This is my daughter Lucy. She’s currently 10 years old, we were told she had an aggressive brain tumour and had weeks to months to live. She was diagnosed and had a shunt placed shortly, and began radiation therapy. She’s a warrior and is fighting her way through this with everything her little body has. We have had some amazing support from a range of charities since she was diagnosed . Suddenly the help reduced drastically and that is why we have to seek for a public help which lead us to gofundme . Please take the time to have a look. Every single penny is needed to help support us

im so so so stressed rn. money is so scary for me and I work at a school so I only get paid once a month at the end of September but my pets need to go to the vet (my dog has an eye ulcer and could lose his vision & my kitten has worms) and it’s going to be like 400 bucks that I don’t have on top of bills and I just want to cry this pandemic has literally done nothing but fuck me up mentally and messed up all my opportunities i hate it so much
I hate to ask for any money but rn I have no choice because my pets are my entire world but I don’t have the money for their vet appointments. If my dog goes blind I won’t forgive myself especially if it’s preventable. This is his first vet emergency in his whole life and he’s so terrified and I can’t do anything besides just comfort him and it’s tearing me up. I barely have money for bills because I don’t get paid till the end of September since I’m a school employee and we just started the school year & my part time unemployment is frozen due to someone trying to steal my SSN. I appreciate anyone and everyone for even reading this. I am thankful to anyone who even donated a dollar.
My ko-fi is in my bio and my PayPal is here
Update: shortys appointment was yesterday and he’s looking better but when the techs gave me the original quote they said the appt would only be 200 but forgot to tell me that I would be charged for the dye they use to determine the size and depth of the ulcer which was 60 dollars so I had to dip into other funds. Also he has vaccines coming up next month so I would just need about 150 to cover the extra money + vaccine costs!
petition-please help UK trans people!
hi tumblr-the conservative party is back at it again.
currently, the GRA (gender recognition act) says to transition “legally”, trans people have to:
get two diagnoses of gender dysphoria (including one from an NHS gender clinic, which have a 2-3 year wait time currently),
prove you have lived as your chosen gender for 2 years,
swear to live the remainder of your life as such
and do all of this in front of a “gender recognition panel”, a process which is very humiliating and largely depends on people deciding if you are “trans enough”.
in 2018, the idea was put on the table to progress the rights of transgender people in the UK. Including:
allowing them to self identify as their chosen gender (including 16 & 17 year olds, who have previously been denied the right to)
demedicalising the transition progress, no doctors would need to diagnose gender dysphoria to transition.
removing the cost to have your gender legally recognised
allow non-binary identities to be recognised
it has recently been leaked that the current government has scrapped these ideas [source source]. Our equality minister, Liz Truss, is horribly transphobic and wishes to backpedal on the few rights we have.
trans people have said for years that the GRA is outdated and in need of reform, and have had the tiny ray of hope that it may be changed ripped out from under us behind closed doors.
petitions on the parliament website are legally obligated to be responded to at 10k signatures and have to be debated in parliament at 100k signatures.

hi friends! I hope you’re all staying safe!
I’m a disabled WOC desperately asking for your help to raise funds for a surgery that I desperately need.
This is a donation post I had before that shows some proof & i have added photos of my first laparoscopic surgery.
This surgery would greatly improve the quality of my life... Right now I’m in so much pain that I can barely walk without support and I experience this excruciating pain every single day.
The surgery is a laparoscopic surgery that would remove growths (due to endometriosis) and would decrease my pain levels SIGNIFICANTLY.
The surgery costs 15,000 USD...
Here are the ways you can donate:
Cashapp ($emmar0seg)
Venmo (@emmar0seg)
PayPal
Gofundme (same gofundme as I used for previous donation posts so my hep c is mentioned but I have to put that on pause for right now...)
Ko-fi (I will be adding writing commissions)
Also: @breakingfree has so very kindly offered to do drawing commissions for you all simply for donating to help fund my surgery!! (any amount counts)
(@breakingfree added limits/guidelines; below is a screenshot of those & here are some examples of the type of artwork he could draw for you if you can donate!!)
Please consider donating if you can... I’m so terrified I won’t have enough money for this surgery that would help me so much.. and I’m asking you for your help if you are able... if you can’t donate, please consider reblogging/signal boosting this to get the word out.
