Hey, so guess who has a financial emergency to share for HERSELF for once? Please donate if you can and share regardless. I'm considering getting a second job but I'd like not to work 60+ hour weeks again if I can help it. I can also do things like editing or writing fanfiction for donations; feel free to suggest other compensation.

Hello if you were following my blog you’ll know that I was scammed. I need to raise $1700 in 28 days. If I reach my goal I will be at a balance of $0 so if you can still help I’d appreciate it as I am desperately poor.
Prices and commission terms of service more info under readmore
Please note that because of the time sensitivity I can’t take downpayments. I need the full cost up front. These prices are only available during the 28 day deadline. These come with minimal revisions as I will have to do a lot of them so please be clear about what you want. Please provide descriptions, refs, and poses. I will choose a pose if not. I can build from a concept but that will be a $10 charge if I have to gather refs myself. I will be streaming as much as I can on twitch
Contact me on tumblr, discord enby-hawke#3224, or email [email protected] with your gofundme reciept. You can also pay me directly through my wife’s online bank account. (Please ignore the tag she’s a...cancer)
If you do want these to match the quality of my samples I will need to give these proper time. I prefer to give fully rendered heads three hours and I do not want my quality to slip if I can help it.
You can track my commission queue here. It will be first come first serve if possible unless an artpiece inspires me. Please give a few days to a few weeks or longer depending on where you are in the queue.

Home Nursing Advice Column #4: When and Where to Get Medical Help
Insurance issues aside, there are 4 basic levels of care one can access in the USA.
The first is taking care of yourself. Typically, you do not need to see a doctor or any medical professional for colds, small injuries (strains and sprains that don't impact movement, cuts that don't gap and aren't deep and that aren't on the face or knuckles), most fevers that last less than 2 days and don't have other symptoms, diarrhea lasting less than 3 days, or mild allergic reactions. If you need assistance with how to take care of these things, call a doctor's office or emergency department or your insurance and ask to speak with a nurse.
The second is primary care- Ideally, you have a primary care doctor (or office with several doctors) and you are going to that office for everything except the most time sensitive medical emergency.
If you have insurance or the money to pay for a visit out of pocket, it is always a good idea to "establish" with a primary care office. That way, if you need a sick visit, you can get in very quickly, usually within 24-48 hours. If you don't establish first, that's when you get the weeks or even months before you can be seen. If you need to be seen at an office you have established with, ask for a "sick visit". There are appointment slots set aside each day for sick visits.
Use general primary care visits to refill prescriptions, manage chronic illnesses, get routine preventative care and vaccines.
Use sick visits if you have a sprain or strain that does impact movement or ability to bear weight, the flu if you are high risk, infections, exacerbations of existing conditions you have sought treatment for previously, or other minor conditions that require a prescription, labwork, or imaging to treat.
The third is urgent care. Urgent care is essentially halfway between an emergency department and a primary care office. Some of these have lab or x-ray equipment on site, some do not.
Use urgent care if you have not established with a primary care office or can't get in to your primary care office in time, and have the above problems, or if you have a minor broken bone, diarrhea that has lasted longer than 3 days or hasn't responded to OTC meds, allergic reactions that don't impact airway but have not responded to OTC meds, a cut that is deep or gapes, or other moderate problems.
Use Emergency Departments as an option if you are experiencing a LIFE-THREATENING EMERGENCY or as a final option after everything else has been exhausted. Life-threatening emergencies include: choking, allergic reactions that have required the use of epinephrine or are impacting the ability to breathe, breathing less than 8 times per minute or more than 30 per minute at rest for an adult, sudden onset confusion, a fall of more than the height of the person who fell with new pain in the head, neck or back, new-onset severe pain that you don't know the cause of, severe trauma (gunshot wound, injury from farm equipment, amputations, etc...), rape, severe bleeding that you can't control or required a tourniquet to stop, unconsciousness, etc...

