Guys please!
I need money now.
Not in a week. Not in three. (Though I'll need it then too) But right now I need to move. I need to be out of my apartment and into another before next month. Please please please please reblog these posts.
GOFUNDME POST
NECESSITY POST
Besides these I need to start putting funds aside for the first and last months rent as well as a deposit on a place. IDK what even that will be like because IDK even where to start looking but I'm thinking at the very least 3K but most likely more since this is Portland and America where only the rich get to have living wages and then some.
I really need your help! Linking my GoFundMe page here. You can also send donations to me via PayPal at [email protected].
Please. I'm so close to getting fully back on me feet. I'm feeling hope and joy again.
Please help it stay this way. Please reblog and if you're able, please donate! I need your help! Please.

21 September 2022: URGENT Disabled US family overseas in danger of separation and imprisonment in bureaucratic/medical nightmare
TL;DR: Through no fault of our own, we have a little over a month (possibly two) to come up with an estimated 7,000 USD--possibly more--in visa overstay fees, clearance fees, and travel expenses (even though we COULDN'T leave before) or risk possible separation from our daughter and indefinite imprisonment until those fees are paid. 
We ( @anexperimentallife, our daughter, and I) are a US family in the Philippines who, through a combination of illness, lockdowns, complicated  pregnancy, a mistake on our daughter's birth certificate, and sluggish bureaucracy, have been unable to leave the country with our baby daughter. Now that we've gotten past most of the bureaucratic hurdles raised by both the Philippines and US, we're being charged for involuntarily (and I stress that it was involuntary) overstaying our visas while we waited for them to sort things out. The Philippines jails people who cannot pay their overstay fees indefinitely, until someone pays them. We have no idea what would happen to our daughter if worse comes to worst.
We could have afforded all the fees if not for all the unexpected illnesses, pregnancy complications, and bureaucratic issues, which we already had to spend a heavy chunk of donations on.
We've already gone over 13,000 USD in debt for all this, despite previous donations, and our only income is Rob's disability, since I (Zoey) am not legally allowed to work here.
Here are our donation links. We prefer pay pal donations, because they take the lowest fees, but we can also accept donations through go fund me and ko-fi.
pay pal: https://href.li/?https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=AAPN4HRA9YLA4
ko fi: https://href.li/?https://ko-fi.com/anexperimentallife
go fund me: https://href.li/?https://www.gofundme.com/f/family-riding-out-covid-overseas
Thank you all again, beyond words!
In-depth explanation:
The long version (and story to date): We are an interracial, neurodivergent, disabled US couple in the Philippines (*see below for explanation). Rob got sick, and nearly died, at the very beginning of COVID (March 2020), and had to be hospitalized literally the day the first lockdown started. Unbeknownst to anyone, this would be the start of nearly two years of lockdowns and inter-city travel restrictions that changed sometimes overnight with zero notice. There were occasions when people who were already in the air were not allowed to enter. Even if not for the lockdown, Rob's doctors agreed that his health was too fragile for travel with the possibility of getting COVID again.
A few months later, still under lockdown, and with our visas about to expire, we found out we were having a baby. There were complications that required me (Zoey) to be hospitalized twice during the pregnancy, and Eleanor was delivered by C Section in March of 2021 (still under lockdown). Also, by this time, we were having to pay overstay fees because Rob’s visa had expired.
An error on El’s birth certificate prevented us from registering her as a US citizen, meaning she could not get a passport, meaning that even if we (Rob and Zoey) could leave the country, Eleanor could not come with us. We did not find this out until August 2021, when we were trying to register her with the US embassy. (Again, since travel restrictions changed at times with no notice, we could not take the chance on leaving the country without knowing when or if we'd be allowed back to reunite with our daughter.)
Thus began a bureaucratic fight with the Philippines bureaucracy that took nearly a year’s time, two lawyers--one of whom had to sweat an affidavit that fifteen was a larger number than fourteen--a priest, pediatric vaccination records a pediatrician’s word, a baby book, a newspaper publication of our daughter’s birth, and a favor from a friend, just to get the Philippines to correct her birth certificate. (If you're wondering how hellish the bureaucracy is here, one of our local friends is still officially named "Baby Boy" in his forties, despite years of his best efforts.)
In the middle of our legal battle in October 2021, Rob got COVID (again), nearly died (again), and had to be on an oxygen machine for a month. Shortly afterwards, the left side of his face also became temporarily paralyzed from blood clots, and clots unseated the retina in his right eye–he’s still in treatment, but the doctors aren't sure he will ever fully recover.
In May of 2022, the Philippines finally gave us El’s “corrected” birth certificate (with a different middle name than the one we chose for her, but we couldn’t afford another ten-month legal battle).
After this, I emailed the embassy to be certain that we would have an appointment shortly after submitting all our paperwork and the necessary forms. They emailed back and said yes, we would have an appointment between 3 and 10 business days from the date that they received our paperwork. So we planned our long and expensive trip down to Manila, and once we were there we sent in our paperwork. After a few days we get an email saying that our appointment was scheduled for the END OF AUGUST. This was in June, so they screwed us over majorly. It cost us over 200 USD just to get down to Manila, and over 1300 USD to stay there.
While we were in Manila, we finally decided to get an evaluation of Rob’s ingrown and chronically infected big toenails. At this point he had had the nails removed at least 3 times during COVID lockdown in Baguio, and they kept regrowing and becoming infected over a period of two years. During the consultation it was determined the nail bed would need to be cauterized to prevent the nails from becoming ingrown and reinfected. To have this done in a satisfactory medical facility cost us 800 USD. We had to stay in Manila an additional 2 weeks or so following this, and spent another 200 USD to get home.
During the preparation for Rob’s surgery, his blood pressure was alarmingly elevated, so after we got home to Baguio we had him consult with a cardiologist and have made medical and dietary changes to mitigate this. (This is apparently another effect of long COVID.)
His toes were still infected and resisting all the antibiotics that had been tried, so he had to go see an infection specialist and have testing done to make sure his bones weren’t infected. Luckily they weren’t, and after an actual wound culture (which no one had thought to do until after two years of this) and this latest round of heavy duty antibiotics, it is finally cleared up.
That brings us to August 2022, when we went back down to Manila again for our appointment scheduled with the Embassy. Luckily everything went well, we had all the correct documentation, and Eleanor was formally declared a US citizen. It’s been a couple weeks since then and we now have her passport. Rob and I were also able to get married over Zoom through the Utah court system, which is a huge relief for us and something to bring us some joy in this whole mess.
Unfortunately, this is not the end of our ordeal. We still have Eleanor’s immigration fees to pay and we have to secure an exit clearance for each of us before we can leave the country to reset our tourist visas. The hope and the goal is for us to be able to get the SRRV, which may be anywhere from 5,000 to 12,000 USD, which will allow us to stay here without the hassle and expense we’ve been going through, even if there’s another lockdown.
Everyone’s monetary and emotional support through this whole thing has been so wonderful, and we are so grateful to you all. Hopefully we’re able to resolve this soon but even after we get things somewhat settled, we still have an overwhelming amount of credit card debt staring us right in the face.
(* “Why were you in the Philippines to begin with?” After Rob's two adult sons died, he moved to the Philippines both to fulfill a decades-long dream, and to make his disability payments stretch further, as it’s basically impossible to live on in the US. I started talking to him online a few months later, and eventually flew over to be with him. Until COVID, everything was fine here financially--a family of three can easily live on under a thousand USD a month here.
It was only all the bureaucratic and legal hassle stemming from El’s birth certificate error, covid, the national lockdown, and the unexpected medical issues that put us in a tight spot. It’s fairly common for people to move to the Philippines on a tourist visa, renew every two months for 40 dollars until they hit the three year mark, at which point they have to leave the country for a day to reset. Thanks to ever-changing travel restrictions, Rob's health, and then El's stateless status, we were unable to do this.)

