Autism & Asking for Help

Lil Penguin Studios/Autism Happy Place

[juukai]

hey all. so. once again I'm coming to tumblr to see if anyone can help me. I hate doing this.

but one of my cats, the one who usually clings to me and follows me everywhere, is seriously degrading fast. last night we spent at least 6 hours at an emergency vet, there until about 1:30am, getting her looked at. she's dropped about half her weight, she's not interested in food or water, she cries like walking hurts her, she's been hiding more and more the last month, and between the hours we were at the vet she lost the will to actually walk or crawl. her back legs just don't really work with her.

the problem is, we're strapped. as it is we've been borrowing money against my roomie's checks and from her fiancé in order to pay for groceries every week. my boyfriend paid for Mae's vet bills last night, but she needs more. she got bloodwork and some meds and fluids last night, but the bloodwork and urine analysis didn't have any answers. the vet says the next steps are x-rays and ultrasounds to try and figure out what's happening. we don't have that kind of money, emergency vet or standard one. and Mae's still going downhill at home. she peed herself, her bed, and the floor today. she just... didn't move. she's in a bathroom with a little bed of pillowcases, has food and water right there, and a litterbox.

I know I owe people commissions. I'm just at the end of my rope. so if anyone can spread the word as a way of helping, or send something this way, it's all appreciated. we need to eat, and she needs care. I have $0 in my bank and my roomie is overdrawn, we are very much in dire straights. I have a paypal and ko-fi. if you do want to commission me, it's my pinned post. just know it's a long wait right now, a very long wait. and I apologize for that to the people still waiting.

thank you, everyone.

Please help support a dream of science

I'm trying to raise funds so I can go to grad school (America isn't being kind to science right now, and a lot of places are feeling it). I have somewhere to go, but they don't have funding for me.

Long post, so I'll post the link with the short explanation first, and anyone who wants to read the long version can look under the cut. Thank you in advance.

Hiya folks!

My name is Nico, I’m 28, and I’m trying to go to grad school. The only problem? My program doesn’t have funding for me. My application is being held in a stasis because they don’t accept students without funding, but they don’t want to reject me. I’ve been trying to find sources of funding, but the applicable scholarships require proof of acceptance for applicants. 

I’ve been caught in a catch 22.

I’m a saver, a hard worker, and a stubborn dreamer. I started saving up for college in the 1st grade when I knew I wanted to be a scientist. I’ve been working multiple jobs since I was 14 to try and add to those savings since I’m a twin and I knew my sister and I would be hard to afford at the same time. I’ve managed to get far on stubbornness and dreams, I fulfilled the requirements of two majors while working throughout college to help fund my studies and I even managed to find work adjacent to my field. I’ve worked at a museum since graduating during the pandemic, and I survived the major budget cuts to scientific institutions in recent years. 

I will persist, but now I need help. 

In order to show funding for my degree, I need to gather the cost of tuition. $12,000 in total. I’m confident that, if I can raise these funds, then I can cover the rest of my costs with my savings, a part time job, and the possible scholarships I’ll be allowed to apply to upon acceptance into the program. I’ll be scraping by, and I know a Master’s degree is no easy feat when done on its own without a second job, but I also know I will manage.

 Please trust me when I say I can do this. 

I need help with the first hurdle and I can take it from there. I will fight and claw my way to the end, and I will send my research paper to anyone who wants to read it. I just need your help to get started. Please consider leaving a donation or spreading the word, and if you’ve read this far, thank you. I appreciate each and every one of you.

Best Fishes and Warm Wishes,

~ Nico

What can you do when you can't even pull yourself out of the water? NOTHING! THAT'S WHY I NEED HELP! I DON'T KNOW HOW TO USE SWORDS, YOU BASTARD. I can't navigate. I can't cook. I can't lie, either. I'm confident that I can't live without help!

Turning to the Tumblr have mind and research crew: I need information about assisted living and senior living communities in Washington state for people on social security/medicare/with a low income.

In other words, Dad is starting to think about this (finally!!), because his ladylove had to go to the hospital, and he realized that maaaaybe they need some assistance.

And of course, because we live in a dystopian hellscape, we don’t have the hundreds and hundreds thousands of dollars to solve the issue.

(Hi, your Auntie Jilli is trying not to freak out about this.)

Lost My Home Again - I've been awake for 24 hours straight and this is a cry for help

- Last week I was notified that my landlord has decided to terminate my lease for my apartment; Most likely due to the property, changing ownership recently and nothing personal to do with me

- I still have my housing voucher, so I can use those funds to lease another apartment; but I have to move out of my current place by May 31st, 2026

- I'm under an insane amount of stress right now; losing my apartment was completely unexpected and very triggering/overwhelming; right now i'm working my butt off to avoid being homeless all over again 2 months from now

- This time around, I do have a much better awareness/understanding of the specific steps I need to take in order to secure a new rental property with my housing voucher; my current living situation is also much more stable, and so far I have a pretty solid support system

- However, I'm still struggling with several unknown variables that could drag the moving process out past the end of my lease; so being homeless again this year (even temporarily) is still a looming possibility

- One of those variables is getting the money to cover the application fees for all the properties I'll be applying to; my housing voucher only applies to rent and utility costs after I get a new lease, so I still have to pay the application fees myself

- If anyone is able and willing to spare me some money to help with these fees, I've put my Paypal and Venmo info below; please don't feel pressured to send me money if you aren't able to do so - I would greatly appreciate other forms of support like guiding advice, prayers, social/emotional connections, etc, and my dms are open on both Tumblr & Discord