Do you have a good way to get started building an emergency fund/investing for someone who can maybe spare at the most $100 a month? I am desperate for a safety net but i don’t know where to start and have just been stashing it in my standard savings.
Not to worry, my pet! Here are our emergency fund how-to articles:

hey all, the parents of my best friend of over 10 years just lost their entire house to a horrible accident that has pretty much taken nearly everything from them, including one of their dogs. i just wanted to share their gofundme in case anyone is willing to help them out, last i heard they’re both in the hospital and recovering but this will be an extremely deep financial burden on them on top of an emotional and mental one.
please donate if you can or share around, anything helps and is greatly appreciated 💖
#signal boost#please reblog#emergencies#gofundme#please donate#donations needed#on top of the fact that this is just horrible in an of itself#it's also fucking with me because i spent a good amount of time at this house when i was younger#so i feel like i've lost it too

Posting on here for the first time in forever in a time of need. Hoping I can reach more people this way. My 6 year old German Shepherd has been in the hospital since Friday receiving emergency medical care and the costs are piling up. I have started a gofundme to hopefully help with some of the costs. I already work two jobs, but one of them I was only able to start a few weeks ago and really haven’t been able to make much from yet. His bills are currently around $11.5k, and we’re optimistic that this last diagnostic test will be the one that finally gives us an answer, so the costs should stop adding up as quickly as we move from the diagnostic phase to the treatment phase. His prognosis is good as of right now and he is currently responding to treatment, which leaves the vet optimistic that he will be able to overcome whatever this is. I have applied for financial aid through the animal hospital and through various funds in the US and Massachusetts to help cover the costs but we are still a couple thousand under the total. If anyone is able to donate, it would mean the world to me, if not, sharing means just as much because hopefully it can get this out to more people. There is more info about his case in the gofundme link, and I also have venmo if some prefer to not donate through gofundme. Thank you for reading 🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻

GoFund.me/bbadceea Please help my aunt keep my mother's house. My mom would have been 66 on Monday, Feb 12th if not for being prescribed hydroxyzine! It takes paying a lawyer to inherit a fully paid off house. My mom lived in that house for 40 years. Please help us keep it in the family.

Hi there! It's me, surprise! I don't know how many people will actually read this, I hardly ever make text posts like this, but this is extremely important. My friend and his wife and kids are losing their house, and has had to essentially put everything else in their life on hold. You don't have to donate, and you certainly shouldn't if you don't have the means, but it would mean the world to me if you did. Even if it's just 2 cents, every. Penny. Counts. If you yourself are going through hard times, first of all, I'm sorry and hope things get better, and second, it's a-okay. If you want to reblog because times are tough, it's just as greatly appreciated. I'm posting the link here for anybody who wants to donate and/or reblog. Thank you so much for taking time to read this absolute wall of text.

Hello all. I'm doing another fundraiser this time for someone very dear to my heart.
You all know that I'm building a filipino decolonization server with @marhikit. Well recently their tablet broke and this is their only source of income. They were not able to make a gofundme for themself so I'm doing one on their behalf.
I'm offering discount commissions to help out and incentivising people to donate. 30 percent off of the total for anything you order.
Please note time frame for commissions range from 2 weeks to 3 months depending on the complication of your order.
Please consider donating at least $1 (I will thank you with a headshot sketch)
You can send your reciept in a dm or at [email protected]
Please note the tablet I want to buy is $250 right now but I don't know how long the sale will last hence the high price.
If you can't donate a reblog would help immensely
#emergencies#gofundme#mutual aid#help needed#fundraisers#My friend says if we only can buy a basic tablet they would settle for that#But I think they deserve better

