There's so much shit happening but I'll try to be brief.
I'm trans nonbinary, I have two trans kids and my youngest daughter is trans, we've been facing transphobic attacks from my father-in-law which has made our housing situation unsafe.
Aside from that she had a surgery last year but turns out the diagnosis was wrong and the problem is back and worse, she needs another surgery URGENTLY!!! She is in a lot of pain and at risk of urinary, kidney and bladder infections.
I can provide proof with the doctor prescriptions and the surgery papers once we can pay it of course.
We had to find a trans friendly urologist for her safety but it is very VERY expensive :C
We're dealing with unemployment, a house full of mold and rust in the water while fighting with our chronic illnesses and disabling pain while caring for my elderly in-laws and our kids.
My friend and mutual is offering commissions to help us raise funds for the surgery, check it out!!!
PLEASE PLEASE HELP!!!!

Hi, my last post lost traction so I'm making this new post on behalf of my friend Aisha, a young woman living in Palestine.
The overall goal of this fundraiser is to cover the cost of the surgery Aisha's mother, Manal, needed (and was fortunately able to get!!) for the bloody liver cysts she suffered, and to relieve Aisha and her family of the debt they're in because of it.
My original post has more detail on the overall situation.
Right now, the main goal is covering for Manal's medication,
She ran out of meds over two weeks ago!!!
and needs more as soon as possible. On top of money for food and water, the family needs $100 to cover for Manal's medication. This, along with the medication her father takes, will be a monthly need, so ANYTHING you can offer gets them closer to what they need.
I have a list of the meds needed if anyone would like it.
Aisha's original fundraiser is still closed and the organizer hasn't answered any messages from any members of the family yet, so until we find something more convenient, or remake the fundraiser, Aisha's got a kofi. Please please consider donating, every cent is a step closer to safety.
Please remember that anything helps!!!! If you can't donate please please please reblog, even crosspost to another website, share with your friends or your family, whatever you can do, it HELPS!!!
The whole family is tired and drained and in pain and literally ANY help at all would get them closer to what they need to relieve some of that so please please please do whatever you can!!! Donate, reblog, share, even just TALK about Aisha and her family somewhere!!! Spread the word!!! Let others know that they need help!!! Do SOMETHING! Act in some way!
Manal really needs her meds as soon as possible, two are pain meds and the third is somatostatin analog which can cause bad withdrawal effects!!!
Please do whatever you can to help: share, like, reblog, talk, etc. Thank you to everybody who's reblogged so far, please please please if you can, consider donating!!! Anything at all helps get the family food and water, and most importantly right now, meds for Manal!!!
This was the most recent update until now. I covered for the meds and food for a while, but this is a NON STOP NEED. They need medication refills monthly, for both Manal and Aisha's father, and they need money for food and water for the entire family as well.
Anything you can send their way helps miles more than you might think. A dollar or two gets them closer to food and water and their medication. Donations are slow, and few and far between, a single cent is a rarity and if it's one you can provide then please please please consider donating. If you can't donate, please share as much as possible. With friends and family, with strangers online, a reblog, offsite anywhere with anyone. @ your "biggest fan" on the activity tab or something. Anything to get this post anywhere, anything to get anyone to help, in any way. Please.
as a regular donor to Gaza Soup Kitchen I get their email updates, and they said today that while they've continued to be able to expand, donations are slowing down as Gaza gets less coverage. If you have a few dollars to spare, I encourage you to send them here to continue the amazing work that Hani and his team are doing.
I'm Youssef from Gaza, and I'm facing extremely difficult circumstances after my home was destroyed in the war. I have three young children, Lana, Aboud, and Adam, who have been deprived of their right to education and play, and have endured unspeakable hardships.
Now we're living in a tent and facing a severe shortage of basic necessities. I lost my job, and the lack of hope seems to be robbing us of a life of dignity. Amidst this suffering, I've launched a fundraising campaign on GoFundMe, and I need your help to reach my goal.
I'm reaching out to you all and asking for your contribution, even a small amount, whether it's £20, £30, £50, or even £100. Every donation will have a profound impact on our lives and will help us rebuild a better future for my children.
