I have been without my meds for a month now, all the money we've got so gar has been used for rent, bills, groceries, and other basic necessities.
I always put myself last but this is no viable, I need to care for myself so I can care for my family too. Our kids and elderly depend on my partner and me, I want to be as healthy as can be.
A month's worth of my meds is worth $270. Transportation included.
Our rescue cats need food too.
But we also URGENTLY need to get our eldest life saving trans care we started last year but we couldn't continue.
Our backs and joints are killing us from sleeping on the floor, so help with the laundromat so we don't have to hand wash our clothes would be great too. Also some ibuprofen patches.
Our friend is letting use its paypal* because paypal hates mexicans.
*Add a note "Aid for Calli" so it knows it's for us. Thank you!*
$15/$680
PAYPAL
I could kneel and beg if it means I could afford my meds today before 9pm.
if i bring a book someplace it doesn't necessarily mean i want to read it mayb i just want to take her on a walk. Get her some fresh air and a change of scenery
(this list is mainly ways non-locals can donate but by extension offers a lot of resources and places to volunteer in the Twin Cities + there are specific ways to donate time under the cut which can be adjusted to your local neighborhood)

Volunteer your time (under the cut)
🩵Mutual aid
Reach out to your neighbors – especially if you know they are staying home right now – and ask if they need groceries or toiletry items. Offer to pick up prescriptions, give rides, or shovel their driveway. If you know them well, bring them a treat that you know they'll enjoy. Or just ask them how they're doing and let them know you are there to support.
Connect with any of the orgs above and see if they are looking for volunteers.
Connect with a church or mosque in your area. From u/MuddieMaeSuggins: "I know a lot of regular Redditors are not religious (myself included) but like it or not this is a where a lot of community organizing happens, especially in immigrant communities."
Connect with your local school's admin office and/or their PTA. It's ok to reach out even if you don't have kids at the school. PTAs are organizing mutual aid for school families, safe rides, school observers.
🩵Activism
Find an official protest or other event via Indivisible, 50501, FREE AMERICA, or MIRAC. Students at many high schools are staging walk-outs; if your local school is doing this, reach out to school leadership or the PTA and ask how you can support as a community member.
Join the effort to stop Hilton from housing ICE by booking hotel rooms and then cancelling at the last minute. This action can be done from home! The effort is being organized by Sunrise Movement, who are telling activists to target specific hotels one-by-one. More info: SHUT DOWN HILTON
Find people in your area who are actively monitoring ICE and/or stationing themselves in high-traffic areas and ask how you can help. Check for local FB events where people are organizing and just show up.
At minimum, read the COPAL Handbook before you go out to observe. The DFL, Monarca, and other orgs have been hosting online trainings for constitutional observers (though these fill up quickly).
When you see ICE in action, start recording. Be as loud and as disruptive as possible: honk your horn, set off your car alarm, blow your whistle. Let people know that ICE is in the area. If you see someone being detained, try to get their name and a phone number to call their emergency contact.
If you do not feel comfortable observing ICE in person, there are ways you can support from home. Just ask the people who are organizing in your area. I have social anxiety, and I had never participated in any kind of political action before this past Saturday. If I can do it, you can!
Local organizers are requesting that people who help monitor ICE DO NOT participate in 1-to-1 mutual aid efforts, as these can put the families you are helping at risk.
If you have friends/acquaintances who are sympathetic but not politically active, reach out to them. Show them that they're not alone in feeling helpless. Pick a few low-commitment actions from this list and do them together.
My friend Alanna is facing trouble right now because her dog Joca is terribly injuried and needs an urgent surgery. She was able to raise R$923,79, which in dollars would be $173,63. She still needs $493,59 to reach her final goal of $667,22.
I asked her if I could do this in here because most people around us don't have this amount of money to help and donations are unfortunately going too slow. The deadline is the end of the month. Literally any penny will help. Here's a healthy picture of her little Joaquim to make you happy:
Since Alanna doesn't have a PayPal, I'll be the bridge between you and her, so you can help her via:
Ko-fi / Patreon
(Message me right after about Joca so I'll be able to differentiate between other payments)
I will not forgive anyone who sees this post and ignores us.
I am writing these words with tears streaming down my face. I can no longer bear this pain. My wife is suffering from a severe deficiency in vitamins, especially vitamin D, and she urgently needs surgery to save her life. Her body is growing weaker day by day, malnutrition is stealing her strength, and I stand helpless watching her suffer.
All I wish for is to see her alive and healthy. Please help us provide healthy food, her medications, and fund the surgery that could save her life.
Even if you cannot donate, please share this post. Every support, every word, could be the difference between her life and death.