A $100ish 30-Day Box
When I think about the word prepper, I tend to think about individuals who store guns, ammo, and freeze-dried food for a singular Event(TM) that they will have to survive, probably involving roving bands of marauders coming for their wives and guns.
I personally think the risk of this exact type of scenario is low. But given recent events (It's 2022 and I don't think we're ever seeing 2019 again, etc...), I do think a stepwise semi-collapse- one that could most heavily impact low wage workers and minorities- is currently happening and will continue over the course of our lives.
And if you feel you may be vulnerable to some of these steps (another pandemic, say, or unchecked inflation, or a housing crisis, or a series of major natural disasters, or a period of civil unrest in your area, or a combination that adds up to you living in a van with no usable monetary resources), you may want to consider having a box with everything you need to live for 30 days in a bad situation.
This is not a bug-out bag. It will have 30 days worth of food and supplies in it. You are not going to be able to carry it. This is the bargain version where you will need to either shelter in place (like non-essential workers in 2020) or leave in a vehicle (say you get evicted suddenly, or need to evacuate because of a disaster).
And listen, you can get some of these things used or at salvage if that is an option near you. Sometimes that will be cheaper, sometimes not. Use your best judgement. I recommend a mix of new, used, and salvage based on your needs and access.
Containers:
18-gal tote ($8-10 new, you'll need one for every 2 people, but easy to find used or you may already have some)
Gallon freezer bags or other smaller containers ($3-5 depending on number) these are to help organize the rest of the stuff
Supplies: Note that most of these are the cheapest of the cheap- you're looking for things you'll be fine with putting in a box and forgetting about and not actually wanting to take out and use unless you have to. Don't put cool stuff in here.
Metal mug or other food-safe container (pick one you already have)
Microwave-safe mug or other food-safe container (pick one you already have)
Cutlery (recommend fork and spoon, assuming you can pick some you already have)
Pocket knife or multitool (you can get weird keychain versions for like $3, but if you already have one or want to invest in something slightly better this is a good place to do so, but again, nothing cool)
Matches ($1)
A flashlight and batteries or rechargeable with charger ($5 online or at a grocery store checkout line. does not have to be fancy)
Phone charger cord and block ($2-5)
A large tin/aluminum can (to make a crappy lil rocket stove with if you need to- here's a slightly more elegant 3-can version). If you're smart put one in that still has something tasty in it.
Car cigarette lighter USB charger if your car has a cigarette lighter (these used to be given away with brand names on them so they're surprisingly not hard to find used for less than a$1, but if you can't find one used you'll spend about $5)
Fuel- put some wax in the box (maybe like a big-ish old candle you got as a gift but don't really like). If you can melt it over some tightly packed cardboard and put it under a 30oz can with some holes punched in it, bam you have a stove. When you run out of that cut a bigger hole in the base of the can and build a lil fire under it. Free rocket stove baby.
Permanent marker (assuming you have one of these)
Pencil and paper (assuming you have some of these)
Food: This will be about $50 more per additional person, maybe less for young children.
20lb/person White Rice- this is a cheap filler that takes up relatively little space. (about $10/person)
10lb/person Brown Rice- this is a slightly less cheap filler that takes up little space but has fiber and other nutrients please don't skimp on this (about $8/person)
10lb/person Dry beans- get a variety here. Protein and fiber. You can eat these or sprout these for variety and more nutrition in very little time (About $10/per person if mostly pintos)
1 gal/person Vegetable Oil- this is your fat. You need fat. Get something you're not allergic to and if you can splurge this is where to do it- get something like olive, coconut, grapeseed, or canola ($8 for canola, the cheapest I could find this in pure olive was about $21)
NOTE: You may have done the math and thought (Gee, that's like twice the number of calories I need in a month! Yeah, but now you're cold and scared and eating your feelings. You'll want plenty of something, and it might as well be beans).
Multivitamin- get enough for everyone to have one every other day or so, since you're living on rice and beans. Does not have to be a good one. Whatever the cheapest one they have at whatever pharmacy or supermarket you're in is, even if it's for kids or whatever. You're not going to get serious deficiencies without it over the course of 30 days, but it may help you feel better and dampen food cravings).
Flavor- garlic, chili, and onion flakes, spices, herbs, soup mix packets, dip mix packets, hot sauce, vinegar powder, lime or lemon granules/concentrate, you really want this and it takes up so little space, trust me. (Put in what you've got or this can get pricey ...but it's kind of worth it)
Water:
Get a cheap filter (like a replacement filter that fits on a standard disposable water bottle) for sediment only and boil if unsure of water quality on your stove (see supplies)/in a microwave ($3). You can also just pour through a piece of old tee-shirt and boil.
OR get a nice filter like a sawyer or lifestraw, though these will easily put you over budget ($20)
Medical:
OTC Meds: I recommend acetaminophen, ibuprofen (can be taken with acetaminophen if needed), diphenhydramine, docusate sodium, loperamide, and anything else you use regularly (about $2 each ($10 total) generic)
Prescription Meds: if you take prescription meds, ask your doc for an extra 30-day supply of each for an emergency. You may have to pay out of pocket for this as insurance may not cover it. If you cannot afford that ask for a paper script with a year-long fill window (or however long they can give you for a particular med). Note that this will probably not work for controlled substances like testosterone or narcotics.
First aid supplies like band aids, cortisone cream, petroleum jelly (use instead of neosporin, seriously it works better, has far more uses, and no one is allergic to it), tape, and an ace wrap (spend about $10 total on this).
Caffeine if you consume it or get headaches frequently- tea is usually cheapest and easiest to prepare but instant coffee works here too (100 pack of the cheapest tea bags at aldi is like $2)
Nicotine if you consume it. Get lozenges instead of patches. I don't have a price on this but crises are not historically the most successful time to quit and you're probs going to need to be functional. If you have something to use instead you're less likely to buy crazy expensive cigs. Consider quitting or decreasing use in prep if you can, but, you know, keep these in your kit.
Hygiene:
Bar soap 2-4 bars. Get like two of the cheapest bars possible and one fels naptha. This sounds like a lot but you're probably going to be using it for everything- clothing, body, hands, dishes, etc... ($2-3)
Toothbrush (1 per person) and a full-size tube of toothpaste ($3)
Bug spray (you can get 2oz of 100% DEET for like $3 and mix with a carrier liquid)
Sunscreen ($5, though you can get it cheaper at expiration, it will only last about a year after)
You want me to say toilet paper but I'm not going to. Get a small plastic cup or a squeezy water bottle and boom you have a bidet. Wipe the water off with a wash cloth and hang to dry. Everyone should have their own and wash their hands after with soap.
Throw some masks in here. N95s if you have them but at the very least cloth ones and I know you have some you may not be using right now.
Entertainment:
Put some books or small games or something in here if you have extra space. And learn some games and recipes for the beans.
Put the rice and beans at the bottom. Sort everything and put it in bags, then layer those bags up to the top. Done.
Also, make a list of everything in the box and tape it to the top, possibly sorted by what bag each thing is in, which will help keep it organized. Next to anything with an expiration date, write the expiration date. Check the list yearly 2 months prior to your normal disaster season. That should give you time to update and replace things if needed.
You're also going to want to get some knoweldge- think about what you'll need to know to use this stuff. Do you know how to use a cup of water as a bidet? How to stretch DEET? How to use bar soap to wash dishes? All 4-6 uses for diphenhydramine? How to sprout beans and/or brown rice?

