the smoke from the wildfires in canada are crossing the atlantic and is now bringing a haze to the nordic countries

it's said that the soot from the smoke will deposit onto the snow and ice of the arctic which will in turn increase local warming (i.e worst wildfires, ice sheets melting, oceans warming and rising, stronger tropical cyclones, etc. etc.)

From the NY Times (and other sources):

Ways to Help

The Canadian Red Cross: Every $1 donated to the Canadian Red Cross will become $3 to support those affected by wildfires. The funds will be directed to people living in Nova Scotia and other Atlantic provinces, some of the hardest hit areas, for immediate and ongoing relief and recovery efforts as well as community preparedness initiatives.

United Way: The Canadian federal government joined the government of the Northwest Territories in a similar matching program to support disaster relief and recovery efforts. The funds will be used to support nonprofit community groups who are helping local residents.

Donate a Mask: This volunteer-run charity ships free N95-equivalent masks to anyone in Canada who requests them, with priority to Canadians who cannot afford or do not have access to high-quality masks.

Firefighters Without Borders: This Ontario-based nonprofit donates equipment and training to communities across Canada and in other countries.

Odawa Native Friendship Centre: The Odawa NFC is a nonprofit organization serving the Indigenous community in the Ottawa-Carleton region and is currently collecting donations for First Nation evacuees (with “wildfire evacuees” as the donation type). On Facebook, the NFC noted that it can no longer accept clothing donations.

Canadian Interagency Forest Fire Centre (CIFFC): Live map of the fires. Updated daily.

APTN National News: Newspaper on the Indigenous Peoples of Canada. Can be used to understand how the climate is affecting the Inuit, Métis, and First Nations.

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.

Emergency mutual aid request

Alright so as predicted the apartments rejected our application (I fucking knew it. $100 down the shitter) and there's like, nowhere else available until November. Which means....Roommate is going to stay with his mother and I will likely be sleeping rough. I'd like to avoid that (especially during a pandemic spike thanks to the Eris variant which will be rocketing around the city shelters). My chronically ill ass will probably not make it lmao.

And I dont really have any couch surfing options.

Surprisingly it wasnt my application that rejected us but a third party with too much medical debt. Which he didnt tell us about.

Anyhow I know I wont find a place for myself within ten days but if I had another 30 days I might have a chance, so, I'm hoping to check into a cheapo extended stay for a month.

Cheapest I can find is for $1500ish

I set up a ko-fi goal here

or

My cashapp is $kingsevil

Any $$ left over is going toward a storage unit for my things. Afterwards, well, ball is in my court I guess. Gotta find a place!

❗️Mutual Aid Needed🦐

Hello hello, I am Woz, I am a trans guy from the global south, and outside of my day job in corporate, I am an artist. I am the breadwinner of my family, and I also get my younger sibling through school.

For a little more than half a decade I have been suffering with bad mental health and suicidal thoughts, on top of trying to keep my family afloat with what I can earn.

I work two jobs to earn money, on top of tabling at conventions to be able to earn extra on the side. I am the one who pays all the house bills, some groceries, often having to send money to my sibling for school and sometimes tuition. Due to the constant pressure from overworking and the abusive social environment I have been exposed to for the longest time, I am now experiencing bodily pains, shortness of breath, headaches, worsening eyesight, and worsened depression as I clock in 10-15 hours almost daily (including weekends and holidays) trying to make ends meet.

I’m humbly asking for your help so I can get proper healthcare, which has been out of my reach for the longest time due to poverty. I was hoping to be able to afford help a few years ago, as soon as I got a job, but ever since the pandemic, the local price hikes just kept going, and going, until the matter was off the table entirely. The biggest reason why I am trying to get this moving now and as urgently as possible is so I can still receive treatment while I am still mentally and physically able to take charge of my own health.

While I’m still more or less able to function well enough to work, I recently escaped an abusive situation, which was one of the biggest causes of my misery. The fallout from this event brought on a severe impact on my mental health and I was subject to a cult-like shunning by my old community. This has caused me to develop suicidal thoughts again, which eventually led to several self-delete attempts, the latest of which almost succeeded had I not been caught at literally the last second.

At the moment I am stable again and in the hands of trusted loved ones, but I still do not have access to professional help and I don’t know how long this stability will last and the next thing might cause me to spiral again.

