Hi tysm! Idk if it was you who sent $28— but for anyone that reads this 🥲 I have no idea who sent it, this is what she texted me: “Hey someone sent me 28$ but it went to hold for some odd reason. I am trying to refund it back but it’s not letting me because it’s on hold ! Are they using family and Friends? To send”

 

Edit: someone sent her 28$ but it went to hold for some odd reason. She’s trying to refund it back but it’s not letting her because it’s on hold! I don’t know who donated, 😭we are thinking this payment might have been sent on business and good fathers than friends and family!

She also said, “It says it’ll be released after a ship address but it’s no shipping address , I believe the person sending has to have an address I’m not even sure. But I have another PayPal you can add it’s lovelovememe1233@gmail.com

Hello everyone! A mom with type 1 diabetes whom I have been in contact with for a few months just notified me that her cab person left her stranded. She only went out to aquire food from a pantry!

It’s night. Cold. There’s multiple bags. I doubt the roads are super walkable! This is so dangerous. I sent her $10, I only have $19 in my bank now and can’t give more! If anyone can contribute anything so she can get home and safe that would be so appreciated 🙇 she’s reaching out to anyone she can but no responses thus far.

Tysm, happy Chinese new year!

Tysm Hexbee 🥺❤️❤️

Thank you so so much

 

Elisea’s Cold. Scared. Hungry & exhausted. She’s 9 hours away from her 3 babies, as she left home to see her father to prevent committing suicide. Right now she’s on the road without GAS to make the trip.

The sun’s going down… Please help!

Her cousin, friends and I have been fundraising to pay her back rent ($1707) all month, to little success. The eviction threats and job loss led to this mental crisis. She’s been unable to get home for 3 days.

Anything at all is appreciated and so needed. Please!

I was previously collecting funds for Elisea, as it seemed like people cared more when the person in need had someone advocating for them. I am still able to! But now, she needs quick access.

Tysm for the care and kindness, it really goes a long way!

Awww, (offers my hugs) you are so wholesome comrade

Despite thousands of views on Twitter, and hours of messaging people, nothing has been sent for more than 2 days now. Sigh. 😔 keeping my fingers crossed!

 

Hi everyone!! I've returned with an update concerning my friends cousin, a young mom that was fired on New Years after being denied repeated breaks. You can find the initial post here:

https://hexbear.net/post/4248610

Last Thursday her landlord gave her a notice of eviction, claiming they would proceed to go to court if her back rent of $1067 was not paid in full by Friday afternoon.

I've been sending her the funds as soon as they came in, even paid for dinner one night the kids unplugged her freezer. You guys have all been life savers!

Unfortunately, we had failed to meet this goal on time, still at around $229 raised. But when the deadline actually came, the office remained unclear and dismissive about an actual court date. It's safe to assume she was given an unlawful amount of time to pay back her due, and the document posed no legal threat... not immediately

It's hard for my friend to have consistent communication with her, which makes sense as she's been exhausted & still job searching, but its certain that this goal still must be met. Landlord was eager to intimidate, and means she and three kids are very much unsafe

I appreciate everyones help. We are very much almost there and would like to request your continued aid. Our new goal is to have this met early this week!

Hey, tysm for contributing then…. I’m going to try to contact more people that shared her campaign then and let them know of the situation. Sigh. And tysm for caring, all I want is her to be well.

Thank you so much Aradina, what you’ve done is so appreciated and needed

 

Hello everyone, I'm almost having a panic attack so please understand that I’m not the best writer at this moment.

This is my friend's cousin. She's a young mom that was repeated denied breaks at the job who fired her on the 1st. She can't sleep at night, and she's starving herself to feed her kids.. and she needs support while she's looking for a job to get back on her feet.

She has been trying her best to save and get money, but now her life depends on other people who can chip in for her. She can no long crowdfund on her own due to the harassment from fascist cyberstalkers

She needs help to stay afloat to look for a job in the mean time so they can get back on their feet,

My friend who’s formerly homeless has been trying to gather funds for her for years now and the apathy they’ve received is crushing them.

I’m collecting the funds for her, please send what you can, have a good day and please hang on 🫂

Right now “US” is having the coldest air in the season, huge snow storms unseen for years. 62 million people are impacted as we speak. They CAN’T be outside!

I just finished making this graphic and I’m so worried…

Areanna has been crowdfunding for FIVE lives that depends on them. Support is scarce, funds have been stalling.

6 lives on the line. Please support however you can (bows)

Alizé only needs $50 for the electricity to turn back on. It has been days.

She has been a Twitter moot of mine for months. She just turned 27 exactly a week ago. Ever since her and her child has been sleeping in the streets to save up money they were sent, because hotels were too draining and expensive.

Now they finally have their own place thanks to crowdfund support, but the support is stalling.

They lack every basic household necessities, and the power has been out for days. All of this would break someone who’s previously mentally and physically healthy.

Now she’s having a crisis because of this torment she’s going through. I’m extremely worried. She’s posting extremely concerning things and losing hope. I hate seeing people who deserve it the least suffer like this. Please support her.

Please don’t ONLY support Mem when they are in immediate life or death crisis! Support Mem so they never have to get to that point! 🫶🏼🩵

Mem: “This is 3 years post being homeless. We lost so much in past 2 homes enduring sewage backups, floods & constant repairs. While barely affording to stay housed with utilities on, in a bare home. We just want basics.

