hiiii carats! i am raffling off a bunch of seventeen goodies to raise money for @kimhojin <3 rin has been going through chemo which has caused her some pretty painful side effects that she now requires medication to deal with, which isnt cheap. she is selling some of her merch if you are interested but absolutely nobody should have to sell their things to be without pain so my hope is to lift that burden.
last time we all pitched in for rin we were able to raise a pretty significant amount in sticker sales. i'm hoping we can pool a good little bit for her again so she doesn't have to worry about this for a while. id like to leave her w as little on her plate as possible
so!! here is the deal. $1 = 1 entry. the more entries you purchase, the more likely you are to win a prize! every dollar over $10 will also gain you an additional entry, so if you donate $5, your name goes in five times... but if you donate $10, it goes in twenty!
you can donate either via my kofi OR you can donate directly to rin's paypal, just screenshot your payment and send me a pm here on tumblr so i can jot you down! (or you can make a note of who you are on here in the payment notes, but the first option is easier !)
that said, here's whats up for raffle :3 keep in mind international shipping is available so you don't miss out if youre not within the us!
one seventeenth heaven album + all inclusions + signed postcard (you choose whose signature it has)
three hand crocheted miniteen keychains
three seungcherry fanmade merch kits (see what's inside below)
i will cover shipping for the album and the keychains. i will cover domestic (within the continental us) and half of international shipping for the kits, meaning you will be responsible for the other half if youre outside of the states.
this will be open until march first, after which i'll draw the winners. i will be able to ship the album out from the seller instantly, however the other two items will have a turnaround time of a few weeks.

Hello my dear friends👋🏼,I hope you are all well.❤️
The situation is getting tougher due to the ongoing war. I miss my homeland and family dearly, as many of them are still suffering from difficulties there.😔
I have set a small but urgent goal to help support my loved ones. The goal is $7,000, and with your help, I hope to reach it as soon as possible. Every contribution matters, no matter how small.🙏🏼
Please donate what you can.
Is there anyone who can donate $100 or less to help save my family?🥺
Together, we can make a difference in these tough times.💚🖤🤍❤️

People claiming it’s not okay to criticize israel around october 6th/7th because it’s a sensitive time (you sound like people who consider 9/11 a borderline sacred holiday btw) for Palestinians that is every day. You understand that right. Not only did october 7th ruin many of THEIR lives as well every single day is a day they lose hundreds of lives. Every single day they are hit with terror attacks from the idf. Every day is their occupation. They don’t even get an anniversary or a day or minute of mourning or acknowledgement
