Mini Update from Maha:

Under the constant strain of over 110 degree heat (44 Celsius), Maha’s electricity exploded.

Thankfully because of the donation you guys helped for she is able to survive. She was able to get a place to stay the night that had working electricity AND was able afford to fix her electricity!

In total, it costed her about $175

“I wanted to say I am so thankful for you all because I would have been dead because of that”

URGENT MEDICAL CARE!!!

Hola, soy Calli, I'm a nonbinary mexican parent, my family of 9 depends heavily on how good I communicate here and make these posts.

Our last post here for transparency's sake.

We need urgent help so we can afford to see a doctor ASAP, our 4 kids are sick with flu-like symptoms while my mother-in-law, a diabetic, is still recovering from a hysterectomy from September 11th. We can't risk her getting sick.

I can use my healthcare for myself but can't extend it to others. I still need help affording the ride to my clinic and back home. They're always short on medication so I always have to pay out of pocket.

It would be ideal to get a new bed since we've been all taking turns to sleep on the only one we have which has helped spread sickness right now and get more facemasks to help protect my MiL.

If you want more details you can ask me through my DM's or backtrack on my posts, that's why I link them, I try to be as transparent as possible. Any advice you have from a country outside of México won't apply to us, thank you.

$100/$500

Paypal Kofi

Any extra will be used to get me the dental care I need so I can finally stop having this tooth, jaw, neck and ear pain and if there's anything left we will get a new bed to keep my MiL safe.

Thank you.

My partner is scrambling to get a ride to a hospital or something, my son has lost all color, his nails are blue, he has a very high fever

I DONT KNOW HOW THE FUCK ELSE TO FUCKING ASK WE'VE GOT NOTHING AND MY KIDS ARE SICK

We need a HOSPITAL FUCKING NOW

Por favor

Por favor

Por favor

Por favor

Estoy de rodillas ya no se que decir maldita sea

[chingaderita]

We got some money I hope it's enough to get my children to the doctor, my part and me will have to wait since we're also feverish and in also losing my voice to a very sore throat.

$318/$700

Upping the goal so we can get my partner treatment and I can go to my clinic to get me checked too.

[chingaderita]

We're very sick, last night we went to 3 different clinics, the first one denied treatment because they said, and I quote "your kids need to get evaluation from a pediatrician", the second clinic have my daughter her first transphobic experience, the third did not have a pediatrician but a doctor did check them as they were feverish and he saw us desperate.

He asked us to get them labs: blood tests, COVID test and some special tests for my 11yo due to his allergy history.

We had to pull another all nighter to get their fever down, my 8yo almost lost all ability to breathe due to his constipated nose and coughing flems(?).

It's been real hard, between all the taxis we depleted all we had, we need between $300-$350 just for all the labs they need and the bus/taxi fare.

Not to mention there's already 7 of us sick.

$65/$350 labs

$318/$750

Everything is to cover medical appointments, groceries and all we need to get our kids back to health.

[chingaderita]

As of September 23rd we still need help and we've been all sick without any treatment a side from ginger and lemon tea.

We have coughing fits so bad we throw up or even spit blood, it's so painful to see my kids like that.

Please, any $$ and reblogs helps.

On my knees!!!🙇🙇🙇🙇🙇

Please help my friend be able to prevent a gas shut off so they can grieve for their mother’s death in peace. Thank you. 🫂

My QTBIPOC friend with chronic illness is being demanded to pay their spire gas bill. They need extra advocacy desperately for $1535. And maybe people wont care because suffering is desensitized but they really really need to rest this week… today’s their mom’s bday and 7 days later she died, 14 yrs ago.

They got a call from spire demanding the payment today and a shut off will happen soon. Plus they need to be able to focus on themselves as the chronic pain has only increased and they are in need of medical attention asap. They try to post but it’s just never enough, please help however you can and spread the word!
