Hey, guys!

I've got less than a month left to go until my surgery, and my GoFundMe is a little more than halfway funded! I could really use some help getting more eyes on my campaign! You'd be doing me a real solid and helping me eliminate a constant source of pain and infections.

Please do an enby artist a favor and give this a quick reblog?

Saving up for surgery!!!

Hey all!

After serious consideration, I've decided to pursue top surgery privately, rather than through the NHS. As you're probably aware, this is going to be Considerably more expensive, and I could use a little help with it.

I'm aiming to raise about £4000 to manage the costs, but raising anything would be a big help. So if you've got any spare change consider throwing me a pound or two on Ko-fi or Paypal? Or you could buy a stick figure for a fiver, if you're into that kind of thing.

Otherwise if you could pass this around, I'd be very grateful. Stay safe out there everyone.

I was trying not to make this post but Shit Happened, Take One Thousand

Kiddo starts school 8/1. One of her diabetes supplies, called a Gvoke*, is Awaiting Prior Authorization, and once we get it it's gonna cost ~$90. We have to refill her insulin as well, and that's another $75**.

My partner has secured a new job, but a. it doesn't start for two weeks and 2. we don't know yet what his wage will be. IN ADDITION he is back in the hospital due to complications from his LAST hospital visit, bc that carousel just goes around and around.

So we are asking for help getting us over this little medical hurdle. We were hoping the Gvoke would get approved before the end of the month, but [gestures at insurance companies]. I do not have the words or the emotional fortitude to explain what these past two years have done to me, but I know I would not have survived it without y'all's generosity. Love and appreciate every single one of you. 💙

Healthcare can be expensive depending on the country you live in, but it is impossible to attain when you live in a country/place where no doctors can perform the procedures that you need. It may be due to lack of equipment, lack of specialized doctors, or no hospitals at all.

I am raising $ for my friend's mother Nabila @nabila60 This is urgent. Her life is at risk RIGHT NOW and we don't know how much longer she can hold on without treatment. If you answered this poll, please reblog it to reach more people. If you have ever had expensive hospital visits, please show sympathy to a mother who will die without treatment. You can save a life! Every donation counts.

Fundraising For Medical Expenses

Healthcare emergencies are often sudden yet inevitable courses of action that everyone has to go through. This is why people tend to buy health insurance to always be prepared for such kinds of necessities. But not everyone is always ready or well to do when it comes to financial stabilities. Aside from regular medical expenses, such as hospital stays, cancer treatments can also add up to significant living expenses. Having adequate insurance coverage is not enough to cover everything that you need. This is why fundraising for medical expenses is one of the best options to get all the financial support during your difficult time.

Top Surgery Fund!

Hey all, I've decided to come at this from a different angle since the last post hasn't gotten much traction. Thanks so much to the folks who donated and for reblogging.

I've decided to break the goal down a little. After paying the deposit for the surgery, I now have to make five payments of about £750 to cover the rest of it, so I'm setting those up as individual goals. The first of these payements is due on October 1st (01/10/23)

(10/01/23 if you're American)

I've also made a paypal donation page to help keep track. Every pound is incredibly helpful, as are reblogs. And I'm still happy to offer stick figures to whoever wants them.

[nochiquinn]

Long time no update, bc I got sick and hurt myself and then everybody else got sick and end-of-school stuff for the child, and it's more draining to write these posts than you'd think. So forgive me if I sound a little flat, we're still getting beaten up by our own bodies and also the world.

The big one is that Sam is functionally in remission. There are no detectable cancer cells in her body, even from a lumbar puncture. What they're doing now is making sure they can't come back with additional chemo and other treatments. This is probably going to take at least all summer, longer if her numbers do things the doctors don't like.

The Courage Cabaret show went very well, it was a great show and at the end of the night we had enough to pay Sam's insurance from last month. Thank you again to all the performers and Metropolitan Studios for their time, energy, and generosity.

I think that's everything! Things are going slightly better than they could be - certainly better than they have in the past - and we owe all of it to y'all's generosity. I need to think of a better way to say "we're so grateful" that's not. just that sentence. but until I learn how to type out the feeling of relief and gratitude and amazement at how giving people are capable of being, it'll have to do.

Please help us continue to do well by sharing at the links below, or by reblogging this post around so it can hopefully find others who are willing and able to help.

