i dont like to look like im begging for things, but i figured i’d ask anyway. if anybody wants more info on me and my families disabilities message me. my mom and i are both mentally and physically disabled. (she also has life threatening conditions that are killing her over time, i will explain more in private). she needs to be eating healthier foods and i don’t know what to do. my brother and sister are both mentally disabled and my sister is physically disabled as well.
we’re literally starving here. we’ve begged our relatives and have received no help. we used to have food stamps but we no longer receive them. and we’ve tried local churches but nothing. we are trying for disability but that can take a good while to hear back from.
if you could donate anything, it’d be a great help. my paypal email is avatarerin@gmail.com and this is my amazon wishlist
we’re completely broke. we simply have no money for food this month, also thanks to an overdraft fee, we have no money to pay our water bill or electric bill, our water bill is 55 dollars and our electric bill is 250 dollars!!! and so any donations would be greatly appreciated!!!!! if you can’t donate or help, please signal boost!!!! also any donations for food would be greatly appreciated
I feel pretty lame doing this, to be completely honest, but this time things are really just COMPLETELY out of my hands. My partner and I need help and I can only hope that this will somehow be our salvation.
The beautiful blonde you see in the picture is my partner Z. (I’m the tiny one with purple hair) We’ve been together for about 4 years now, and let me tell you, he’s the love of my life.
I found out at some point in our relationship that Z experiences SEVERE gender dysphoria, and more often than not feels like he has the wrong body. While Z is currently unsure whether he’s trans or just genderfluid, we both know for sure that most of the time he doesn’t feel comfortable with the body he has. Z likes to wear feminine clothes and makeup, something that I encourage 100% and am MORE than okay with.
Z lives in with his parents, who are most certainly not the most open minded. They believe that being transgendered is “sinful” and/or “wrong” and are wonderfully vocal about it. His mother, father, and sister are also INCREDIBLY abusive. His confession about having suicidal thoughts was met with anger, because apparently being suicidal means he “doesn’t appreciate” everything his parents do for him.
I’ve failed over and over again to try to save up enough money to move out and start our own life. For those that may not know, I’ve got a plethora of mental disabilities that make trying to live like a normal human being a living nightmare. I have Manic Depression, Generalized Anxiety Disorder, and ADHD, all of the severe end of the spectrum.
Thanks to medication and therapy I have my depression under control, but my Godforsaken ADHD has left me unable to finish school, and any hopes of keeping a job are shattered thanks to my Anxiety.
Its been this way for five years, and every damn time things seem to be looking up, life gives us both another blow to the gut. And its down to the very start all over again. I have no money, no stable income, and no job that I can keep for more than a few months at most, and it makes me feel completely useless as a partner and honestly, as a human being.
The only thing I know how to do is draw.
I’m ashamed to be asking for handouts. I already feel like enough of a low life to be asking for donations if I haven’t done anything to earn them. So I’m going to offer every single person who donates to us a full color commission, regardless of the size of their donation. It could be a dollar or a penny for all I care.
I’m just desperate to get us out of this miserable situation we’re in.
Please don’t feel pressured to donate to us or even reblog this, just know that I appreciate every single kind word, supportive gesture, or kind message that comes our way.
Officially at my lowest low. The kids and I are in a homeless shelter. I am not in the mood to make a long post honestly I feel pathetic. Please donate if you can. This isn’t where I wanna be. I can go into the program they offer without having cash aid which can take months and months to get. I’m still going to apply but I’ll need help in the meantime. If you can, please please donate. https://www.youcaring.com/evea-king-430790
The important information here is that I need money to keep myself and my wife alive, and you can donate either through the donate button on my blog (which Paypal takes a cut from for using their button), or else by sending money directly through Paypal to mrsmctanuki@gmail.com
The less important details are that I am a (newly non-homeless!^^), physically and mentally disabled trans woman with a stroke condition (afaik, it doesn’t have a name; it killed my grandmother 4 years ago, it is killing my mother right now, and if I’m lucky, it’s going to be the thing that kills me). I was getting $148 a month from Washington State to pay for everything (plus a bit over $150 in food stamps), but even that small amount will soon be gone due to some fucking reason or other I’m trying to fight. I have Medicaid, but they specifically do not cover Schedule 1 medications, such as the ones I take to keep myself from stroking out again (I’ve already had a stroke, 4 years ago, which left me permanently blind on the left side). On August 9th, I was bashed by police for being trans, which left my already-broken back in much worse condition, gave me severe PTSD symptoms (I already have PTSD, I just have new horrors to relive now), and left me and my wife homeless for over a month. During that time, I made ends meet through sex work. You can read the full story of my assault and subsequent treatment at the hospital here.
My wife is also disabled. Despite this, we are trying to find jobs (even though I am, as history has shown, utterly unemployable in any legal field), but there are as yet none to be had. I need donations, from you, the person reading this. I currently have $0.32, and food stamps are now gone for the month (until the 7th of next month, actually). A dollar, 10 cents, whatever you can spare, it’s a literal life-saver.
People call me an e-beggar because I need money. Well, yeah, I am literally begging you not to let me die. Donate, reblog, write your congresspeople, do anything you can, because despite my frequent suicidal urges, I don’t want to die.
mum and I have only £8000 to live on. I seriously need help with this.