Many of America’s 42.5 million disabled people who have faced hazards like extreme weather, hurricanes, and wildfires in recent years have stories where the essential resources needed during an emergency were inaccessible to them. These shortcomings in the nation’s emergency preparedness, response, and recovery systems will only become more pronounced and deadlier for disabled folks as climate change–related disasters become more intense and widespread. Disabled people are already two to four times more likely to die or sustain critical injuries during a disaster.
Experts say the root cause of this condemnable statistic is disabled people being blocked from every stage of the emergency management process. “We are excluded from the tables where these conversations are happening and the decisions are being made,” said Germán Parodi, co-executive director of the Partnership for Inclusive Disaster Strategies, or PIDS, a disability-led organization focused on ensuring equity for disabled people before, during, and after emergencies. ...
Community-based organizations, friends, and even a doctor offered support where government agencies did not. This is the case for many disabled people, as independent organizations, many of them disability-led, work to plug gaps in the nation’s disaster preparedness, response, and recovery systems. Representatives at these organizations say they want resources to serve their communities and a seat at the table to shape national conversations about emergency management.

EDIT 11/15/22: everyone - Josie worsened extremely quickly and was discovered to have Myelomalacia. this is not a fixable condition and Josie was euthanized tonight. there is no more need to donate funds. thank you for sharing the post around in attempts to help. 💙
friends - Dakota of @magic-in-every-book needs financial help. this is extremely important and time sensitive. please consider donating whatever you can, thank you so much.
please share this around even if you can't afford to help! we need as much exposure as we can get.
Josie is my best friend's youngest dog, and last Thursday was taken to the emergency vet for a slipped disk in her spine. She was given pain meds and direction to rest for a minimum of four weeks to heal, at risk of paralysis otherwise. If she could not recover, the family would be looking at expensive surgery to fix her spine. She was doing well initially, but her condition has worsened considerably since then, and surgery is now necessary within the next few days. If this is not achieved, she will be in too much pain and have to be euthanized. The surgery will cost $6,000-$8,000, and the family has barely half the money to cover it.
We are looking to raise $4,000. Funds will go directly to Dakota Gibson, my friend and owner of the three-year-old rat terrier Josie in Indiana. My name is Jen Ward. I live in Pennsylvania and have been good friends with Dakota and her family for the last eight years. I have volunteered to run this fundraiser on Dakota's behalf since she is immensely emotionally distressed. All funds will go directly to the Gibsons for Josie's emergency life-saving surgery. If enough funds are not raised in time, they will go towards Josie's cremation after her euthanization.
Please donate if you can, and share if you can't. Time is of the essence, and I want to try to reach as many people who can donate as possible within the next 2-3 days. Please, please, please help. Josie is the sweetest little girl, and her family has already been through enough financial hardship. A dog shouldn't have to die just because medical treatment is too expensive.
Thank you very much for your time, your empathy and your generosity. Please help.