Please don't forget about us. We still need support to live. I'm overexerted with less than 48 hrs to pack. Weary I won't be able to Swiss cheese out of infections with chronic symptoms already. Lacking basics to clothe, clean, store, cook or even sit.”

HELLO! MEM GOT A LEASE! They got the keys to the house! They will be moving THIS WEEK!!! WOOOO!!!! <:) I’m excited, and hopeful.

Today, Mem was talking about acquiring some decor like a rug and some arts so the house has some colors and their mental health won’t deteriorate over time from being in an very bland place like the one they are in now. In fact, I just started a painting, it’s of a moth with the color scheme of the trans to mail to them later!

We are also worried that ever since the keys were secured, a lot of the donations ceased. It’s so dangerous as Mem and D has to use savings for things they fundraised for to just have one meal a day. They have to spend the 3k raised recently this week to move. And if any of the utilities shuts off at their new place where they can’t pay on time, water, gas, electric, Mem, D and cat will be evicted.

Mem needs security. Mem needs a secure environment to not become more and more disabled for a chance to survive. They need to have an environment where they can sleep as much as they want and be able to think about more things than the next dollar. Any and all support is appreciated. No contribution is too small. Please support queer disabled Black people when they ask for help!!

At last, happy new years <:)

 

We’ve come so far with everyone’s support. Now we are in a race against time to raise $1325 under 3 day’s time so three lives, Mem, D and cat can get into the only house they have.

I have hope we can push through, but only with community care - your contribution is a lifeline for Mem.

This is the chance Mem has been waiting for and trying for the past months to make happen. This goal has to be completed. No help is too small, I know some of us got gift cards, money, etc from family and friends over Christmas and will for the upcoming new year, please pay it forward to Mem! I know some of us can’t spare even a dollar, but your time & effort is also invaluable! Please ask others to contribute to Mem’s survival or otherwise spread the word?

This lease was signed after 7 denies and $800 spent in housing applications.

Today, on the way to sign the lease, Mem’s car started breaking down on the highway, on top of this Mem has been staying up regularly 18 hours every day to raise funds, take care of household things, etc. Sleeping extremely irregularly, and malnourished. Using as little money as possible, saving up the funds they have gotten as much as they can.

All of this would break even an abled person, but for Mem who has been disabled their entire life- and became multiply disabled in 2021 - it is even more horrible. For some context of what Mem is dealing with, they have a condition called ME/CFS, and the stress and overworking Mem has to endure to survive is indescribably harmful to their health and wellbeing. It’s agonizing for them, and even to me as a friend seeing their hardship.

Seeing Mem working themselves to death for a chance to live is horrifying, their vibrant life shouldn’t be cut short like this.

I have found a lot of warmth among this small site, I’m humbling pleading, please send Mem some hope that they desperately need, however you can.

Thank you!

I illustrated a real conversation I had with a friend 2 days ago…. She asked me why I priced my art so low, and then asked if I knew what is surplus value. I didn’t very much, so she then explained it to me. I was like, no, this is actually very different, oh ho ho, well, the materials themselves were provided to me by the school for free* I only spent hours putting everything together and drawing it so it wasn’t worth very much.

The embarrassment I felt as she said, “star, you illustrated my point perfectly. You are so good at giving me examples”

Then I was like. Wait, you should pay people for their time too? I didn’t think my time was worth any money, and then she judged me ever harder (very silly)

Very silly goofer doodle to share with you all :))

 

Update 12/24/2024 9am EST!

thank you all so much for commenting and boosting, plus the one of you that commissioned something from me. I’m eternally thankful for the love and support. Thank you. Every contribution you make paves forward in hope for my friend. (Bows)

We cleared that goal of $1000! Now we need $363 to get to $1500 for movers and cleaners by Thrusday as Mem will be hearing back from one of their housing applications then!

—- Greetings! I have a proposal to make to you! It is less than 5 hours till property management opens, and I’m keeping my fingers crossed they respond with an approval to my friend!

My Black trans disabled friend, Mem, needs to be ready to go sign lease, pay any pro-rated rent, start insurance and schedule utility transfers… all covered in their $821 ($389 now!!) remaining goal. They are very disabled and they won’t survive being homeless again.

Mem has been extremely stressed, the waiting is agonizing, especially as they are also autistic, but we have to have hope for a better future.

I’m willing to draw almost anything within my capability and that’s not bigoted and reactionary, and if I can’t do it, and it is a skill issue, I will learn how to draw it for you. :)

Pay whatever you want! Sincerely don’t want someone to die on me. To be honest, I really don’t know what to do, the only skills I have is art and talking to people!

If you have the money to spare, but don’t know what you want to spare it on, let me assist you with ideas!

1.I can draw your favorite character having a mental breakdown (I’m quite good at it).

2.You can talk to me about your character, give me a lyrics that fits them and I will draw what comes to my mind!

3.I can redraw your favorite TV show/anime/video game screenshot. The possibilities are endless. (Smile)

I apologize in advance that some of these photos are badly taken, I have been trying to not have a panic attack and couldn’t acquire better versions!!

Here’s some examples of my artworks, hexbear froze on me when I tried to upload more of them, sigh. ;;

Please contact me with a screenshot of proof of donation :) you don’t have to have any personal details in the screenshot. And we can work out what you want to be drawn! 💚💚💚🫶🏼‼️

And if you don’t like my art! That is okay. Allow me to introduce another friend who’s doing the same thing for Mem! See his art work examples here -> http://forms.gle/QQpqHUcqQAw6RhQ57

Thank you!