Someone has stolen my bank card and book so we’re living on a thin edge
right now wondering if I even have any money left myself.
the
anxiety is making me sick and she is already in poor health herself from
the constant hospital trips and her life-long illness of lymphoedema. I
have mental health issues that mean I can’t work, I am constantly
having emotional break downs right now.
on a serious note, i had
to stop my last journal about commissions because a problematic person
was snooping through my page after endangering some of my friends, but
this is a risk i now have to take because i can’t allow things to get
any worse.
i’m charging even less, now, at £15 for a simple coloured/shaded image with transparent bg.
i’ll draw: – creatures – simple non-mecha/non-humanoid digimon – pokemon/fakemon – orikero – sonic fcs – make a character for you based on a description you give
if
you can’t spare £15 then please advertise this journal for me. i have
examples of various different art styles in my gallery, except paint-y
because there just is no time to take on orders for that style because
it takes too much time that i don’t have.
if you do want to
commission me it must be in GBP/real money and not points. we need this
for our bills and food, my mum is diabetic so she can not afford to skip
meals at risk of buggering up her blood sugar and endangering herself.
Philadelphia homicide Capt. James Clark told the Philadelphia Inquirer that Jenkins, 22, exited a car moments prior to her murder. Once out of the car, the group surrounded Jenkins and when she fell to the ground during the assault, they was shot twice in the back. Jenkins is the second transgender woman to be killed in Philadelphia this year and the 21st in the U.S. This is a dire problem, and as Laverne Cox recently said, fixing it starts with representation.
Guys, it’s getting down to the wire. The bank takes full possession of the house on the 10th of October. Our landlord had to audacity to ask for rent when she STILL hasn’t told us about the foreclosure! We were served by the sheriff in late September. Either way, we’re facing sudden eviction. To move, we need at least a grand. We’ve collected about 500$ so far, but it’s not going to be enough to cover first months rent and deposit no matter where we move.
My sister has COPD and works full time, my partner works 40 hrs a week+, my elderly mom and I are disabled, and we have 2 children with us (6 and 11 years old). I’m my mom and the kids caretaker, and to split us up would be detrimental to my mom’s health.
These are my nieces:
If we cannot find a home, it WILL split our family up.
This is my mom to the left of me. She’s a 64 year old woman of color and worked as a maid from the time she was 12 until she was in her 50′s. She’s a widow. She has several debilitating illnesses that are life threatening. She’s a cancer survivor, as well as a survivor of domestic abuse. She’s never had a stable home in her life. She has worked very hard to keep her family together.
We are desperate. Please help us, donate anything you can, a penny, a dime, ANYTHING makes a difference in finding us a safe, stable home.
I do tarot readings and dream interpretations, as well as writing spells and drawing sigils. Send me an ask and I’ll get right on your request.
Because my mom is an absolute garbage can, she wrote that contract up today and gave it to me.
If you’ve been following me for long enough, you know that the letter may seem helpful or innocent, but my mother is actually Satan reincarnate and has absolutely no regard for my well-being whatsoever. Her doing this is just another passive aggressive statement. This woman has made the past 18 (almost 19) years of my life a living hell and I want to leave as soon as I possibly can, preferably before December because I don’t want to humor her or give her a single penny of my earnings because she doesn’t deserve it.
If I find a job, or at least have some money to support myself until I do, I might be able to move in with my Aunt.
(Also, that savings thing is complete bullshit, I know she’s just gonna spend the money on stuff for her. ((and I can save my own money?????)) She’s also constantly stealing money from my sister for no reason.)
I have been trying for MONTHS (since I graduated in May) to get a job, but to no avail. My mental health makes it incredibly hard for me to find work, but I’m trying as hard as I can. It also gets incredibly discouraging when there have been 3 instances where I have almost had a job (one instance where I was actually told I was hired and then never received a call back?) only for something to happen and send me back to square one.
So, in the mean time, I still have commissions open!! I raised the prices a little due to the urgency, but I hope you can understand. If you want any more art examples, you can check out my art tag (all my art is tagged as “art tag”).
If you would like to donate to me at all, my Paypal is 72gigabytes@gmail.com. Every penny helps.
(If you send money via friends and family, Paypal won’t charge me a fee, so I would recommend doing that so I get the full amount of your donation.)
If you can’t donate or buy a commission, if you could pass this along I would be eternally grateful…
McDole sits at a unique intersection often ignored in the conversation on police brutality: violence against people who are potentially suffering through a mental illness and those who are a living with a physical disability. He also is one on a growing list of people who the police were originally called out to help, but instead were killed (like James Anderson several days later). These victims of state violence are often the most convenient to label as worthy of lethal force, as many do in fact have a weapon. However, even when police are aware of the potential mental state of these citizens, they do nothing to adjust their approach/tactics. In essence, people like McDole are doubly pathologized, not just for being black but for also being sick. More must be done to uplift the stories of Tanisha Anderson, Janisha Fonville, Lavall Hall, James Anderson, and countless others who have been stolen from us. Rest in Power. We fight for you now too. #staywoke #farfromover
