my dad passed away this morning (october 11th), and me and my family are in total shock and absolutely heartbroken. we don’t know how to process anything right now, and i’m worried about my mom. they were married for 32 years, she’s spent almost her entire adult life with my dad, and she’s not the best at really grieving and processing her emotions.
i started a youcaring to help pay for my dad’s funeral and burial services. we have enough to deal with right now without having to worry about how we can afford to bury my dad with the dignity and love he deserves.
if you can help at all, we’d be immensely grateful. if you can’t donate, please signal boost this so others can see it.
thank you in advance for your kindness and generosity.
edit: the cost of burial is outrageously high, and there’s no way we can afford it, even with everyone’s amazing generosity. we’ve decided to go with direct cremation, which is less expensive, but does still cost over $2000. plus, without a service for my dad, we want to have a reception at home for all of his friends and family, and we need money to make sure everyone is provided for and my dad is given the celebration his life deserves.
please keep donating and signal boosting, and keep me and my family in your thoughts. if you’d like to send flowers, here’s a link to his obituary on the funeral home’s website:
edit: because my mom is under 60 and not disabled herself, she most likely won’t quality to keep receiving my dad’s disability checks, so even after all of this is done we’ll be in pretty dire straits.
please keep signal boosting and donating! and thank you to those who’ve helped so far ♡
update: my brother’s 401k money arrived and will cover the cost of direct cremation, which is a huge relief, considering we weren’t sure what we would do or how we’d be able to give my dad the love and care and dignity he deserves.
but that means that anything we had planned with that money (bills, groceries, service to my brother’s car) isn’t going to happen. please, please keep signal boosting and donating, my family is hurting and scared and we just want to focus on honoring my dad right now.
Thank you so much to those that have donated and signal boosted so far. Your support means the world to me and my family. ❤
Update: we’ve reached about 30% of our goal, but we still need help. Please keep boosting and donating if you can.
Update: Still hovering around the same amount as the last time I updated. My family is still hurting and without much security in the way of income atm. Any help is appreciated.
*i know i have another post going around, but i figured i would make a new one, with updates and all relevant information.*
i’m black, i’m a chef, and i’m *still* selling recipes! my phone is going to get cut off tomorrow unless i’m able to come up with the money to pay my bill, i don’t have money for food or transportation, and *tmi* my period is coming, and i don’t have any pads, tampons, or anything. i specialize in vegan/vegetarian cooking and baking, but i can cook and do have great recipes for meat and fish as well. i can tailor recipes to fit low spoon, low cost, and dietary restrictions, too! i want good food to be accessible to everyone!
$5 will get you two recipes.
$10 will get you four, and so on and so forth!
my paypal is Paypal.me/kokomoko, and please put any dietary, cost, or spoon restrictions in the description. recipes are sent to the email associated with your paypal account unless otherwise indicated! please help me eat and keep my phone on! you get bomb ass recipes in return!! if you just want to help, and don’t want any recipes, that’s fine! i could just really use the help right now. please. <3
Anyway i can borrow 50 dollars to pay my phone bill? I need to keep my phone on so i can keep doing job search im hoping one calls me back this week but if my phone isn’t on i won’t be able to get the call. Its due in 5 days and i have like 10 dollars to my name
Donations from tumblr are literally the only reason I am not unmedicated and living on the street. There was a snow storm here, and it’s below freezing every night. And begging for money online is a humiliation. But I can’t fucking live without begging. Please, please help me, and boost! If each of my followers sent me fifteen cents I would make more than my goal! Even a single dollar helps.
I keep getting new appointments and new treatments and my body is falling apart and the winter is so so so much worse for my pain. I’m so sorry. I wish I was someone who donated instead of begging. Someday I will be. But it’s not now.
you probably guessed it from the header, and I
don’t want to take up a ton of dashboard space explaining the situation in
detail - I’m trying to get money together to safely leave my abusive
household, and survive it while I’m here. Any help you can give (even if it’s just to reblog this post) will
mean everything to me.
If you want to read the details of my
situation and know how I’ll be using any money donated, just look below:
and really,
at this point, I’m kind of at the end of my rope… the end of the line. I’m
managing, mentally/financially, even after having money taken by family, having to purchase a washing machine and fridge for the house, pay bills, etc, but it’s mostly getting harder and harder to
hide how badly I’m doing so please - anything at all will help!
You can donate directly to the fundraiser here (it goes straight into my Paypal), or to my Paypal, instead (here)!
All I want is to feel safe, stable, to not be so stressed i can’t sleep or eat or think properly. Any help you give will make my life easier to live and I’ll be eternally grateful!