Don't leave our children alone in this ordeal. Every little bit of help will make a big difference.

I am kirsty, I am from England, I met Youssef through volunteer work with Ebon… Kirsty Watson needs your support for Youssef and his family
Hello, I'm Ahmed, 23 years old. I was studying computer science at the Islamic University in Gaza before the war. I aspired to build a brigh
Hello friends, it's me, Ahmed again. I need your help. I almost lost my life last time while looking for work because the place was directly bombed. I'm a university student about to graduate. I lost everything in the war, and I support myself, my younger brother, and my family. I tried to find work, but to no avail. I'm looking for a scholarship to continue my studies. We've been deprived of all our rights. Please don't deprive me of my most basic rights: the right to education, to live, and to eat healthy, good food. I'm searching for a way to support myself. You may not be able to provide financial support, but you can share this. Let's not be a cause of destruction. Please try to support us in any way you can.
My tent is dilapidated and tattered, unfit for human habitation, and extremely hot. I need your help and support.
Hello my friends,My name is Bilal Ahmad.I am reaching out to you as a citizen of Gaza who is suffering from severe injuries and critical health conditions that threaten my life every day. I sustained a serious injury to my eye and urgently need another surgery to save me from the risk of permanent blindness.
In addition, I have a disability in my left hand. Most critically, I suffer from a severe abdominal injury that has greatly damaged my intestines, leaving them unable to function properly. My condition continues to worsen, and the danger to my life increases with each passing day.
Given the current situation in Gaza, it is no longer possible for me to receive the complex medical treatment I urgently need in a safe and complete manner. After God, my only hope is your support and kindness.
I humbly ask for your help. Please be the light of hope that allows me to reach Egypt and receive the medical treatment I desperately need in its hospitals so that I may recover and regain my health.
Please hear my voice and give me a chance to receive treatment and a humanitarian opportunity to pass through. Even a small donation can make a difference and help cover my medical care.
Thank you in advance for your generosity, compassion, and support. I am deeply grateful for any help you can provide.

Still no water and still no nothing, how are we supposed to save for her surgery when everything goes wrong and then I have people accusing me of lying, scamming and making up more stuff just to get attention and get money and I genuinely wished you were here so you could learn what living with mold and rust, with water scarcity, not knowing if you will be able to eat tomorrow, thinking how much you can go without food so your elderly diabetics and your kids can have another bite instead
This is so so much fun, barely eating, shitting and vomiting my gust out, not being able to bring comfort and treatment for my daughter can't fix the mold can't get those phones can't sleep from the stress can't nothing and now AND NOW WE HAVE TO SPEND SOME OF THE MONEY I I AFFORD WATER, BOTTLED WATER JUST TO BE SBLE TO FLUSH THE TOILET OR TAKE A SHOWER OR WASH OR HANDS OR THE DISHES
JAJAJJAJjjJJjs I'm losing it in losing it this sucks so so bad and then I have to beg here desperately for a reblog and nothing nothing nothing what if we just due what if it was just over what if life didn't suck what if we could just have a meal in peace with a clean house without mold what if life was worth living oooooooooooo
i will just call it a day, will try to rest, reassure my daughter that we will make it somehow, that she will live again without pain, this sucks so much
i feel like a fever is coming, been days without a proper meal, everything makes me sick and I don't feel the normal pain but more like a weird pressure..... should I go to the hospital? idk probably but i just can't use the money we have for her surgery maybe i can sleep it off like I've done for months
I should have got new phones and not some old models cause what is this shit??? It will take another 5 days for the refund to come through what a load of shit Dx there's so much we could do with phones
I'll try to keep this as short as possible since the other post got so long (lots of shit going on at once I'm sorry)
Original post
- I'm a disabled parent making $826/mo on SSDI, but I only got $217 of my monthly payment this month due to a Medicare premium that will also take $200 next month – I signed up for a medicare savings program that is supposed to pay it back, but I haven't heard from them yet and I have bills due next week
- I just got hit with an extra $260/mo expense to benefit the man who has spent years harassing and stalking me after physically and sexually abusing the fuck out of me during our relationship; who ran out of his kid's life and never paid child support – $50/week in gas + $15/week visitation fee. (btw for everyone who saw my last donation post – I found out that my ex does in fact pay for $15 of the $30 fee, but i was only able to raise enough for gas last week so today I owe $30 for visitation). *It is literally impossible for me to pay for this.*
