Holy crap! @JoParkerBear 's #fundraiser for her vulnerable, long-time family friend has catapulted to $4075 out of $6000 today!! There had already been some significant progress today capped by a stunning $1K donation just in the past few minutes, officially placing this #gofundme at more than 2/3rds of the way to the goal.
Hey Fedi friends! It's the end of the month again which means it's time for a new mutual aid request. (This ended up being a little longer than I expected but bare with me! CashApp & PayPal links at the end! :floof_Heart:)
To try and keep this short and since many of the folks who have known me or seen me around the Fediverse know or have an idea of what the current situation is like.
I'm a minor with no source of income outside of coding which does not bring nearly enough in for me to even buy lunch most months so I have to resort to mutual aids or theft (Which got me in a lot of legal trouble, but fuck the corporates.). I need at least enough fundings to support me (Age 16, turning 17 this year) and my younger sibling (age 15).
I am a high school student living in a crappy situation with divorced parents. Where one house, the main house, I am refused basic needs such as, but not limited to, food, water, hygiene, clothing, proper medical care, etc. While the other house, my mothers, is a hoarder mess with little to no food, and when there is non expired food that has not been gotten into by animals, months, mold, maggots, etc, it is often times one of the following: Chocolate, cookies, Twinkies, hostess foods, etc. My mother hoards much more than just garbage but indeed, animals also. (With over 70 animals in the house and dogs who are not potty trained along with more animals, outside of the house).
Neither houses include proper medical care. I have a chronic skin disease that causes me severe pain and if it gets bad enough, it becomes an open wound that tunnels often times on my chest or on my legs. My parents do not supply the proper medications I need for these, and when asked or mentioned needing the medications, I get told "Get a job". (Which I am also not allowed to have.)
I'm constantly at risk of being kicked out of the house at any time without warning, a couple of months ago I was locked out of the house in regards to being trans and using my chosen name tho thankfully this was after a school play and I had a safe place at the time.
CPS does not listen. The cops do not listen. I cannot speak up about any of these issues even to trusted adults as this causes more issues at home and gets CPS involved.
Cost breakdowns for the month! Any extra fundings will be put towards getting my parrot a new urn (His last one unfortunately broke).
MEDICATIONS: $50 (4x meds for chronic disease (3 prescription + 1 one reg), anxiety/insomnia meds, pain killers)
CAT FOOD: $20
TOTAL: $500
NOT URGENT BUT STILL NEEDED: I will be doing commissions in regards to funding for this stuff, it might take a little bit but I'll do it o7
URN REPLACEMENT: $160 (I know this is expensive but it was the cheapest urn I could find that was made with a decent quality that would work better for traveling with him, as this bird means a lot to me, even in death. If you've known or seen me around within my past year and a half ish on Fedi you'd know how much my beloved Leo was worth to me<3)
(We attempted to fix the urn but it didn't work very well as it proceeded to keep breaking and at this point it's cheaper just to replace it)
LAPTOP FIX: $20
(Keyboard had an incident where one of the keys broke and need to be replaced, this was a rough estimate on the price it should cost from a friend. - The laptop doesn't have a warranty 😹 but I need this for personal use + school + studies)
Currently, my family has zero. We are absolutely broke and need help picking mine, my mother and my brother's meds, as well as any food to last till next week, when we get paid. We didn't get paid last month, either, so we've spent any money we do have on bills this month entirely.
We haven't eaten in almost 3 days now and are trying to get by. Anything helps. Thank you for reading. @mutualaid@MutualAidVisibility
Trying to get $80 for a family of 5 that hasn't eaten in 2 days and can't eat till next week otherwise. I can send $100 back next week. #MutualAid#MutualAidRequest
My family is living day-by-day until we get paid because we didn't get paid last month at all. We're trying to recover from that, and as such, have nothing to eat at the end of this month quite literally.
We're all hungry and anything helps. Thank you for reading, and I hope you're doing well. 💞 @mutualaid

Please Help me save my life’s work from my former gallery in New York!
My former gallery is refusing to safely return my artwork to me here in Germany, after they stopped representing me. It’s almost all the artwork I have made through my entire life as an artist, 138 pieces of art that represent my artistic journey through the last 25 years. I have been desperately fighting to get my work back for over a year now.
the funding is stalling a bit at 2/3 of the way.
Received: €4,329
Needed: €2,371
Please Boost, it would be amazing and if you are able to afford it, that would be amazing too :-) any help would be much appreciated!
Thank you so so so much!
Please Boost
Received: €4,203
Needed: €2,497
Hoping for a bit of Holiday generosity if you can help. With lots and lots of help 2/3 of the way done. Unfortunately, I need the full amount to be able to save my life’s work by bringing it finally back home safely. https://www.gofundme.com/f/help-yishay-save-her-lifes-work