Right now I have saved:
1,600/15,000
Update! September 10th, 2020
At the time of writing this, I have
$1,7023/$13,000 raised for surgery
my goal is now 13,000 because I finally got to speak to Dr. Mackenzie. (my specialist)
I found out it will cost 13 thousand instead of 15, which is good news... BUT
I still need $11,000 dollars for surgery
I got more news... it’s not really good but I guess it’s not definitely awful either, at least I hope... I got an answer about if I could put some of the money down & make payments after the surgery or if I need all of it at the time of the surgery...
I need the ENTIRE $13,000 upfront.. or unfortunately, no surgery... I guess it’s so the hospital can ensure that I’ll pay & not skip out on the bill after surgery.
I need your help. This is urgent...
I have more kinda good news! I checked my patient portal this morning & my surgery date changed to May 13th! It was previously booked in June, so I got moved up about a month! (I said that it was scheduled for June on my last update, but I decided I’d reblog this with my update rather than my last reblog to keep it from getting too long!) AND there’s still a chance I can be moved up even sooner!! I’m praying it does but at the same time, I kinda hope it doesn’t...
I’m just so worried I won’t raise the funds I need.. it’s a lot.. and I only have til May and I know it seems like a good amount of time but donations have slowed down a lot & time has been going by quick...I’m so damn terrified that I won’t be able to afford this surgery..
American healthcare is so unfair, so expensive.. just so wrong.
Please keep reblogging, signal boosting... If you can, please consider donating. If you can’t, please reblog.
Cat just got sicker and we need help fast. Cw for descriptions of her symptoms and illness
Princess is around 10 and was abandoned with me when she was around 3. She’s had tons of health issues over the years and I’ve taken out loans and gone into debt for her, fed her though a neck tube for a month, given her so many medications.
Currently she’s on meds for hyperthyroidism, but she has an unknown sinus issue that was being treated as an infection with no relief in symptoms. Her left eye is always teary, her left nostril always runny or clogged, and she has bad sneezing fits. She hasn’t been eating any cat food over the last two days, only human baby food.
She just had some kind of seizure. I went to check on my girlfriend and her out on the balcony, as as soon as I got there she stood up, lifted her front left leg all the way up, stumbled then lifted her back left leg. She got really stiff and weird for a bit. I didn’t know what to do so I just picked her up and cried. She eventually relaxed and is walking fine now but something’s clearly wrong and we need to get her seen ASAP.
The vet we go to is $80 to get seen, then additional fees for tests and medications. I have no clue what we’re looking at, but I’m gonna aim for $300 since that’s the most expensive fee we’ve had for her so far.
If you can help, my paypal is paypal.me/fuzzcheeks and my cashapp is $fuzzcheeks. I’ll post proof of her visit and how much the bill ends up being. If you are familiar with my art and wanna commission me, please dm me.
Please reblog if you can
Jacob Blake’s sister: ‘I’m not sad. I’m not sorry. I’m angry. And I’m tired. I haven’t cried one time. I stopped crying years ago. I am numb. I have been watching police murder people that look like me for years.’
Required watching.
[I am my brother’s keeper, and when you say the name Jacob Blake, make sure you say “father,” make sure you say “cousin,” make sure you say “son,” make sure you say “uncle,” but most importantly, make sure you say “human.” Human life. Let it marinate–in your mouth, in your mind. A human life, just like every single one of y’all… We’re human. His life matters. So many people have reached out to me telling me they’re sorry that this happened to my family. Well don’t be sorry, because this has been happening to my family for a long time. Longer than I can account for. It happened to Emmett Till. Emmett Till is my family. Philando. Mike Brown. Sandra. This has been happening to my family. And I’ve shed tears for every single one that it’s happened to. This is nothing new. I’m not sad. I’m not sorry. I’m angry. And I’m tired. I haven’t cried one time. I stopped crying years ago. I am numb. I have been watching police murder people that look like me for years. I’m also a Black history minor. So, not only have I been watching it in the thirty years I’ve been on this planet, but I’ve been watching it for years before we were even alive. I’m not sad. I don’t want your pity. I want change.]