- I went through a traumatic situation a couple of months ago; details in the original post but long story short two police officers attempted to murder me in the middle of the highway with oncoming traffic. I have two tickets and I'm trying to fight them in court but they made a loophole where I can't get a public defender so if I can't find a lawyer pro bono I'm SOL if I can't raise the money for one — haven't found one yet, next court date is July 9
- my bf was illegally fired, he got his job back but he lost a week of pay and either way he can't take care of these extra expenses for me due to all the help he's already given me without me being able to pay him back
- my suv still needs the transmission replaced and my partner's family's car I'm borrowing is falling apart; we were able to fix one thing that was causing the borrowed car to break down over and over (still breaks down just not as often) thanks to donations but I have to get my suv from the place it's parked at soon or I'll lose it completely. At this point, it's looking like all I can do for now is get it towed because I've been trying to raise the money to fix it for about 5 months now and every time I'm ready to fix it another expense pops up.
- On top of having to drive down to my hometown every week now, I also have appointments in town, such as a dentist appointment on Tuesday and an appointment to meet with my court appointed GAL the week after that. It costs $50 in gas every time.
- I've been trying to doordash but I'm barely having any luck at all. My earnings average out to $5/hr. I worked 16 hours last week and only got paid for 3 of them. I can't work that much due to chronic pain.
I need as much help as I can get. Please share & donate if possible
.....welp. the thing is expected to happen happened. Lolololol
(Other updates in the notes)
I no longer have an extra $260/mo expense!
.....thanks to my dumbass ex violently threatening the visitation staff after they told him that it was inappropriate to talk to my 11 year old about drugs and ask him questions about my personal life :)))))))
I still need help with everything else, including $160 owed to cashapp. I still have not received that $800 back. I still have to save up for a lawyer as well.
Details under the cut:
I've explained on here a bit about how violent he is. It's why I've had at least 5 restraining orders filed on the dude. He wasn't just physically abusive towards me, he is towards EVERYONE – he has assaulted his friends, his family members, my family members, his BOSS, and even complete strangers, like how he went to prison for two years for "nearly beating a guy to death with a skateboard on the sidewalk" 🙃 the amount of people he's threatened is even more! He can't rent a place because he's tried to threaten landlords into decreasing the rent 🙃🙃🙃🙃
I've had 4 (now 3) ongoing court case against him since he got out of prison in October – a restraining order for me, a petition for a name change for my kid (why did I give him his dad's last name when I only dated him for a few months in high school??), and a restraining order for my kid, which the court decided to turn into a paternity case, because it turns out I didn't have full legal custody like I thought (i was granted full legal custody for a restraining order i filed in 2015; i did not know it was temporary and only lasted for the length of the restraining order.) This court case will allow me permanent full custody and remove ALL legal rights from his father, which will then allow me to change my son's last name without any argument from his sperm donor.
The first judge i saw, for the restraining order, is the one who ordered visitation. He clearly had a father bias, and our guardian ad litem HATES him. Once we got a new judge, the GAL went OFF about how ridiculous it was of the old judge to grant him anything at all after all of the information provided and the situation that arose during our first court date.
Another woman had filed a restraining order on him at the same time as me, so for the first trial, the judge called both of our cases at the same time. Our ex was in jail for the day (idr why) and appeared by video call.
When the judge asked him questions, he would ignore the question and go on to say shit like "man, I was gonna look so hot today if I wasn't here in jail haha! This is sooooo embarrassing. I'm actually a really great person –" and the judge kept having to cut him off to say "Mr. [X]. Mr. [X]. Answer the question or I'll have to hang up on you." Our ex continued to spew nonsense anyway. I had never heard an entire court room laugh at someone before. Eventually, our ex got angry and started lashing out, so the judge had to hang up. He looked at both of us and said "I see why you guys filed these." The entire courtroom ERUPTED into laughter. It was crazy.