We already did some research on getting local help and have a plan in motion, all we need now is the funds to carry it out. The bulk of it will be for the initial consultations and possibly medication, and we’re hoping to have enough to get the ball rolling for a couple months’ worth of treatment as I get myself back on track.

The initial process will be the most expensive as I am suspecting to have an undiagnosed condition that I would like to have checked, as well as possible medication. I do not have a disability ID yet (but I plan on getting one once I get a dx on paper), so we may have to pay full price for initial treatments.

Currently, my primary goal for this would be to achieve psychiatric help, diagnosis, medication, and therapy.

If I’m able to save up for a few months of maintenance and still have extra left over, my secondary goal would be to finally get my knees checked, as I have chronic pain and the occasional kneecap dislocation in them. This has been left unchecked for more than 15 years due to both poverty as well as being outright denied healthcare by the adults around me due to them downplaying the problem. I am nearing my 30s soon. While I’m still able to walk and engage in physical activities without the use of mobility aids, I fear that the complications from this condition if left untreated will only take a turn for the worse as I age.

Direct ways to support me:

Paypal:

Ko-Fi:

I have prints! You can pick up some of my art here:

We do not have a set price goal in mind as it will be a months-long process of beginning treatment and maintaining it, but rest assured all funds received will be set aside for the purpose of my healthcare and well-being only.

I still cannot escape many factors of my life that continue to hurt me, but I am hoping that continuous treatment, therapy, and support will help keep me going so I can keep my family fed without me having to worry about my own health.

Any donation, big or small, helps me so much! Even just a dollar/peso helps, shares and reblogs too! PH Moots, feel free to ask for my GCash in private!

Thank you all for reading! I’m always grateful 😭🙏❤

#mutual aid #mutual assistance #reblogs appreciated!! anything helps 🥺#No deadline on this - we are hoping to start as soon as March/April but happy to keep receiving donos 😭#so sorry about all this but yeah it is a big reason why i haven't been drawing outside of work nowadays. so many Bad things added up

Help Needed!

We're an autistic transmasc system and are really short on money again, and won't be receiving any more funds until May.

Right now we only have $4.96 left after paying for April's rent, and our phone bill of $58.75 unpaid.

On top of that we're just about out of cat food, groceries, etc.

If anyone can spare anything or reblog to signal boost, we'd be really grateful!

I'm making this post as we haven't gotten the help we need for the vet appointments. We have put aside all the extra money we have this month, but that only covers the necessary vaccines for the boys.

While the girl kittens haven't shown signs of going into heat, their mom still is and the boys are at the age that they might start with their mom.

You can read the full post HERE.

Please, please, please consider reblogging if you aren't able to donate!!! We're just trying to avoid another litter of kittens, and unfortunately, most of the local resources don't fully cover the bills. :(

🏳️‍⚧️ Top Surgery Funding 🏳️‍⚧️

As most of you know at this point, things are getting scary for trans people in America recently. With that being said, I don't know how much longer I'll legally be allowed to get this surgery seeing as I live in a red state. It's not the reddest state ever, but it's still getting pretty bad. I would love to be able to get top surgery by this time next year. I do believe that to be possible with enough help.

I don't know the exact amount the surgery will cost as I have not yet had my consultation. Seeing as I don't have insurance and based on how much I've seen others spend, I think $10k is pretty close to what I'll likely be spending. I'll be sure to update when I do have an exact number.

Update: I don't qualify for my state government insurance and the job I'm in the process of starting doesn't have insurance, so this will be completely out of pocket, so this number is staying as is unless my eventual consultation tells me otherwise.

Find All The Ways You Can D0nate Via My LinkTree Here

This includes the following:

A P@treon for my YouTube/Twitch that has a minimum of $1/mon and a maximum of $20/mon

A k0-f! where you can buy me a coffee or commission some art (art in gallery is old, but I should still be able to do it. I'll communicate if anything needs to be adjusted)

A direct link to my P@yP@l

A link to my G0F√ndMe

As well as links to my R3dBubble and S0ciety6

Any small amount helps

(censored so the Tumblr gods don't smite me again like they have before)

$49/$10,000

Recently bereaved, totally broke, and trying to raise enough for a UHaul and storage to move in with a relative.

I have been grinding to get a new job but nothing yet. I do not want to lose my cat, my sanity, and what little I have left of my mother as she and I stepped out of homelessness this January.