Hey sorry for posting something like this but I'm really having quite a dire emergency. My partner and I are currently homeless and staying at a hotel. We're trying our best to get by but we have nothing in case one thing goes wrong. So far we have had daily panicking to get money to pay for each tomorrow and I'm hoping this will give us at least a little wiggle room.
We have applied for foodstamps and multiple jobs, waiting for literally anyone to get back to us but so far no such luck

Hey guys
I really hate doing this, but we've got our electric bill that's due from last month that I need to get paid by tomorrow or we're getting our power turned off again. We've got most of it in the bank, but we're shy by $134.82. If anyone could send something to help us out, I would be so happy and relieved. Please and thank you, please share around if you see this post.

alright. time to do some e-begging.
so, you all know the news. america's going to fuckshit in a waste basket all because rich politicians wanna play god. and i'm tired of playing. i want to be safe and away from this nightmare. i'm gonna take a fellow trans person with me, to a country where we can both be safe and free to transition and live comfortably without having to go into hiding. on top of which, i'm putting in effort to find a disability-accessible country so that neither he nor i will have to worry about that getting in the way should a Situation arise.
every dollar helps, and with the dollar (or however much you care to spend) you will get a choice of either a tarot reading with a pendulum swing should you so desire, or a coloured sketch.
please help me get us both safe from our respective countries. thank you. so very much.

