First: Henry Hound is happier than he looks in this picture. He just doesn’t like the camera.
Second: I was trying to raise money through fic commissions alone, because I hate to just ask for help without offering anything in return…
…but we just cannot seem to catch up or catch a break. Last month, the rug was pulled out from under us because of some crappy family stuff. This month, I had a job fall through at the last minute, my computer is starting to die, and Henry needs to get a bad tooth and a mysterious limp checked out.
If you can donate or even just reblog, I’d be super grateful, and I know Henry would be too! And I absolutely will write you a fic if you’d like, it just might take more time than usual.
I got negative numbers in my bank right now. I’ve not been able to get a job cause of my constantly shifting diagnosis on my mental health, and my dad lost his job recently. I’m trying to get commission work but nobody’s asking for art off me. I’m really struggling right now and I just need some money to get me through this.
I’m really sorry for always reblogging my money posts, so I’ll just condense it into this one. I need help, my guys.
so its me again. still here. so this is the situation this time
one of my girlfriends and i are trying to get an apartment together because I am currently in a shelter and she’s in her college’s dorms for the moment but when the semester is over she’ll have nowhere to go. Her parents are going to pay the security deposit and her half of 1st months rent+util but neither of us has a job and unless i can get enough money in time, we’ll both be fucked. I have about $220 right now but I need $800
please help some poor trans gals out

hey its my birthday and i have (as of about 8:15am est) slightly less than $260 out of the $800 i need to move in
Hey, Rabbie here. I’m trans and Jewish in Indiana and I’m trying really hard to make ends meet but they are not meeting and I haven’t eaten in 31 hours. The problem? This is what I have to my name:
I’m begging you, if you have anything to spare, please help if you can.
Listen, I’m sure things have improved for the OP since they started this campaign asking for donations. I’ve gone to their blog and read the few asks from people saying they donated ten or twenty dollars so I know a few people are giving and that’s great! I myself gave $25 earlier tonight.
But there’s this person who’s commented at least twice, insinuating that the OP is a liar because they have reblogged this post a few times to ask for more donations, never providing an update to the fact that they’ve already received some. They claim the OP needs to fuck off because they’re guilt-tripping people into helping them.
Maybe the OP isn’t so in the red anymore, you’re right, random harassing reblogger who could have easily not said a word and just walked away, maybe blocked the OP altogether if their begging for scraps infuriated you so badly.
But maybe, and here’s a thought, the OP might like to eat regularly. More than one meal a day like a normal person, you know? Maybe, if they reblog their own post and continue asking for help, or else make a new post asking a couple weeks after the first, it’s because things haven’t improved for the long-term or have declined again because the money that they earn for themselves ends up running to other avenues, like rent or electricity or water.
Maybe, when someone asks for help, your first instinct shouldn’t be to scrunch up your nose in disgust or to ridicule them for turning to other people in a time of need. God forbid it was you in this situation.
And the same thing can be applied to the person who replied telling the OP to get a $1 donut (or tea) from Dunkin’ Donuts. Maybe the OP doesn’t live near one or doesn’t have transportation to get there, the energy to walk there. Maybe they don’t want to eat something so unhealthy or can’t due to food intolerance/allergies. Maybe this post asking for help is more - and I’m saying it for the second time - about the long-term. A donut is great, sure, but what about later that day, or the next day?? Or the next week or two???
Bottom line, if you can’t sympathize with people when they ask for help, if you can’t be a decent person and just walk away instead of making someone feel bad for that or else offering pointless advice, then it’s time you think about what you’d hope for should you ever end up in a similar situation.
Or, you know, become a hermit and live in the middle of nowhere for the rest of your life, because you clearly don’t understand the concept of socializing/assisting your fellow humans.
Oh, also, being in debt from college and being “chronically poor” are two different things. Just thought I’d say that. Not saying that debt isn’t a huge problem, but paying off your college loans means making a plan with an advisor/the lending company (and even, depending on where you live, knowing that the debt will eventually be wiped clean if you don’t pay it off by a certain date because that’s how your country laws work). That’s not nearly the same boat as just not ever making enough money to survive and pay your daily/weekly/monthly dues without an end or plan in sight.