And then... during the next trial... he said, for SOME fuckin reason, "well, I don't wanna take a father away from his son, so... I think the last we can do is supervised visitation..."
Well, the court ordered visitation didn't happen for 9 months because my ex never contacted anyone, including the GAL. I thought it wasn't happening, especially since I asked for it NOT to happen. But now I'm living 2 hours away, and I got the phone call on June 11 to let me know it would start a week later, and I had no choice but to pay for the gas there AND the visitation fee.
I said "I give it at maximum 3 visits before his dad fucks it up." I was spot on. (We missed one visit, so the 3rd visit happened last week).
After the visit last week, my kid told me that his dad was acting "really weird and jumpy." Said he didn't make sense with his words at all and kept randomly jumping out of his seat. He asked my kid personal questions about my life, which my kid fortunately knew not to answer. And he randomly told my kid about a "group chat where his friends were bragging about selling drugs to his uncle."
Yesterday, I got a call from the supervisor, and she told me "I have decided to terminate visits." She said that since the visit went so bad last week, she called him yesterday to make sure he would be stable enough for a visit. She said he was hostile, wasn't making sense at all, and eventually tried to threaten her into getting his way, so she told him that they're going to have to stop doing visits. Apparently, he completely lost his shit right before hanging up on him. The supervisor told me that she didn't just think it was unsafe for my child to be around him, but the entire staff felt unsafe with him around.
I was like yeah, this is his normal, unfortunately.
This broke my kid's heart. I fucking told the judge this would happen.
Well, at least this will largely benefit me for all future court cases 🙃
HEY GUESS WHO JUST LOST THE ABILITY TO DO DOORDASH AND NOW HAS MORE CAR REPAIR EXPENSES LOLOLOLOL
(oh yay, my $0-$10/hr a job where 3/4 of the time I don't get any orders at all🫠)
We're down to having only one halfway working vehicle, which my partner has to drive to his job an hour away :))) and the headlights are out on that car, so by the time he gets home, I can't go out and drive it (especially since I already have 2 traffic tickets I'm trying to fight in court) 🙃 not to mention how it's been halfway falling apart for the last 6 months so it could shit out at any moment :))))
Details will be under the cut
Some other updates (many of them are in the notes, but I should've left them on the post):
My bank closed my savings account because I completely drained it due to all the extra fucking expenses I keep getting hit with.
I completely lost my medicaid, so now I owe money for medical bills, and I'm still waiting on that $800 refund from the medicare savings program (if they give it back to me at all, I was actually denied until they found out I lost my savings account, so I had to submit proof of that, and I'm waiting to hear back).
I have extremely important appointments coming up that I cannot pay for, including a dentist appointment to fix the tooth that has chipped nearly halfway off and is starting to hurt really bad.
I was approved for $133 in food stamps, but once it finally came in, there was only $60 on the card. We have 5 people in our household.
I still need help with gas to get to my hometown 2 hours away for appointments
The only reason I've been surviving any of this is because of the donations I've been receiving. However, I haven't been able to make any progress at all on many of these expenses because I've only barely been raising enough money to pay for bills, gas, food, and necessities.
Thank you so, so much to the people who have been helping me out🥹
Now on to explain the car situation:
Last night while I was out driving my partner's car (of course it HAD to be his car), a part fell off of the car in front of me on the highway. There was no way to avoid hitting it, it happened too fast for me to have time to swerve out of the way. It was a large metal part and I hit it HARD. The car was still fine for a little bit, then suddenly all of the lights in the car turned off and the heat started blasting at full power. It was still driving thank fucking god, so I pulled over to re-start the car a few times, but that did nothing to fix it. So I was forced to drive home with the windows down and the heat blasting.
no but really, whenever I start getting suicidal which is almost daily, I just start stacking numbers on how much will it cost my partner and my kids to bury me and then I just carry on
