Yesterday was the worst day of my life. My family and I had a devastating house fire and we lost my beautiful bulldog, Rollie. She was my baby and my best friend and I’m completely heartbroken over it 🐶💔 Our house is ruined by the fire and everything is black and covered in soot. We’re currently living in a hotel. My mom’s friend was nice enough to make us a gofundme page. If anyone wants to donate, here is the link
Thank you,
C
Omg thank you so much to everyone who has donated and for all the kind words! Everything is going towards our hotel fee and just rebuilding our lives. We cannot thank you enough!

I absolutely loathe having to do this, but I need some help dear followers.
My state took away my food stamps, and they won’t reinstate them until I get approval from a psychologist that I am mentally unfit to work, but the nearest appointment I could get is two months away. I’m unemployed currently because of my mental health (chronic depression and generalized anxiety disorder), and the money I do have is starting to run low. I’m exceptionally lucky in that I don’t have to pay rent (I live with siblings who are being amazing and covering it for me) but I do need money for food and necessities.
If you have even $5 to spare and can throw it my way via my paypal, it would be such a big help to me. There isn’t much I can give in return, but if you’re in any of the fandoms I’m in and want to request fic, I can write you something.
My paypal email is: Thebiggestlie86@gmail.com
Lisa’s a really good friend of mine, so if you have any $$ to spare, please send some her way.

Diabetes Patients Are Losing Limbs And Sight Because They Can’t Afford Insulin
More on skyrocketing drug costs in the United States
“A medical professor who has tracked the cost of insulin over the
years says that a one-month supply of a popular version that cost $45
wholesale in 2001 cost $1,447 14 years later, an increase of almost
3,000%. That’s the wholesale price, not the retail price that an
uninsured patient would pay.“Yeah, that’s messed up.
Wow, it’s really rare I see something cross my dash that’s actually directly tied to my life on a personal level, but yea, I’m Diabetic Type 1 and this is a problem.
I’ve been off insurance for the last three or so years and have been working around through channel I can to continue to obtain insulin and supplies for my insulin pump (of which is currently a problem, fun) for free or at reduced costs.
The Lilly Cares program is one I heavily endorse if your insulin is a Lilly product. They’ve been incredibly helpful to me.
Please spread the word on this. There are a lot of young Diabetics like myself that do not have a support system, do not have insurance, and do not have jobs. Insulin is literally a life-sustaining medication for T1 Diabetics. Please do not just ignore this.
T1 diagnosed over 20 years ago here. Back when I was out of work in 2009 I contacted Lilly Cares and I swear I would not be alive if not for that program. T1s need insulin to live. Daily. Our bodies do not produce the hormone because our immune systems backfired and killed our pancreas’ islet cells.
These days one bottle of insulin costs me approx $600 (before insurance) and lasts 2-3 weeks, tops. Less than ten years ago the cost was closer to $200/bottle. The insulin manufacturers keep “tweaking” insulins like Humalog so the patents can be extended(*), so we don’t even have access to a generic option.
The price gouging on insulin in this country is cruel and damn disgusting.
Please, please boost this info. It WILL save lives.
(*) a fact that even my endocrinologist has confirmed!
Lilly Cares saved my husband’s life when he had no prescription drug coverage. Please, please utilize this program if you can. It’s wonderful.

hey, i really hate doing this but im in a really rough situation right now.
for starters, i’m a gay schizophrenic indigenous artist living in canada, and i just moved out of an unhealthy home situation and into my own apartment earlier this year. that was a really big deal for me, and since then i’ve been doing a lot better and finally starting to get my mental health under control.
unfortunately my apartment flooded over christmas while I was away, and my homophobic landlord is trying to evict me and my roommate by saying that we caused the flooding (even though neither of us were there, there was only damage to our belongings and none to the apartment, and we called in a contractor to confirm it was just a pipe that burst because of the cold). i’ve talked to a lot of people about this, and it’s clear he’s just trying to get us out of the building.
we’ve had issues with him since we moved in, from him not returning our phone calls to him coming in to the apartment illegally and spraying insecticide in our living room while me and my partner were asleep in the next room. even if the eviction isn’t successful, it’s looking like we’re still going to have to look for somewhere new to live – he’s been coming into the apartment without our consent, screaming at us, saying discriminatory things and threatening us, as well as lowering the heat in the apartment below legal levels (we live in toronto and its been -20 outside some days). i’ve had to move my pets to a friend’s house because we didn’t think they were safe in the apartment, and i’ve been sleeping on their couch.
i’ve been homeless before and it was a really traumatic time in my life, so i’m trying to do everything i can to get into a stable living situation again. i’m working full time hours and trying to get on disability, but with all the stuff that’s been happening most of my money has been going to incidental expenses, making it really hard for me to save anything for the cost of living let alone the surgery i have to pay for in a couple months. i’ve really been trying to keep my head above water here, but it’s really overwhelming and i don’t know how to deal with this on my own.
if you have any cash you’re willing to throw my way right now, it would help me out a lot. my paypal is jamesdorianwaters@gmail.com (that email works for etransfer as well), and you can also buy my zine for pay what you can (cw for gore), or donate to my surgery fundraiser if you’d prefer. i know there are tons of posts like these going around and a lot of people who need help, but i don’t really know what else to do right now. thank you so much for taking the time to read this, and it would mean a lot to me if you could reblog this so other people can see it.
