#signal boosting my friend's fundraiser!

[druddigoon]

"In early October, our young cat Victor had to be rushed to the emergency hospital after growing weak and unsteady over the course of 48 hours. We originally thought he may have gotten into our stash of edibles, or eaten something else that he shouldn't have. Once there, we found out his bladder was completely blocked, and he may be going into kidney failure."

"The doctors said we could do the surgery, or he would need to be put down. Vic's only four years old, and other than this was an otherwise completely normal, healthy cat. So, we went ahead with the surgery (after being approved for a high-limit credit card)."

"We would appreciate any help in reducing his $4,400 emergency vet bill."

"Thank you all for your time and generosity."

Please Help Posie Fight Seizures and Live On

Hello, my name is Posie. I’m a Poodle-Pomeranian mix. I’m 12 years old, going on to 13. I’ve been having bad seizures recently, but I want to keep living, fighting to be with my family, cuddling, going on adventures. Any amount helps. Please help me be with my family. Thank you.

hi guys, a beloved pet of one of my closest friends is currently going through some treatment for her seizures.

posie is one of the cutest and fluffiest dogs I've ever had the pleasure of knowing and it would mean a lot to me and my friend for any support paying for her medical costs. Any amount helps. thank you.

A friend in need

My friend CattStarr is unable to work and needs help. She is depressed and just not have any ways to help herself out of this ditch.

So I am going to make a fundraiser for her. Anything coming my way, new commissions after I finish with the ones I am doing will go for her benefit. I am doing this because she deserves such kindness.

If you got other ideas, please tell me.

[thatonequeeraunt]

Please help and share.

I'm worried Roxie's quality of life is soon going to slow down. Shes still playing, eating, able to go to the bathroom, and still walking around the house. The tumor on her shoulder is quite large and her leg is slightly swollen. I try to stretch those muscles and ice it for her without causing pain. Walking around the house she does get a little out of breath and sleeping is sometimes a little restless. I worried her good days are going to end soon.

I hope with some help we can make some kind of jump in her fundraisers. I want to be able to give her as many good days as possible. I hope together we extend those days. I don't want her to suffer or be in pain but I dont want to lose my best friend.

If you can donate I will forever be grateful for helping me get more time with my best friend. I especially need help at the moment getting her more medicine but it would help to raise enough for worse case scenario

Ponified!

•

My brain has been awful about letting me get art done. One thing that’s been a lot of fun and a welcome break to get the creativity flowing again is creating pony designs for my friends!

•

I tried to mix Heather’s love of triangles, gingko trees, and an earthy color palette into a cohesive design and I love how it turned out. It definitely feels reminiscent of their vibe.

•

Design is for @hahanimation

•

Interested in my work? Feel free to shoot me a dm if you’d like! My commissions are open and I’m saving up for surgery! You can find prices and examples in my pinned post.

•

Or if you’d rather contribute to my fundraiser directly you can check that out below! I’m currently at about $700/7404 with about 8 months to go!

[kedreeva]

You're sort of one of the kindest people i know on tumblr, so. um. i had a question.

how do i deal with it all?

right of the bat i will tell you i am a minor and my parents are zionists, so i have no income of my own or anything i could donate. everytime i post a single fundraiser that reaches my inbox and is vetted, i get 4-5 new fundraising asks for palestine.

most of them are unvetted, but i keep thinking that if i can't donate i should at least have faith in people and reblog the fundraisers even if they're unvetted, possibly that they're actually new and need as much help we can give, however, there's a possibility they are scams, and i don't want to draw away the attention vetted fundraisers might get.

how do you decide where to help out and how to live with your decision?

I have a policy that when it comes to asks (or messages) that solicit money or other actions (like boosting posts) I don't respond to or even publish asks that come from anyone that has never spoken to me before that moment, and that's a policy that has been in place for many years now, and is unlikely to change largely because the majority of asks/messages that are requesting money or to visit a blog post/their blog/their website are scams (or more often several years ago, led to virus infections on your computer!). My blog is, as it has stated at the top for over ten years now, a personal blog, not a fundraising/signal boosting/vetting blog for spreading donations- there ARE blogs like that, and people can choose to interact with those blogs or not, but my blog isn't the place for it and that's a hard boundary I enforce for my own well being. Tumblr is my place to rest and recover, however I see fit to do that.

