08.05.21 | Lovely day courtesy of my awesome therapist and my professor who decided to cancel today’s lecture. The fun thing about being so distracted by summer work is suddenly realizing senior year is literally around the corner and I have zero clue what I’m gonna end up doing when I graduate :) <3

The idea that *any* sexuality doesn’t include trans people is inherently transphobic. Straight? You can be into trans folk. Gay? You can be into trans folk. Bi? Pan? Both include trans people, because we aren’t some other entity that needs a special category for you to be into us. We are our genders.

Please, help me save a life!

Hi, guys.

Sorry for disappearing again, life is hectic now, lots of things are changing. I will adapt, soon, I hope, and will come back to all of you and all of my stories.

But today I came to talk not about that and not even about me.

Today I came here to ask you for help. Please, read this post. It’s super important.

I’ve never asked much from you, I believe. Besides asking to send me some stupid questions or read something I’ve written.

So, I hope it gives me the right to ask you today. I’m asking not for much. Just, please, guys, help me save a life.

This is Sofia Darbinyan. She’s four months old. She’s from my city, from a very good family I know, the youngest of three wonderful girls. She’s only started her life, but, unfortunately, she’s in a big trouble already. Sofia has Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA), it’s a neuromuscular disorder that results in the loss of motor neurons and progressive muscle wasting. Babies with this awful genetic disease usually die at about six months old, as they stop breathing and suffocate.

Several years ago, there was absolutely no treatment and kids were basically left to die. Last year the genetic medicine was produced, tested and licensed. There’s a cure. It’s called Zolgensma. The only problem, it’s the most expensive medicine in the world.

Sofia needs just one shot to keep living almost absolutely normal life. But this shot costs $ 2,125 million.

This is enormous money for one family. In my country some people (a lot of people, to be honest) won’t earn even 10% of this sum in their entire life. It’s almost impossible to get this medicine through our governmental programs, as it’s not licensed officially on the territory of our country. And most of charity funds refused to help due to the high cost of the medicine.

Sofia’s parents are doing everything to get at least some official help and support, but unfortunately, for now, we, usual people, are the only hope they have. The thing that makes it all even worse is that we have less than two months left, Sofia has to get the shot till she’s six months old for it to help her. We’ve collected about $ 140 thousand already, but it’s not enough, of course.

So, today, I’m asking you, please, guys, help me save this little angel.

$ 2 million is an extreme amount of money for one person. But if 1 million people donate $ 2 and 20 cents, it’ll do the trick. In my country it’s a price of a coffee cup. Not that much for one person, right? But more than enough for Sofia to stay alive.

You can get more info on this instagram page https://www.instagram.com/helpsofiadarbinyan (tho it’s all in Russian, but I think instagram can translate it)

The PayPal for donations is paypal.me/vladarbinyan

If you need, I can help you see all the official documents and proof you need.

If you can’t donate money (I do understand that lots of people have lost their jobs and are experiencing hardship rn), please help us with reblogs. It’s extremely important for as many people as possible to find out about Sofia, it’s more important than any fic reblogs, guys.

I see a lot of action happening every day, here on tumblr and outside, in the world. I see people standing by each other during all the madness with COVID-19, I see people protecting each other against discrimination, racism, violence and injustice. People hasn’t invented diseases, but it’s also a problem we have to fight. I believe in people. I believe in 5sos fam. I have seen how powerful we and our small actions are. I’ve seen you guys doing incredible things, like having all this disabledsos marathon or helping clean Michaels name. So, please, help me do one more good thing.

I do believe that kids like that come to this world to help us be better and kinder. And I’m gonna try my hardest to try save this little angel’s life.

Please, guys, I’m begging you, help! Any, even the smallest help matters. Every cent, every reblog, every prayer. Please, please, please. She deserves to live.
