As I just explained in this reblog, I’m trying to find the same toy horses my grandfather gave me a little while before he died. If you’ve already read that whole story, remember the horse a middle school bully stole and melted? The foal in this set was that horse. So, little extra significance there.
If anybody out in the tumblrverse knows where I can get ahold of this set, please let me know. I would be eternally grateful. If you don’t know, but think you have followers who might, I’d appreciate a signal boost.
Hey can anybody help my friend out with this?
Also to reblog it so there can be more people who might be able to help. :)
On Aug. 26, 2007 his mom took a photo of him at 11-months-old, standing on the beach in a green and white shirt, staring into the camera and making a determined little fist. Soon after, the photo morphed into the “Success Kid” meme, and Sam was Internet famous.
There comes a time to admit we need help. But we’ll give you something for helping.
What my fiance said. ^^ Really, we appreciate any help because we’re working our butts off and it’s just not cutting it. And yeah, we will give you cool things for helping. Just… thanks for all the support. I love all my friends. SO much.

My name is Ray. I’m an agender, intersex, multiply disabled survivor of sexual, medical, and emotional abuse. I’m trying to raise money for top surgery.
I can’t pay for surgery on my own and don’t have anyone I can borrow money from. I am still being emotionally abused by my mom, who I live with and am financially dependent on.
Also I am on the autism spectrum and have many conditions keeping me from working: Crohns disease, arthritis, major depression, ADHD, PTSD, brain trauma, an anxiety disorder, chronic daily headache (migraines multiple times a week), PCOS, and multiple pinched nerves in my arms. Basically, I’m in constant pain. I can’t walk and I can’t work and my intenstines and brain and nerves don’t work right.
Cw: breasts, surgery, fatphobia, intersexism, description of medical abuse/malpractice.
In 2012, when I was 19, I had a breast reduction surgery, hoping I could get the size of my chest down from noticeably-really-big to not-so-big. I figured B-cup was small enough that I could bind while big enough to still let me pass as my coercively assigned sex when I needed to.
While I was under, on the table, completely unable to consent, the surgeon decided rather than making me a B-cup as we had discussed, he was going to make me a DD-cup, because it would be “proportional” on my overweight body. I woke up horrified to find myself almost exactly the same size as I was before they cut me open.
After the surgery, I lost almost all feeling in my chest and it has never returned. My dysphoria got twice as bad because of this, because my chest, now numb, literally felt like it wasn’t part of my body.
Over the last 3 years my dysphoria has caused me to have frequent suicidal thoughts, which have despite all kinds of therapy and every kind of antidepressant persisted and are wearing me down.
I need top surgery urgently to get a flat chest. The procedure is called chest masculinizing surgery, although I am intersex and genderless, not masculine, not transgender, not male or “ftm”. I’ve been on testosterone for 8 months now. My voice is low and I have a beard but I am almost always gendered as a gender-non-conforming woman by strangers, which is inaccurate yet still dangerous for me.
If you donate, your money will go toward -surgeon fee -anesthesia fee -the cost of traveling for a week and a half
Most of my depression is because of my chest, so I likely will become radically less depressed when my chest changes. In other words, this surgery might literally be life-saving.
I’ve made a gofundme and a new unshared bank account that I’m keeping secret from my mom, for the purpose of putting in donated money for surgery. The longer I have this account and the longer this post is circulating, the more likely she is to find out, which would be very unsafe for me. Please donate whatever you can, as soon as you can, and please share this on Tumblr if you have one (if you can queue it to be posted at night, when the most people are online, that would be best)
I understand if you cannot spare any money. Even just showing your support by spreading this around will really help.Thank you all for coming through for me.
Love, Ray
P.S. I am also interested in making new friends in California and am looking to hire a caretaker, and breaking out of the abusive dynamic with my mom by expanding my support network. So, if you live on the West Coast, say hi. If you live in San Diego or LA or Santa Cruz, think about filling out the informal application for the job. I might move to LA or south of Santa Cruz soon.
hey, i’m one of the two mods right now. please excuse the long post and blatant self-promotion but i need my gofundme campaign to reach as many people as possible!
Look, I know these posts are typically pretty shady, but please, this is actually pretty close to me, so please boost this.
This is Wyatt West. He was last seen between February 28 and March 3rd
Wyatt was abducted by his biological mother, Josey West, when CPS gave custody of Wyatt to my friend Skylar. Sky has been taking care of Wyatt for basically his entire life; he is her son in pretty much every way.
This is Wyatt with hs biological mother (the lady with the short white hair)
She may have black hair now. She is 5’10 and about 150
pounds – she is in a green pickup truck.
The police are aware of the situation. If you need confirmation that this is real, feel free to contact me.
If you see either of them, call 911 immediately!!!!
Please, please bring Wyatt home!!! Even if you don’t live in the area, I’m begging you, reblog this. Josey has seriously messed up Sky’s life, don’t let her take Wyatt away.
one of the people living in this safehouse full of disabled queer and trans kids is a multiply disabled trans woman whose chronic pain + mental health issues are being made worse by not being able to obtain shoes that don’t make her dysphoric that actually fit her feet. she’s probably about a size 15 in us/au shoes or a european size 49 – if you have or know where to source low, stable heels or boots like doc martens/similar in femme/floral colors and designs in a size that would fit her, please, please let me know. it’s been an impossible search.
price is of course a concern here, but honestly i want her to have shoes more than i want to have money to pay for things, so any recs at all will be helpful (and any donations to my paypal at though.poppies.blow@gmail.com will be as well!)
please boost this! i’m sure someone out there knows something that’ll help us!
I’m a 20 year old
bedbound woman with a spinal injury, and I’ll be evicted on 22nd April 2015 for being
disabled. If I become homeless, my life will be in
danger due to complete inability to sit/walk. I still need more than
$4000 extra in donations to live in private rental for 6 months while
waiting for subsidised housing.
The only landlords who did not reject me on the basis of
disability are renting out private apartments at market rent. Over 6 months,
this totals $4940 to $9490, plus I need to pay a carer ~$4550 to maintain the
property. I will need to prove to the landlord
that I have these savings, which exceeds my current bank balance by $4434.29 to
$8984.29.
I also need a thorough medical diagnosis by 28th
April 2015, which could cost thousands. Past this due date, I will need to
reapply for the disability pension under much tougher new policy. A diagnosis
is also needed for subsidised housing.
I really need your help, if I don’t get my mother out of this house she is going to kill herself. Her mother is so horrible to her and us I cannot cope in this environment for another year. The last one has almost seen me unravel completely. The only house available right now for rent is $400 a week with $1600 bond. We lost our car 6 months ago in a car accident so I have to walk to school. This house is the only thing close enough and not falling to pieces. PLEASE HELP AND REBLOG
So far we’ve raised $165 which is so great but it’s slowed down really quick and I’d really appreciate if you can’t donate to just reblog please we would appreciate it a lot!!
Please read the Fund Description for more details on the situation!
Baby Francis was born four months early, weighing 1lb 11oz. Those are long odds, but xe’s now over three pounds and still growing! Francis has been in the Neonatal ICU for two months so far, and will be there for at least another month. Francis’ parents, Thomas and Octavia, are working hard to afford the basic necessities, and the medical bills are considerable.