I have an offer to move in with a relative but the space is tiny. I need a UHaul to get there and a small storage locker to keep things which can’t fit.

Additionally I am having to buy out an older storage locker we had before we became homeless, which has important personal items in it (harddrive; family documents).

My Chime is @msest37.

A GoFundMe is here:

Please help me with getting a wheelchair for my disabled grandfather. My grandparents are the most important thing to me, they raised me since I was 6 after my parents passed in a bad car accident. I'm currently in the US for uni, trying to get a good education and job so I can really help them like they helped me. My grandparents are everything to me and I feel so bad being here in the US while they're back home in India and they're struggling 😞

I never thought I’d had to do this but I’m desperate. I really need to move out of a shitty situation and I don’t have the money to be able to and now work is cutting my hours.

One of my wonderful friends made my gofundme for me so I can get the money to move out and move in with one of my wonderful partners. My vnmo, $app and pypl are all @a5hk3tchup

A more in-depth explanation will be under the cut but the TL;DR is my roommates were struggling with housing, I stepped up to help and I’m getting treated like shit in return

Alright so this happened in March. My roommate and his partner both were struggling to find housing after my roommate moved out from our horrible landlord without a place to move into, so he was homeless.

I packed a suitcase and stepped up with money I had saved. I bought hotel room after hotel room for two months. I paid for everything in that time. It drained my bank account super fast.

We’re now all settled into a place but I’m just being disregarded by my roommates, even after what I did. I feel like a guest in my own home. Not a day goes by where I don’t cry anymore and I just want to get out of here.

Hey guys! It's me again!

I could really still use the assistance here. I'm in a living situation right now where things are constantly up in the air. The situation as described in my last post (and the second to last update on the campaign itself has cooled down but there's still so much uncertainty and I'm trying to not let fear and past trauma rule me but with the uncertainty of what's going to get me yelled at or shunned or kicked out makes it difficult.

So I'm trying to get enough money together to get into a place of my own. No roommates. I have apparent bad luck with roommates. I need the money requested to help with the amount that will be ended to get in and once I'm in I'll be able to afford the monthly payments, is just trying to get enough to move since they require an arm and leg just to get into most places.

Please, if you can help, know that the help is absolutely appreciated! I absolutely plan to pay it forward once I'm in a safe and financial place to do so and in the meantime I'm paying it forward in the non-financial ways I'm able. If you can't afford to donate, I completely understand. Please reblog this and share with people who might better be able to assist.

Thank you all so much for your continued support and help. It means the world to me and my two babies (cats Frosta and Glimmer). 💜💜💜💜💜

Financial support needed.

hello everyone, we are in a bad situation right now and we are going to be in urgent need of support

we have a car now, but now its a heavy expense. we no longer have food stamps, and my mom has yet to get us back on it. and just today, our grandfather who normally supports us has passed away. we are grieving right now, so we're not going to be able to do things for the next few days. this also means that we will most likely lose our phones, cutting off most contact we can get.

im currently working on getting SSI, but even if i do get on soon we're still going to need help. any and all help is immensely appreciated.

Help Maisie and I Stay Healthy and Keep Our Home!

Hey there! You can call me T and that lovely evil creature in my hand is my cat Maisie!

Over the past year we’ve run into several financial mishaps. I was forced to take a lot of time off work due to catching COVID-19 and planning for the death of a family member. Plus I lost my health insurance this year. I have both epilepsy and PCOS, and I can no longer afford to treat either of my conditions, or get any veterinary care for Maisie in the meantime. On top of it all, I’m about $2000 short on rent, I’ve been paying it in fragments but I always behind again when the month changes. I know that’s a lot to ask, but literally anything would help!

You can donate throught paypal here, and I'm also accepting donations to my venmo: @itstene

Thank you all so much for reading if you've gotten this far, I've been on tumblr a long time and I appreciate you all very dearly <3 please boost this post if you can! My goal is to catch up by the end of this year!

Venmo

I actually don't like doing this because I know there are lots of people who need more help than me but I'm at the bottom of the barrel on my savings right now and we don't know when mom is getting discharged from the hospital. She's still on the PCA for pain control and can't be discharged until she's able to manage the pain with oral meds.

I'm staying with her on nights I don't have work but I'm getting behind at the office because the stress of the last month has my pain flared up so bad I can barely function.
