Oliver Stark Fundraiser for LGBTQ+ Youth

As a thank you for the amazing work Oliver has done portraying his character Evan Buckley's coming out journey and the support he's continually shown to the lgbtq+ community, we wanted to set up a fundraiser in his name. The charity we've chosen is True Colors United, an organization which helps homeless youth particularly lgbtq+ and bipoc young people who are struggling. 

Where can you donate?

Hey, I don't usually post stuff like this, but a friend of a friend needs help to get HIV treatment in Turkey. I don't know much about how healthcare there is.

I am NOT someone benefiting from this fundraiser, I just want to boost this.

Dear All,

Since I finished illustrating the book by Ké Kampeas-Rittenhouse we still haven’t reached the ultimate goal of collecting 2000 CAD.

Just because I finished the illustrations doesn’t mean it’s alright to stop supporting this endeavour. Please donate now so that the book can be finished! Besides, it’s Pride Month! Pride is all about recognizing and supporting LGBTQ+ people, who are constantly being persecuted around the globe.

Also, please share this post on your profiles. The more people see it, the bigger chances of reaching the final goal. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for all the supporters we’ve had so far, without you we would have never gotten to this point.

We Need Your Support Now More Than Ever🏳️‍🌈🙏

Hello friends.

We are LGBTIQ refugees from East Africa, and we are facing unimaginable challenges in the refugee camps where we have been displaced. Every day, we struggle to survive in hostile environments filled with homophobia and persecution. Our lives are constantly at risk, and we need your help to make it through these difficult times.

Despite the challenges, we have some good news to share! The first group of LGBTIQ refugees from our community is finally heading to Canada. This is a huge milestone for us, and it wouldn't have been possible without your incredible support. We are deeply grateful to everyone who has stood by us, and we ask that you continue to support us in whatever way you can.

But we still have a long way to go. Many of us remain in these camps, living in fear and uncertainty. We are asking, kindly, for your donations to our fundraiser. Every penny counts—whether it’s for food, medication, or shelter, your contribution helps us survive another day.

Even though it's difficult to keep asking, we can’t stop. Our lives and futures depend on your generosity. Please, if you can, donate to our cause. Together, we can create a safer future for our community.

Thank you for your continued support, and let’s keep moving forward.

LGBTQ Community | LGBTQ Fundraisers | What is LGBTQ | LGBTQ fundraiser

What is LGBT and LGBTQ?

LGBT is a short form for lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender. It might also additionally refer to everyone who is non-heterosexual or non-cisgender, rather than completely to those who are lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgender. A famous variant, LGBTQ, provides the letter Q for individuals who discover as queer or are questioning their sexual or gender identity to understand this inclusion.

What is LGBTQ Community?

The LGBT community (also referred to as the LGBTQ+ community, GLBT community, or the gay community) is also represented grouping of LGBT organisations and subcultures, united by a common lifestyle and social movements. These communities typically celebrate pride, diversity, individuality, and sexuality. 

LGBT members see LGBT community-building as retribution to heterosexism, homophobia, biphobia, transphobia, sexualism, and conformist pressures present in the current society. Not all lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgender people consider themselves part of the LGBT community.

Eviction

I did not make rent, I’m no where near it. I still have $750 to raise. Out of desperation I charged my card just to attempt to pay. The 3rd is the absolute last day to pay. The office is closed, so on Monday the leasing office will see whether I paid or not. If I don’t raise the remaining $750 the transaction will decline.

Goal: $750

CA: $HushEmu

PP: emuslayter@gmail.com

If my payment declines I will be charged an additional $100 for processing fee. Not only that I will pay for the late fee which is $100 + $10 everyday rent is late. This is still in effect even if they are evicting the tenant. Evictions take 1-3 months every month I reside in my apartment they will charge me if I don’t vacate. The $100 + late fee will still resume even in eviction. I processed the payment despite not having enough to pay rent to buy time. I am lucky that rent fell on the weekend and not during the week.

This is my final plea to staying housed. I have exhausted all options. If payment does not reflect by Sunday Midnight. I will be issued a notice to vacate Monday.

‼️EMERGENCY FUNDS: I need Help With Medical Bills And Equipment‼️

In December 2020 I was hospitalized and had to have emergency surgery where I had to stay at home for the entire period of my illness without working, and I also had DKA aka Diabetic ketoacidosis is a serious complication of diabetes that occurs when your body produces high levels of blood acids called ketones.

In the picture, the devices you see are the ones that are needed to control my diabetes.

Diabetic ketoacidosis develops when your body cannot produce enough insulin. Insulin normally plays an important role in helping sugar (glucose), the main source of energy for your muscles and other tissues, enter your cells. Without enough insulin, your body begins to break down fat as an alternative fuel. This process produces a buildup of toxic acids in the bloodstream called ketones, eventually leading to diabetic ketoacidosis if left untreated.

Three months later in March 2021 I finally got to see an endocrinologist, who specializes in Type 1 Diabetes. Who told me that an insulin pump would be a good device for me?

I was recently approved for an insulin pump that will help me better control my diabetes. Although I am happy that I am approved the hardest part is coming up with the funds to pay for the pump and equipment.

📎GOAL:$85/$340

A donation of any amount will be greatly appreciated even if you can't donate but if you share the story against friends It will help. Thanks to anyone and everyone who is willing to help.

New donors needed to help keep Scarleteen’s queer, trans and gender nonconforming sex educators going!

