My cat Scout has a tumour in his mouth that needs to be removed and tested for cancer
Surgery is about $1000nzd, but he may need medication afterwards so my goal is $1200nzd (approx $671usd), but this may increase when I know exactly what the next step is
If you are able to donate any amount you can here or even just reblog, it'd be really appreciated!

“I did assault her and I will do it again,” he said. “And if I need to be 10 years in prison I’m happy to be 10 years in prison.” Says a man fled anyway.
The trans activist who threw tomato juice on a women’s rights campaigner during a free speech event in Auckland has been charged with common
The trans activist who threw tomato juice on a women’s rights campaigner during a free speech event in Auckland has been charged with common assault and appears to be fleeing from New Zealand authorities as a result.
Eliana Rubashkyn, also known as Eliana Golberstein and Eliana Rubinstein, is a male who identifies as transgender and intersex and uses “they/them” pronouns. On March 25, Rubashkyn attacked women’s rights campaigner Kellie-Jay Keen during what was supposed to be a peaceful women’s rights demonstration.
Keen, also known by her moniker Posie Parker, had arranged for a speaking tour of New Zealand centered around giving women the platform to express their thoughts on gender ideology. But she was forced to cut the tour short after being met with extreme aggression at her first stop in Auckland at Albert Park.
As Keen approached the bandstand in the park, where she was set to speak to a crowd of approximately 200 supporters, Rubashkyn dumped a liter of tomato juice onto her and her security detail. Videos of the incident have since circulated on social media, and Rubashkyn told a local news station that he was able to approach Keen because he lied about his identity and pretended to be a supporter of hers.
Following the event, Rubashkyn gave an interview where he claimed that he targeted Keen because “her words are blood because they are killing our people.” He continued: “That tomato juice represents the blood of the people she is trying to kill.”
Rubashkyn also addressed the crowd after Keen was escorted away from the park by police, and stated that he wanted Keen to be “full of blood … because she’s advocating for our genocide.”
Information on Rubashkyn’s charge was first reported by Newsable, which received a statement from Rubashkyn where he again claimed the assault and suggested he was comfortable facing justice.
“I did assault her and I will do it again,” he said. “And if I need to be 10 years in prison I’m happy to be 10 years in prison.”
But despite his words, Rubashkyn fled New Zealand shortly after being made aware that police were planning on issuing a warrant for his arrest on charges of assault.
His latest travel-related post suggests he has now left Australia and is en route to the United States.
A fundraiser has been launched to support Rubashkyn, citing support for a legal defense fund as well as “personal security needs.” It has since raised just over $1,300 as of the writing of this article. The fundraising campaign is currently under review by GiveALittle, and some on social media have noted it is likely against the platform’s terms of service to be fundraising for a known fugitive.
Rubashkyn is originally Jewish-Ukrainian from Colombia, but currently lives in New Zealand. He has worked with the UN and as a Program Officer at ILGA World (the International Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans, and Intersex Association). Much of his origin story and gender identity has come into question after a March 28 Twitter space wherein Rubashkyn appeared incoherent at times while addressing a live audience for almost 8 continuous hours.
During the space, Rubashkyn made a number of anti-lesbian, racist, sexist, and violent remarks, including that trans-identified males were the “first victims” of the Holocaust.
“Trans women were the first victims of Nazism. Trans women were killed before the Jews were sent to concentration camps,” he said, continuing: “In the 1930s, Nazis relied on TERFs to promote hate… TERFs became holders of concentration camps for females. TERFs were quite instrumental in the system that the Nazis built for making more babies… to keep Nazi Germany growing.”
Rubashkyn claims to be Jewish and says he can speak fluent Hebrew, but seemed to be unable to understand a Hebrew speaker who challenged him on his assertion.
In addition to the marathon space, Rubashkyn also uploaded a video to his Twitter account in which he was seen sobbing while claiming there was a “trans genocide” occurring, and that “Nazis” were trying to murder him.
“I am so full of joy because I am trans, but I am so scared because they want to kill me. The Nazis, they are– they just really want to get you.”
The March 25 event was part of an international Let Women Speak tour hosted by British women’s rights campaigner Kellie-Jay Keen. Keen has hosted rallies across the UK, USA, and Australia encouraging women to use her platform to speak about how gender ideology has impacted their lives.
While Keen’s events are often met with hostility, the New Zealand rally descended into violence so rapidly that it had to be cancelled before it could even begin.
As she arrived at the Albert Park venue, Keen went live on her YouTube channel as she usually does to provide her supporters updates from the event.
Immediately, the scene was chaotic as police did not appear to be present. Those watching from a distance through the YouTube stream were able to see Keen being led by her security though a braying crowd of trans activists. Once she managed to make it to the stage, Keen could immediately be heard expressing concerns about the lack of police presence.
Keen and her supporters were quickly surrounded by an increasingly aggressive mob of trans protestors. The activists broke through established barriers, and didn’t take long before the decision was made to cancel the event and leave for the safety of all involved.
In addition to Keen having been assaulted by Rubashkyn, an elderly woman who had attended the demonstration in support of Keen was battered in the face by a male trans activist.
The woman, who is said to be in her 70s, was left with a darkly blackened eye after being both head-butted and punched in the face. Videos of the assault went viral on Twitter as multiple angles of the altercation between the elderly woman and the male trans activist began to leak in the aftermath of the rally.
Help a disabled artist present her work on the international stage.
It feels a bit naff to be posting this here where crowdfunding tags are full of requests for literal life or death situations; but this is my very talented wife, who is just hitting her stride as an artist. She has had a piece accepted into the juried exhibition at the Houston International Quilt Festival, which is kind of an Olympics of quilting. This is a Big Deal and could be life changing for her.
All her quilting associates and mentors are telling us that she absolutely has to be there herself if possible for the opportunities this could create, so we’re turning to crowdfunding. The clock is ticking as the show is only a few months away and the sooner we could lock in flights and accommodation the better.
I’m a believer in the power of weak links, so a reblog is as good as a donation :) Thank you for taking the time to read this.