A random ask to my inbox asking for money, regardless of what it is for, is (in my view) equivalent to a cold call from a stranger soliciting money. It's not about faith in people, it's not about right or wrong, it's not about can or can't. This is my home, and I don't answer the phone to unknown numbers. I will help friends/family/people I know personally (or parasocially, if I like them or recognize them), obviously, but that's a bit of a different horse.

As for how I decide where to help out, if I have the ability (funds, spoons, time etc), I will seek out information on the best place to donate that can do the most with the money to help the person/people/cause that I want to help. It's the Food Pantry Equation: I could spend $5 on groceries at retail price to donate, and maybe get enough for 1 meal for 1 person (though in this fuckoff capitalist hellscape, I'm not sure $5 would even buy a whole meal), or I could give $5 directly to a Food Pantry organization, who buys in bulk and knows where to get stuff cheap, so that my $5 can help five people or ten people or whatever. I also do my best to participate in fandom events that raise money for good causes; stuff like the fanworks charity auction I helped run to donate to a wolf sanctuary, or stuff like Fandom Trumps Hate (another charity fanworks auction event). Those kind of events are generally open about where the donations go to, and have done research into organizations to ensure the gathered money goes to good charities.

Like with the above, however, it's different if I know the person. If my neighbor comes and asks for a cup of sugar or my friend needs help moving or whatever, I'm gonna give them what they need without the middleman because we have that relationship already established. Donating $5 to a food pantry would probably help more people by numbers, but helping my neighbors and friends and family etc builds community in a way giving $5 to a random stranger on the phone soliciting money cannot, and even in a way donating $5 (or $5 worth of food) to a Food Pantry cannot. It's also usually a matter of one and done, as well as semi-transactional the way any relationship is a give and take; I can give my neighbor some sugar, and down the road they can return the favor the next time I'm in need of help. I help my friends move and I know whether or not I ever move, myself, that they would do the same for me if they're able. You can't say this about a random ask on the Internet and you likely won't ever be able to say it for most charities unless you somehow end up in their exact area of expertise. So it's different.

I feel like you should also learn about Tim Wong, the guy who basically single-handedly repopulated the Pipevine Swallowtail butterfly out in California. The lesson his story can and should teach is that... sometimes it can do more good for the world to care Very Much about one specific thing, and put your heart and soul into it, than it does to spread a little bit of care over a lot of things.

So, I guess what I mean to say here is... don't feel guilty about what you cannot do. There's no guilt in that. When you are ready and able to help, you can always go and look for a good way to do so (and what you end up helping may not always be the thing you think it will be), but you don't need to feel pressured by telemarketers or charity donation calls from strangers while you're trying to eat dinner. Especially if they don't even know who you are, either.

Hello! Today I'd like to draw your attention towards the fundraising efforts of Ahed ( @ahedalshaer ), a 22 year old man from Gaza.

Ahed now lives in Mawasi Khan Younis with her family in tents and their situation is very tragic. Ahed lost her future, her university, her home and everything that made her happy. Now she needs your help so that she can pay her university fees and help her family so that they can buy food and drink.

Ahed’s fundraiser is also suffering from extreme stagnation. The last donation to him was three days ago. I humbly ask you to consider donating to him if it is within your means, as you will be providing material help to Ahed in the wake of this immense tragedy. His goal is very achievable- he is looking to raise €30000 and has so far raised €402.

Ahed desperately needs our help. Please share this post and follow Ahed for any updates on his situation. Thank you for taking the time to read this- I hope we can all work together to help Ahed as much as we can.

URGENT - ORGANIZE A GOFUNDME FOR DIANA IN GAZA

Hi everyone. You may be familiar with Safaa @sfaamq10 from me sharing her campaign (verified by 90-ghost here). I have been talking to Safaa almost daily for the past few weeks, and last week, she asked me if I could operate a GoFundMe for her friend, Diana.