‼️HELP A HOMELESS ARTIST AND THEIR FAMILY‼️
((reblogs also help us as well!))
Hi, my name is Link and my family and I (father and younger sibling) have been homeless for two years and a half now (since November 2021). It's a long story but in short, my father fell into a diabetic coma and lost his job, leaving him without a home since he mainly lived in his truck. My sibling and I were also being forced to leave our homes, so it was a very sad coincidence 🥲 my friend, who's home I had to leave due to family medical issues, drove us to the nearest motel and I've been doing commissions to support us ever since.
We're living day by day with the commissions I and my sibling recieve and recently, work has been very scarce. Most days, like today, we're staying up all night and afternoon to pay for our room that we're trying to stay in and we barely have any food for the week. I'm hoping to get enough to pay for at least today and something to eat for tonight.
We don't have any family support (each side of the family has refused to help and has cut us off) and no friend support from any of us, so we've been doing things ourselves from the start. We'd really appreciate any kind of help we could get, especially with the way things are going right now. I'll be putting my prices and contact info below if anyone is interested (my pms are open as well!) Thank you for taking the time to read this and for sharing this or any help you give us if you do, it really means a lot to us.
My turnaround time per commission is up to a week - two weeks for smaller commissions and up to two weeks — a month for bigger commissions since I'm usually busy with starting/finishing other commissions because I have to take on a lot at once to maintain our living situation. If you ever need an immediate update aside from my normal updates between stages, please let me know! As for payment, it will be made upfront with no refunds since we need to use them right away either for the room or food and don't have the extra funds to repay in case someone would want a fund.

Hey y'all. I'm a 19yo man with chronic pain and health issues, and my work hasn't paid me in over a month due to multiple errors in their systems they expected me to solve (despite when contacting my bank, being told that I cannot do anything, but my employer can, and even after providing my employer with proper contact information.)
So, while I work on contacting the labor board, I'm in need of money. I need to be able to afford my meds and food. If you'd like, after you throw some change my way, you can send me a message here requesting a doodle. I'd be happy to oblige.
I have no set goal, but my meds cost me around $75.
Thanks for reading, thanks for considering, thanks for being here. I appreciate it. Contact under picture.
* Note - PLEASE avoid tagging with blocked dono tags. Thanks!!

Cat Litter/Food Necessity
Hey guys. I'm sure you've seen a few of my posts requesting financial assistance and while that all is still VERY MUCH NEEDED, I've got a need that is time sensitive. I need to get car litter for my babies as well as a bag of cat food.
That would be 60 dollars in total needed.
If anyone is willing to help me and my kitties out with this, I could really use this today so I can make the purchase.
Thank you from me and my babies!
You can send the funds to my PayPal at [email protected].
Thank you! 💜💜💜💜💜

Help Disabled Queer System get some funds
So, our only plausible job at the moment is house sitting plus our commissions and at the moment we've been so wound up due to lack of funds we haven't been able to complete any.
However, the only way to become a house sitter in our area is through a website called trusted house sitters who require a monthly fee oh 10.75 a month. (Though we would like the middle because it comes with the insurance)
Tumblr media
And on top of that, we need new clothes. Including pants and underwear because we only have one pair of the latter that doesn't have holes in it. As well as just having, not summer pants, only winter and last summer we had to go mostly pantless because it would easily get over a hundred degrees and we have no ac and we would like to not have to do that again, thanks.
And we need toothpaste because our parents thinks that we shouldn't have fluoride in our toothpaste and I don't want my teeth to rot thank you very much.
And of course last but not least, food. Just we need safe foods that we're able to eat as the only safe ones we have are fruit roll ups and marshmallows and those aren't exactly healthy.
So I guess we're saying we're probably looking for about $200 all together um. We crotchet and write things as well as a few other things you can see below.
