Pulse Funds

These are ongoing funds for families of the deceased as well as for those in the hospital. Please message/reblog and I’ll update with links. This post was made June 13 at 7 pm PST.

Pulse Victims Fund: https://www.gofundme.com/PulseVictimsFund

We are working with the National Center for Victims of Crime, which deployed funds in both the Chattanooga and Aurora shootings, to distribute the contributions from this GoFundMe page. 

Fund for Brenda Marquez McCool: https://www.gofundme.com/pulsemom

The Funds will be used to mainly for my mothers funeral preparations and arrangements. Any expenses for legal counsel. To help care for her 11 children in dire need of help to also help our younger brothers and sisters left behind and no longer have her income to support them.

Luis Vielma Support: https://www.gofundme.com/2979fpw

During this time of sadness and grief, we must look at the bright colors of life and celebrate our dear Luis life. These times are hard and expenses will be another burden on the family. Let’s join together as a big family and join the Vielmas with a little bit more peace of mind. 

Laura’s Fund - A Pulse Victim: https://www.gofundme.com/laurawillprevail

Laura Vargas was shot twice in the back and remains in critical condition. There are going to be huge hospital bills, therapy bills and financial burdens that will extend far beyond media coverage of this horrific event. 

Orlando Shooting - Angel Santiago: https://www.gofundme.com/29tuvy3q

Obviously when everything is said and done Angel will be left with some of the medical expenses and difficulties resulting from his injuries. Going through an experience like that is already enough, so please join me showing Angel love and helping make his recovery just a little bit easier.

Don’t Be That Guy.

i just found that people massacred a gay bar in veracruz mexico that left 7 dead and 12 injured and nobody in this country even talked about it

It’s really messed up how abled/neurotypical people can’t adjust to disabled people’s accommodations or needs but expect us to adapt and adjust every single day.

“Islamic” and “Islamist” are not what you call people who follow the religion of Islam. We are Muslim, we are not “Islamist” Islamic/ist is a western word to associate something with Islam.

When can I use the word Islamic?

“he observes the Islamic dress code” makes sense 👍🏼

“She is Islamic” 👎🏼 makes no sense.

A person who follows Islam is a Muslim.

Good question. 🤔

The police waited for three hours before doing anything, apparently, even though they knew about it. 

This was in all likelihood a preventable tragedy. 

Feel free to reblog – my blog is actually hidden from search, so it’s only reblogs that will bring this to the light.