Diana's home was destroyed by the IOF several months ago. All her male family members, including her husband, have been taken captive by the IOF. At the time he was taken captive, Diana was pregnant, but the stress of her situation caused her to miscarry. In addition to all her relatives being held captive, Diana's brother was killed. She is now displaced and living in a tent designed for 2 people with 6 of her family members.

I initially offered to operate a GoFundMe for Diana, but I realize now that I can't take on this responsibility. I'm under a lot of stress right now for a variety of reasons (including financial ones), and my ADHD & depression symptoms have been really bad lately. In short, I'm exhausted all the time and my memory and ability to focus is shot. I don't have the time or energy to dedicate to this fundraiser what it deserves. I'm afraid that I will forget to check my messages/email/the fundraiser progress, and I don't want to run the risk of screwing something up when there could be tens of thousands of dollars involved. I would feel more comfortable if someone who has experience running a GoFundMe took on this role.

If you live in a country that can receive funds from GoFundMe and feel confident in your ability to manage an evacuation fundraiser, please send me a direct message so I can put you in contact with Diana (she does not have a tumblr account).

Otherwise, SIGNAL BOOST. Please help me find someone to help Diana!!

Hello neighbor!!!!

I'm Rose, she/her, tme, 35

I am an old lady with kids

I am a lesbian! Yay! 🌈

I'm super friendly and dtf as in "down to flirt" and "down to make friends" but unless you want to spend the next year or so really forming a bond probably not "down to fuck"

Incorrigibly horny on main

Lots of personal posting, LOTS of sexual content, some scattered fandom stuff, occasional religion posting. Disgustingly earnest, unabashedly cringe.

This blog is not family friendly, so 21+ pls

If you're also old and into Dragon Age, my DA fandom blog is @theheartofhawke

I block liberally and with no ill will so don't take it personally if

🌸 You're very young (18-20 year olds I know you're adults and can do what you want but this blog is not for you)

🌸 You don't list an age in your bio

🌸 You follow me from a fundraising blog (I'm more than happy to signal boost, no need to follow me)

🌸 You're into kinks that aren't my cup of tea (maledom particularly is just not something I want to see and it’s everywhere)

🌸 You've got an "edgy" sense of humor

🌸 We just don't vibe

Absolutely do take it personally if

💀 You're a rad, a trad, a transphobe, a racist, a Zionist, a misogynist, someone who thinks they aren’t a misogynist but is vile to trans women (ie a misogynist), a prick about bisexuals, or someone who wants to get mad at me about my religion.

💀 You don't respect my boundaries or take uninvited liberties in my DMs. Do not try to sext me unless we’ve had flirty interaction, and even then it’s nice to ask.

🧦 honestly new cishet men are on thin ice right now— I really want to be friends, but you lads have got to behave yourselves or you’re catching a block. Idk why I made dirty socks your emoji but that’s how I feel about you rn

🕊️I sometimes like to encourage people to make donations to various mutual aid causes (especially Palestinian families' gofundmes) by offering nudes or other nsft content in exchange for screenshots of the donation. Those offers can be found under the tag #love thy neighbor

Some other tags I use frequently are #personal log (exactly what it sounds like) and #myself (pics)

Again, welcome, and have an excellent day 🌈

[amazing-spiderling]

Hey everyone. How are we doing? If you stumbled on this post because you follow me on Tumblr, I'm guessing the answer is NOT GREAT. Me either. Hoof.

But something that makes me feel a little better is taking action, and turning bits of my skill and time to something productive, which is why I've decided to offer ongoing decorated toploader commissions to you, the fine folks of the internet. For the low (well, reasonable) price of a ten dollar or more donation to one of the listed organizations (or the vetted Palestinian fundraiser of your choice, there's too many for me to list, but you can certainly find some reblogged here and elsewhere) I will decorate a toploader holding a trading/photo card of the character/celebrity/pet/etc of your choice.

You may have seen some of my deco jobs here on my blog, but if not, here's an a few pieces of my work. (You can find more by searching my blog for "decorated toploader")

These are just a few I've done in recent months!