When I was a kid, we lvied in Colorado for a few years. One of the lasting friendships my mum formed in her life was with our neighbours, Nancy and Tim. They had kids who were roughly the same age as me and my brother. Sadly, a few years after we moved back to New Zealand, they lost their son, aged 12. In the last 20 years, they have had several ups and downs, but they are still married, still living in the same home.
A couple of years ago, Nancy had an illness that drained their finances. They filed for bankruptcy, but have managed so far to keep their home. Now Tim has been diagnosed, and they need some help to pay for his treatments, and hopefully get through this too. Their home is still filled with memories of their son, not to mention their grown daughter and her family. So, if anyone can add to the pot or just boost the signal for them, I’d appreciate it.

“Mia Martinez is a Muslim Afro-Latina trans woman being held at the Elgin Mental Health Center (EMHC) for the past 24 years. In 1993, at the age of 17, a judge found her “not guilty by reason of insanity” for an act of survival as a young trans girl. Having known herself to be female at a very young age, Mia’s feminine gender expression and identity caused her father confusion and anger which he expressed through severe physical and psychological abuse. This abuse was continuous to which her mother and sister witnessed, being unwilling as well as unable to help her.
Despite her circumstances, Mia has begun to move forward. While at EMHC, she studied and received a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology. Her passion is to work for and help trans youth who are facing interpersonal violence. Mia has a desire to be able to provide the necessary resources and counseling services for trans youth in Chicago. But she needs our help to get out.
On November 15, 2017 Mia is scheduled for a hearing that could potentially allow her to leave EMHC and reintegrate into society here in Chicago. This would be the opportunity for Mia to be able to fulfill her dreams to provide support and care for trans youth in Chicago. We are fundraising $3,000 for her legal fees in to be able to pay her attorney for representation on this day. Anything else raised beyond this would be given to Mia as funds to reintergrate into society.
Masjid al-Rabia is an organization in Chicago that works to provide religious and spiritual support for Muslims who are marginalized in the greater Ummah (Muslim community). We support all incarcerated queer and trans Muslims through our Black and Pink Crescent program, which is a chapter of Black and Pink serving in Chicago. We currently have over 435 queer and trans Muslims who have contacted our organization for support and spiritual care. In our community we believe in fighting for justice and support for all Muslims. This is why we support and are fundraising for Mia Martinez, a member of our mosque community.“
hi guys, sorry to be so informal, but as of monday (10/16/17), i woke up in my mom’s arms for the last time to find that she had passed. i am suicidal. i am not eating. i am not taking care of myself. i cannot work as my internet has been shut off and as of now i am writing and posting from my phone.
i have no living relatives and i have never been without my mom or her guidance and i am not coping well with this.
financially, her SSI helped get the bills (mostly) paid and my cam work and art helped take care of the rest. the only support i currently have is the moral support of three unrelated friends in real life. i’m already clinically depressed, bi-polar, i have intermittent explosive disorder, i have chronic PCOS, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue, and more.
i’m trying to make it through this and carry on, for her. i need help. please. just a single dollar or even change would be helpful as of right now. i’m currently due $75 to internet, past due on water $54 (likely breaking my payment arrangement), and in terms of a memorial, $4,290 and after the state helps with $2,395 i’m left with $1,895 to pay out of pocket.
i’m truly grateful for anyone who even reads this, much less to anyone who donates. this is the hardest thing i have ever done and the most pain i have ever endured.
please boost this if you can, i still REALLY need help and i’m already starting to recieve november bills and i’m honestly having a huge, extremely long panic attack that i can’t escape.
UPDATE! STILL NEED HELP DESPERATELY!!
i got the internet taken care of, it’s expected to be on by friday, nov 3rd. i’m working out my water situation, but i still don’t have the funds to have my mom cremated and get her back home to me.
i haven’t been eating to keep what little i have in my pocket to save for that purpose, and november bills have already started arriving. i’m drowning in anxiety and worry. my body is starting to really show the side effects of not eating. i’m scared, desperate, very alone, and trying to stay alive and keep pushing.
i have put in applications for work at several places within walking distance but i haven’t heard anything back yet. please pray that i get a call back!
PLEASE, IF YOU CAN, HELP! I’m grateful for every cent!!
PLEASE BOOST!! my internet has still not been set back up and i am almost entirely out of data on my phone, idek how i’m gonna pay my phone bill at this point.
Despite ~33 pages’ disability evidence, a heavily criticised gov. department

cut all of my care
I’ve been living in CONSTANT FEAR FOR MY LIFE for MONTHS. Most can’t fathom how this utterly destroys you, physically & mentally.
This fundraising is literally to prevent me from dying from dehydrating if carers can’t bring food and water to me; I can’t leave my bed.
Without regular cleaning, my lease could be terminated next month. Finding accessible housing (less than 1% of all homes) is
virtually impossible & NO ONE CAN SURVIVE HOMELESSNESS BED BOUND.