I’m still trying to figure out how the OP is apparently guilt-tripping us? Is it because they specified how long it’s been since they’ve eaten, because they mentioned their sexuality/gender and ethnicity? Is it because they felt so concerned about asking for help that they felt it was necessary to provide evidence that they were desperately low on funds by screencapping their bank account info and sharing it??? Someone help me out here.
I woke up to this reblog and I couldn’t help but cry. Your solidarity means so much, thank you for saying all this.
hey im alex and i just had to move out of abusive household. living w/ my transphobic mother became too dangerous and im currently staying at my bf’s place. my financial situation is pretty terrible and im trying to do commissions and find a job to pay for my debts. but im also in need of some clothes since my mother threw a lot of my older clothes away. i dont need much but i would greatly appreciate a bit of support so i can afford some cheap clothes and maybe toiletries. if someone would like to donate a small amount of money here’s the link to my paypal - www.paypal.me/amazingnessin thank u!!
Hey guys if you can, please send something Alex’s way, this is such an incredibly unfair and scary situation. He’s given a lot of amazing art to this community and it would be really, really amazing if we could give a little back.
I hate doing this. I hate it more than anything, but I need to ask tumblr for help.
This past Wednesday my cat and best friend and companion Simon had a medical emergency- he was struggling to breathe. He’d been a little weird for a week or so, but I just chalked it up to hairball troubles like he has every shedding season. I gave him the usual hairball cream and figured it would be out of his system eventually, and if not I’d get him to a vet once the holiday was over. Hairballs are not great to leave in, but they’re not so life or death that they require immediate attention right?
Except he suddenly could barely move without lying down and gasping for air, and he completely stopped eating and drinking, even when I offered him his favorite canned treats. I rushed him to the pet emergency room, and it turns out he had almost 300ml of fluid in his lungs as well as a host of other complications. (300ml is like a large cup of coffee. In my poor baby’s tiny kitty lungs!)
I waited four hours in their little waiting room for news, and in the end they decided to keep him overnight for observation, although once they drained the fluid he was breathing much easier. The next morning they told me that he’d already accumulated a tiny bit of fluid again, which means that whatever it was, we weren’t out of the woods yet. He was well enough to send home for the weekend, but I need to bring him back in for more scans to get to the root of the issue.

I really, REALLY can’t afford this. This is the worst possible timing for this kind of thing to havc happened to us. I’ve been unemployed for a while, and while I’m doing everything I can to find a job, my safety net is almost gone, and my online store is not bringing in enough money to pay the bills. Even without Simon getting sick, the next couple of months would have been a struggle to stay fed and housed.
Between hospital bills and transportation and all the other stuff going on, I’ve already shelled out over $700 on this whole situation, and that’s likely to at least double before we’re done, probably triple.
If you can send us a couple of dollars or signal boost this post, I would be incredibly grateful. Alternately, if you want to buy something from my shop, the money still comes to me and I can still use it for Simon’s treatment, only in this case you get nail polishes too.
Here are some pictures of Simon being the best cat ever and also a clingy little butt:
My friend Barbie Schaefer has Von Williebrands Disease & Platelet defect disfunction. She has been in and out of the hospital in Houston because of hemorrhaging and it is a life threatening disease. Barbie can't work, is on meds for pain, no medical insurance, and lives an hour away from the hosp...
My friend’s cousin is extremely sick and can’t work, so of course not only can she not pay for her treatment but she needs help for utilities. Please consider donating or sharing. Thank you!
since my mom finally kicked my stepdad out money’s tighter than ever and now i have to start paying the electricity and/or water bills which is like a paycheck and a half for me. i only work part time a few hours a week so i don’t make enough to pay bills and have money for food/clothes/stuff i need. i’d really appreciate it if you could help me out, even $5 would help. my paypal is PayPal.me/sangoes thank you so much
for anyone who’s looking for ways to help, SAMS (Syrian American Medical Society) has been working on the ground and are currently treating those affected by the chemical attack in Idlib. they are in need of support to continue to provide care, so donate if you’re able to or simply spread the word. thank you