TLDR: My abusive home situation is forcing me, my sister, and our 2 dogs out and we need to find a permanent place to live. If you are willing to donate, I have a Paypal, a Ko-fi, and I will still be sending out shop orders, which is my primary source of income. I’m hesitant to make this post as I have been trying very hard to keep my private life separate from my online presence, but recently the situation has become somewhat desperate. My abusive home situation has gotten increasingly worse this year, especially in the past few months, to the point where my sister and I feel it is no longer safe to stay there. Our abuser has threatened multiple times to harm/kill us and has made it clear that we are not welcome. As we don’t have another place of residence, we are currently staying in an Airbnb with our 2 dogs using my savings to give us some buffer time until we can figure out a more permanent living situation. For this reason, I have finally opened a Ko-fi where you can support me and my art if you are able to! Any amount helps, and anything I get from Ko-fi will go towards my living expenses/rent until my sister and I are situated. If you would prefer to donate directly via Paypal, I also have a link to that here. My Paypal email is [email protected]. I’m sorry that I cannot offer any kind of compensation for donations, but if you would like something in return, purchasing anything from my shop is a huge help and a great way to support my sister and I, especially this year when we don’t have any conventions we can rely on. Orders may take longer for us to process as we move our inventory over to a new place, but we will still be shipping. I tried to keep this to essential details only, especially because it is hard for me to open up abut my private life. I am 19 yrs old, chronically ill and suffer from chronic fatigue that can be debilitating on some days. The additional stress has only worsened my condition making it difficult for me to create art or stay active on social media, both of which are essential to my full time job. Despite this I want to continue to create, and have been to the best of my ability while I am in this Airbnb. This is a really rocky transition for me, but I’m determined to not let it continue to set me back, so I will make and post art when I can!! I’ll update this post with reblogs if the situation changes, and thank you if you read this far!
Russia is trying to ban legal transition for trans people
Elena Mizulina put forward a bill, that basically bans legal transition. It includes:
Adding the “sex” graph to the birth certificate. That graph cannot be changed in any way, and you also can’t get a new passport because of that.
banning (again) same-sex marriage, but now it is made based on the birth certificate so trans people cannot marry their loved ones.
banning the right to adopt children for the trans people
and WORSE, ALL THE CHANGES MADE IN THE PAST WILL BE DECLINED. People will get their old birth certificates back. the existing marriages will be no longer legal. And I don’t even want to think what will happen to the already adopted children of transgender parents
People are scared as fuck. I see lots of panic in russian social media and also on Twitter. They made a hashtag #ProtectRussianTransLives, so you can check it out for more info. And yeah, people started protesting.
The protest hasn’t even started properly. The police detained all of them, called them slurs, misgendered them, asked about genitals. Those pigs arrested two women - Mila Zemtsova and Polina Symonenko
Mila is a journalist who came there with a license. The police immediately arrested her for the organization (!) of the protest which is absolute nonsense. They kept her in the police department for more than 48 hours and took away her phone. She got a fine for nothing.
(translation: I want to not be afraid to show my passport)
Polina’s case is worse. She was arrested for repeated violation of the procedure for holding a public action (hope I wrote it right). Polina was also kept in the department for 48+ hours (it is illegal), misgendered and deadnamed. She was beaten in the court for taking a legal break. They gave her 14 days in a men’s prison.
This is hell. Please spread this post. People must know about this.
If you are from Russia, you can write a letter to the government. Here’s the link for the instruction:
Петицию против законопроектов, нарушающих права трансгендерных, гомосексуальных и интерсекс людей за сутки подписали почти 20 тыс. человек…
Sign the petition:
Отклоните законопроект о запрете трансгендерным людям на брак и усыновление детей!

i did my research and donated. this is the easiest way to donate to the lebanese red cross.
the Lebanese red cross is a charity that many Lebanese citizens endorse and are asking for others to donate to. As of right now (11:30 EST on the fifth), it’s the most up-to-date info I can find. If you don’t know what’s up, Beirut suffered a chemical explosion the size of a small nuke (which is still fucking huge.) They have a host of other serious and deadly crises (humanitarian/political/social) going on right now, too, and the explosion destroyed their main port, where a lot of their trade and necessary supplies (such as medical supplies) come in. Please, if you can, help Lebanon recover from this blow and tackle the rest of their problems. They need help.