I currently have HUNDREDS of vintage Marvel and Sailor Moon trading cards in my possession, but if I don't have your favorite character, I am happy to make a custom card (like how I printed out Hannibal and low-poly Otacon above). I'm tagging the fandoms I know, but I'm more than willing to do whoever your favorite is. (I may just need a little context to get the vibe right.)

I will be mailing your card to you (domestic or international) in a standard envelope, this way I can use a regular stamp instead of fussing with postage/customs/etc. And you don't have to pay shipping (unless you really want to have me send it as a tracked package). I haven't had any issue with cards arriving this way thus far, especially within the US.

If you are interested (and I hope you are) send me a proof of your donation (dated 11/9/24 or after) of $10 or more to one of the following:

The Trevor Project

Trans Lifeline

National Network of Abortion Funds

ACLU

OR the personal fundraiser of any Palestinian in need!

I can usually knock these out fairly quickly (2-3 in an evening if I'm in the zone) but you can always check with me if you need them ASAP. (Say, maybe for a holiday gift for your fandom friends? Eh? EHH?)

I hope you'll consider helping out these organizations as we brace ourselves for a difficult time. Even if you can't donate at this time, a signal boost is ALWAYS welcome.

Thanks again for checking out this long long post- wishing the best for all of us. <3

[geonightman]

Please help in any way you can, i've known this person for well over a decade and they put up with so much they need a W.

So I've been trying really hard not to make this post but I've found myself in a really bad situation.

As you all know I recently moved out of my mom's for what I'm hoping is permanent. The original plan was to move to MIami with my qpp and platonic polycule and use the time I had with them to find a job in my field in Miami or at least one that would make living here sustainably. 

This ended up not working out. I’m not gonna go into details but the bare bones of it is this: I had to safety plan my way around my ( now ex) qpp’s fiancee and at one point got on an uber and left the apartment because things escalated to a point where I no longer felt emotionally safe around her. She then talked to the leasing office and I was moved without any warning and against my will. 

I’m now in a new apartment with a new roommate who doesn’t drive me to tears for forgetting things but needless to say my relationships and plans for the future are more or less in free fall right now. 

Moving with my mom or dad’s isn’t an option as the last time I stayed at my mom’s I was constantly on a hotline so I’m trying to crowdfund for a car. Miami is incredibly high in rent and it’s taken two jobs to barely make ends meet. It’s come to the point where a car isn’t just for transportation but for survival. 

If I manage to stay here, which is unlikely, a car will mean more job opportunities as I’m really limited in finding jobs right now. It’ll help me not sink too much money on Ubers which will make it easier to pay rent and also doctors appointment ( as I'm epileptic)

If the worst happens and I have nowhere to go a car will mean shelter for me and Indi ( she has to come with me wherever I go and a lot of places I could bunk at might not be dog friendly) even if I find somewhere to go if I can’t renew my lease a car would be the only way to get me and Indi there since she isn't allowed on public transit and Ubers Have turned me away because of her.

Even if I end up bunking at my mom’s ( tho I refuse to go there for longer than a week) having a car would greatly reduce me relapsing into unhealthy coping since I’ll have a way to leave the house when my brain gets bad. 

All options lead to the fact that I need a car for survival. I talked to some friends and we figured out for a used car that I would at least want to have 10 thousand. There’s also driving lessons which at the cheapest will still run me over 200 and the license will be 50 but I could swing that. The car is the main thing I need help with.

My parents are both…only sometimes supportive ( the last time I talked to my dad about living with him he said “We’d both hate each other and it’d be your fault” not only that but they’re both disabled and in their 60s so they aren’t an option even when they want to be. My siblings are also striking out on their own and don’t have anything to spare and that’s all the family I have in the states so it’s gotten to the point where I’ve had to make this post even tho I’ve really tried not to.  

If you’re in strife yourself please don’t donate but reblogs help.

If you see this would you please be so kind to share this

This is my dog Roxie (birthday coming up on April 17) she has a tumor on her shoulder. We would love to be able to get her to a vet who could do further testing to see the best form of treatment for her.

We are currently trying to fund that and her medication for any pain and inflammation she's experiencing.

Please help and SHARE! I cannot underestimate how helpful it would be to get as many eyes on this as possible.

OR ROXIE'S COFUND MY PET