We, the queer and trans, staff & volunteers at Scarleteen spend the vast majority of our time giving support. We very actively maintain a friendly and accessible website full of resources, advice and information, and provide a caring, safe and patient environment in all of our direct services. We continue to make a massive contribution towards sexuality education as a whole, as we have for the whole of our 25 year tenure. Everywhere we go we receive thanks from educators and service workers for the motivation we, and our founder Heather Corinna, have given them to do incredible work in their communities. However, for our daily survival and our dreams of the future, we need support too!

Unless our current trajectory changes we will not have the funding this year to give our volunteers end-of-year stipends to reward their generous efforts, nor bring our codirectors’ wages any closer to industry standard or even industry average rates of pay for their positions and tenure - averages which we continue to undershoot by quite some margin, nor will we be able to reimburse those staff for the many hours they have worked in excess of their basic 30 hours a week. We will also be unable to increase their healthcare benefits which for one disabled member of our team, will have been exceeded 4 times over by actual healthcare costs by the end of the year, which they have had to pay for out-of-pocket.

As part of our annual Pride celebration we are asking you to consider becoming one of the 50 (and fabulous) new recurring donors we are determined to find this week! Please consider supporting a few good queer & trans people to help us continue to deliver queer sex and relationships education, info and support, which remains free and open to all.

Recurring monthly donations of $10 or more are part of the treasured community of donors who give us peace of mind like nothing else can. We will need a further 250 recurring donors at that level or the financial equivalent to keep us on-track for our most modest projections through the coming years, so whatever help you can give us today to exceed our initial target of 50 will be cherished by us more than you can know.

Here’s some ways to help:

If you can become a new monthly donor, please do! We would love to welcome you to our valued bunch of fabulous supporters!

If you are already a donor, please consider tacking on an extra $10 per month, even temporarily, if you can!

If you cannot currently afford to donate an increased amount, or cannot donate at all, please consider reaching out to someone who you think can, so that eventually we can find that new donor. (And if you manage to sign someone up, do let us know so we can thank you!)

If you only want to or can give us a one-time donation we will still be incredibly grateful for that help at any level. We know a thing or 12 about deep financial limitations and having to choose very carefully where you give.

Please go to scarleteen.com/donate to begin your monthly donation, or if you have further questions head to scarleteen.com/contact drop us a message.

Thank you once more for your support and for being your queer/trans/allied/otherwise-awesome self,

Yours sincerely,

The Scarleteam …

of Scarleteen: queer sex ed for all since 1998❤️

If you're a fan of Oliver Stark can you please reblog this👇 post

Me and @sunflowerdigs saw the hate that has been directed towards Oliver since Buck and Tommy's relationship ended. There have been a lot of accusations of biphobia/homophobia among other hurtful things. Everyone has the right to feel how they want about the show but that shouldn't be placed on Oliver.

It's clear from everything Oliver says and does in regards to the show that portraying Buck as authentically as possible matters to him. Oliver has repeatedly shown how much he cares about standing up for the lgbtq community and about being good representation for us.

This a big reason why we wanted to do a fundraiser for an lgbtq+ charity (True Colors United) in his name. We wanted in some small way for Oliver to know we see and appreciate him and the work he does. I know he'd love to see a charity like True Colors, which helps homeless lgbtq+ kids have more support. Even if you aren't able to donate just sharing the post helps.

Here's the direct link to the fundraiser page.

oliverstarktruecolorsfundraiser

It's on a secure site called JustGiving where the money goes directly to the charity.

If you decide to donate and find that the paypal option isn't showing up or not working try refreshing the donate page. I had that problem myself.

If you have any questions please message me or @sunflowerdigs

Thanks Justine :)

A message from a close friend of mine: ❤️

Hi everyone! I am raising funds for my best friend & chosen family member Eli Arrington. Eli was recently discharged from the hospital with a diagnosis of Guillain-Barré Syndrome, a rare neurological and autoimmune condition. Eli will be attending frequent outpatient therapy appointments (physical, occupational, mental health) and various other appointments including primary care and neurology as they work to regain mobility and strength on the long road to recovery.

Eli is unable to drive and their family works full-time outside of the house, so they cannot provide rides to appointments. Funds will be used for transportation via Lyft or Uber for them and their mobility aid to and from 3-5 medical and mental health appointments a week.

Eli cares deeply for their community and loves us well. I am hoping we can give them the same kindness and care they give others during this hard time. Eli has held my hand and the hands of many other friends through life-changing challenges. Please help us give back to our chosen family, community member, and friend during their own life-altering health crisis. No amount is too small. Please share this fundraiser with everyone you can. Thank you!

I know Eli personally, they are a wonderful human being. ❤️ Please help me support my community! No donation is too small.

Please Bring Kaiser Home.

I have been having complications with managing my diabetes that have led me to be hospitalized twice. I live alone.

Kaiser would not only improve my quality of life but also be my companion and friend

Please help a queer cat dad and their fur kids keep shelter

Howdy everyone, I could really use some help. For the last few years I've had trouble with work in the town I currently live in. There is either nothing at all for ages at a time or the jobs I do manage to snatch hold Layoffs within a year. In this last year alone I have tried applying for every job I could and nothing has bit. everything from fast food to janitorial to office work, all these 'urgently hiring' positions have just never given me the time of day. Coupled with lack of public transport and increasing rent, there is just no feasible way for me to stay where I am without becoming Homeless in one of the hottest summers around in a state where there is next to NO homeless care (gotta love red states man.)

So I Urgently need help gathering funds to move closer to family and the chance at finding a better life and stable work.

Every little bit helps and if you would like to commission me rather than donate, My commissions post can be found here Please note my coms queue is still full at the moment so it'll take me time to get through everything!