Please Donate to Asma's family's fundraiser

My friend Asma is desperate to help her family evacuate from Gaza.

I have posted a link to her fundraiser before. They are the Mushtaha family consisting of 8 members, the youngest being just 13 years old. Three of Asma's relatives need surgery for the injuries sustained in bombing and being trapped under the rubble.

Its been over 2 months since they started this GofundMe. They have managed to raise 40% of the total money, 20,000/50,000 pounds, but they need to secure all the funds to pay and cross into Egypt.

She shared this video of where her family is currently living in a tent in Gaza (no sound):

And here is what their daily living situation is like:

Lastly, here is an aerial photo of their original home, bombed to smithereens:

They used to live in North Gaza, and one of their neighbors still living there took this picture. They cannot go back even if they wanted to. Since October they have been displaced 7 times!

Please consider donating, even if its a few pounds. If we all can contribute a little bit, we can help many people's fundraisers.

Hi, my name is Giovana (you guys know me as Jojo) and if you are reading this I already appreciate it very much. I've been fired from my job and lost my health insurance, I've been dealing a tremendous amount of debt, and lost my means to work as a freelancer or study (I don't have a laptop).

I have a disability and chronic pains due to an accident that damaged my spine and left shoulder. This costs me dearly, limiting my ability to walk, move around etc (and it's getting to a point where I hardly can find work that adheres or accepts my particular needs). Treatment is very expensive, I need to take 6 prescription medicines daily, plus go to constant medical appointments; and, soon, I'll need to go through expensive exams. All those things are very costly and, having been laid off, with no way of working as freelancer as of yet, has led me to create this fundraiser hoping for some help while I try to settle and find new ways of income.

Please, I'd appreciate any type of donation, any money you can spare that won't affect you financially would be very valuable to me and help a lot. I wouldn't be asking if I wasn't so desperate. Anything would be worth the world to me. Thank you very much.

Qusai Aburas, a diligent and beloved child, always shows a spirit of perseverance and determination. He loves life and playing, and he is keen on making new friends, spreading warmth and joy to everyone around him.

From the beginning of his life, Qusai faced significant health challenges. He suffers from heart problems, which required an open-heart surgery in his early years. The medical journey did not stop there, as he underwent two cardiac catheterization procedures and needs to have regular medical check-ups every six months to monitor his condition.

However, the circumstances of war turned Qusai’s life upside down. These difficult conditions added more challenges to the life of this perseverant child. As his father, I feel helpless in the face of these enormous challenges, and I hope with all my heart that my son’s condition does not worsen under these current circumstances.

Despite all the difficulties, Qusai remains a symbol of hope and courage. Seeing him continue to smile, play, and connect with his friends fills my heart with pride and hope. I wish that Qusai could live in a more stable Qusai Aburas, a diligent and beloved child, always shows a spirit of perseverance and determination.

EDIT: CRISIS AVERTED, THANK YOU!

Interracial US family w/ disabled autistic dad and toddler needs to get to the US for medical treatment

(New post because the old one was getting LONG with the updates. Details are under the "read more" to save your dash, with updates in the notes.)

TL;DR: If I'm going to live long enough to watch our daughter grow up, we need to get back to the US and get set up in a disability-friendly place where I can use my medical benefits.

Although I was already disabled (autism, adhd, and spine, joint, and head injuries), my health was stable--until four bouts of COVID left me immunocompromised, and utterly destroyed my health (including damage to my heart, blood clots that damaged one eye, neurological and joint issues, etc.), and although we started off fine, we've been hammered with one crisis after another, both medical and financial, that no one could have predicted.

Until we have enough to get back to the US, a chunk of whatever comes in has to go towards medical care that can't be put off, so the sooner we can reach critical mass on that, the better.

If you can help, or reblog, or share the links on other platforms, we'd be grateful!

The "Donate to Little or None" Paypal donation link takes the lowest fees, I think. (Kept the same link from when we were fighting to get our daughter's birth certificate fixed so we could get her citizenship affirmed.)

Then there's Ko-Fi:

And my little sister started a GoFundMe for us!

EDIT: The donation links above still work, but I removed the GoFundMe link.

IF YOU WANT ALL THE DETAILS SEE THE "READ MORE."

(There's more in my "rob gets medical" tag if you want a blow by blow account of how we got to this point over the past few years, but this is the gist.)

