Fund - Blog Posts
This person needs help, I don't know who they are and I'm to broke to help myself but if you are fortunate enough to have wealth I ask that you help this person.
Please boost! My name is Casey and while I usually do not make posts like these I desperately need your help. While this is not on par with my usual content on this page, I am unsure what else to do and this is my last resort.
I have struggled with an eating disorder for a very long time and while today I am actively trying to recover, the biggest impact it has left on me has been towards my dental health. I have insurance, but it does not cover the cost of the procedures needed whatsoever and I will be paying completely out of pocket for everything. At this current moment I need 4 root canals, several fillings, and caps-- all of which total up to $10k.
I am a college student, I currently take classes and the stress of maintaining my grades and these impending costs is extremely taxing. I have to deal w frequent and constant toothaches that just will not go away and I would do anything for it to stop.
I have been looking at charity clinics, but the waiting times are extremely long, and I have tried applying for payment plans/dental credit but I am not currently eligible.
Any donation you can give will be greatly appreciated and extremely helpful. While I am busy with school, I will absolutely be willing to draw something (or possibly crochet something and mail) for your contribution. Example of my work is on this blog, but I will include pieces below:
I cannot stress how thankful I am for any help given and please do not hesitate to dm me if you are interested in commissions. If you cannot donate via Gofundme, I also accept donations via venmo or cashapp and will include the links to those as well.
Thank you so much for taking the time to read this!
‼️🚨 To all supporters and backers of Palestine, I need your help and support for me and my family 🙏🍉
We are a beautiful family who lost my brother in the 2014 war, this campaign is for my family to save our lives and bring back hope to my family after I lost everything, I hope you can help me evacuate my family.
The war destroyed everything beautiful and changed our features. Every day we endure humiliation, hunger, fear, death, torment and regret. War must be cursed a thousand times. 💔🥹
This is Haitham, my nephew who lives with us and we need your support and help to save Haitham from this war so that we do not lose him as we lost my brother 🙏🇵🇸🥹
I asked every member of my family if they felt they would survive this war, and surprisingly they all gave the same answer, no, they denied that they would survive.🥹🥹
!!Don't ignore my message, I need your time. Help me by donating
A small donation can make a big difference
I hope you will take care of us and help us evacuate quickly, as the situation is catastrophic - in the tents - and yet, for more than 330 days, my family and I have been exposed to intense bombing and missiles from warplanes in the Gaza Strip 🥹🥹😭
This campaign took a month and a few days, trying to raise money to get us out of here quietly, then to a safer and warmer place, then to a better reality and life. We deserve better than this, so help us by donating even a small amount, it will make a difference 🙏

For #GivingTuesday I am sharing my top 9 favorite organizations, foundations and groups to give to today (not in any particular order). If I forgot any or if you have feels about any listed let me know! 1) Team Rubicon USA - "international non-profit disaster response organization that unites the skills and experiences of military veterans with first responders to rapidly deploy disaster response teams, free of charge to communities affected by disasters across the country. Team Rubicon currently maintains a roster of 35,000+ volunteers able to deploy throughout the United States."

To people who are desperately asking for fundz/donations on tumblr.
USE THESE REDDIT SUBS INSTEAD PLEASE FOR GOODNESS SAKE!!!!!!!!!
Hate Reddit if you want, but using these subs are your best chance. People gather in these subs because they have charity to spare:

I never see anyone actually getting any significant donations on tumblr and to be honest, tumblr is the worst place to ask for assistance. Use it as your last resort, it frustrates me to no end seeing people begging for help, reblogging the same post over and over, the same types of posts over and over, to no avail, when people are waiting to help you on a different part of the web GO TO WHERE THE HELP IS. IF YOU WANT DIRECT ACTION TO WORK STOP WITH TUMBLR AND USE REDDIT.
PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF SATAN REBLOG THIS SO WE CAN START REDUCING THE AMOUNT OF DONATION POSTS THAT GET STUCK FLOATING AROUND THIS WEBSITE
