charging several thousands of dollars for one-way tickets out of Florida and I just want to clear some things up. This was spread around yesterday and is NOT the price the airlines are charging. The image that was spread from Delta was from a third party website and the person who originally posted this image has come out and said everything has been cleared up. I even heard this story on the radio coming home from school so just to clarify:

  • JetBlue is reducing their fares. Remaining seats will be between $99 – $159. 

  • American Airlines is capping the prices at $99. This is for standard cabin fare and means that prices will not exceed this cost. 

  • Delta is capping their prices at $399. This also means that prices will not exceed this cost, however this also includes first class so standard prices will be lower than $399.

Airlines like American and Delta have also added flights and brought in larger planes and waived change fees for passengers who need to cancel or rebook their flights. 

If you still need to get out or were worried about these prices then I hope this clears everything up. Note that flights will start cancelling once it becomes too dangerous for planes to fly so make sure to call ahead and keep checking for updates at your airport. 

Stay safe, everyone.