Update
Thanks to some incredible generosity in the Givealitte and a funding application being accepted Daena has been able to reserve accommodation and lower the Givealiitle target. Things are looking good. Thank you everyone who has shared or contributed so far :D
Labrador puppy needs jaw surgery because of accidental fall.
Friend in NZ's puppy had a fall and she needs help with medical bills. <3
After so many vet visits, and countless days and nights worrying, we now know Thomas has lymphoma.
This cancer has manifested in his intestines and is spreading to the lymph nodes.
We're starting chemotherapy on Monday, which is going to cost around $900 per treatment. We need to do one a week for four weeks first, then if it shrinks, we can reduce it down to around once every three weeks.
We hope that this will disappear and he will get to live a longer, more comfortable, and happy life.
If you'd like to help us with the expensive costs, we've set up a givealittle page - https://givealittle.co.nz/cause/raise-for-thomas
Every dollar counts, so if you can donate just a little, will go towards his care!
Help Ella get her gender reassignment surgery, so she can get on with living her life.
Publicly funded gender reassignment surgeries in New Zealand are a mess. Last year only 9 surgeries were performed from a waiting list of over 300!
My friend Ella would have to wait decades to see the public surgeon, so please consider donating to her fundraiser to be able to afford private care overseas.

Help Dad spend time with Kate, kids and granddaughter for a trip to make memories to support and sustain us.
I thought I'd share this here for my Dad ❤️ A couple of months ago my Dad found out he had a brain tumor which turned out to be stage 4 cancer, they did surgery to remove it and now he's on a treatment of chemo + radiation. We don’t know how long he may have left, so we're fundraising for a couple of big family holidays to take with him around NZ for later this year and hopefully next year too. If you could please share, and if possible donate, I'd really appreciate it. Thank you so much! ❤️