HOW IT STARTED:

I moved to the Philippines six years ago, after the deaths of my adult sons, in part to make my disability payments stretch further. Shortly afterwards, I was joined by my now-wife @thesurestthing (also from the US) for what was supposed to be a visit, but which turned into a permanent arrangement.

After I got a contract to license an old story for a mobile game (which tripled our income*), we found out we were having a baby, which was fine, because despite my disabilities (autism, adhd, two spine injuries, traumatic brain injury, a herniated esophagus, joint issues, etc.), my health was stable, and thanks to the contract, we were fine financially as well.

HOW IT STARTED GOING DOWNHILL:

Zoey's pregnancy was complicated, requiring two hospitalizations, and our daughter's birth was complicated, too--requiring a C-Section--which tripled our hospital bill. A few weeks after our daughter was born, the aforementioned contract was canceled without warning. THEN, when we tried to register our daughter's birth with the US embassy, we discovered an error on her birth certificate that left her stateless, and which took nearly two years, all our savings, and a fundraiser (thank you, generous people!) to resolve. Combined with medical expenses, that left us in a lot of debt.

A brief summary of went else wrong (leaving a lot out for brevity's sake):

I got COVID three four times during all this, became immunocompromised, and developed a slew of other medical issues (heart damage, eye damage and temporary facial paralysis from blood clots, persistent infections, a worsening of my joint issues, neurological issues, etc.) as a result of Long Covid.

I've had to be hospitalized a couple of times, undergo surgery, and was on an oxygen machine twice--once for an entire month, while I was bedridden. As of 24 January, 2024, I'm still recovering from my fourth bout of covid, which started at the beginning of October 2023.

There's a lot more, but you get the idea. COVID has completely wrecked my health, including tearing up my immune system.

And yes, I'm as fully vaxxed against COVID as one can be in the Philippines, with all available boosters, but again--I'm immunocompromised, plus they don't have the vax for the newest variant here yet. Zoey is vaxxed, also, and as a result, her bout with covid was extremely mild. El isn't vaxxed yet because they won't give the covid vaccine to kids under five here, but she's been able to share Zoey's antibodies from breast-feeding--which is apparently a thing.

The only way we can see for me to stay alive long enough to watch Eleanor grow up is to get back to where I can use my Medicare and VA benefits**.

WHY SO MUCH MONEY?

First, while we're still here, we need to pay for whatever medical care can't be put off. Plus, since I'm now immunocompromised, we have to get LOTS of vaccinations before we have to spend 24 hours or so in crowded planes and airports.

Second, we're going to be arriving with only what we can carry with us on the plane, and we'll need to get into a place near a VA hospital that I can easily get around in while I'm recovering from surgeries and getting various treatments. We'll need to pick up some secondhand household goods, and some kind of used transportation (because, you know, it's the US, where you kind of need a vehicle to get around).

We'll also need enough on top of my and El's disability payments to get by for a couple of months while Zoey looks for work. And all this is while we're still paying off the debt from the stuff I mentioned above.

So we're figuring that unless we catch some very lucky breaks, it'll probably cost between 20K and 36K altogether.

(We can't simply stay with friends when we get back, because literally every single close friend we have in the US with extra room and who lives close to a VA hospital has cats--to which I have a severe anaphylactic reaction. As in my entire respiratory system shuts down, and I have to be rushed to the ER to keep from dying; this has happened more than once. The only way I can be around cats is if I'm on immunosuppressants, and my immune system is ALREADY compromised, so I CAN'T do that.)

So again, if you can kick in, or reblog, or post our crowdfunding links (or the link to this post) on whatever other platforms you use, we'd appreciate it.

(*When I told social security about it, they said I could keep getting disability, too, because licensing IP rights didn't count as work income, and since it was a Moldavian company, it also fell under a special tax clause for getting paid by a foreign company while living overseas, so no taxes on it, either. )

(**VA benefits--I was a cold warrior in 1980s Germany. It was less than forty years after WWII, there was a lot of sabre-rattling--some of it nuclear--and we were there as a deterrent to prevent in Germany the kind of thing that's happening in Ukraine right now. Disclaimer because I'm tired of people accusing me of "invading" folks in the early 1980s when I was a dumb, heavily propagandized pre-Internet kid fixing generators in Europe. I wouldn't join today even if I could.)
