$2140 to go

[$290 received yesterday]

please keep it moving 🙏🏽❤️

we're so close 🙏🏽
TIME SENSITIVE!!!

the sooner this is paid, the sooner radiation therapy can resume.

if 250 people give $10, i stand a chance to beat this tumor

the majority of the fees has been taken care of - please help me to pay the remaining $2430 ❤️
According to Bex's doctor, the radiation therapy is working!

The bad news is they need to pay the $3280 remaining balance ASAP!

$20 from your pocket could literally save their life.
Give it today- their treatment has been interrupted several times due to lack of funds.

I don't want to be scared, but I do want to be prepared if it's true.
I can do math! Based on government data the SNAP program spends approx $8.3 billion/month. Looks like the regime is saying there won’t be money to feed hungry people starting 11/1.

But they managed to find $40 billion to send to Argentina. rollcall.com/2025/10/16/u...
USDA's Rollins says food stamp funding to dry up in two weeks - Roll Call
Nearly 42 million people could be left without monthly food benefits if the federal government doesn't reopen before funding runs out.

I have a young man in my long COVID group who is from Liberia. He's a great kid. I've helped him with homework and figuring out life over the last five years. His dad is sick, & they can't afford his medicine, which is $50. If you can help, my Venmo/Cash app: AmandaKFinley, PayPal: [email protected]
That sounds terrifying, I'm sorry.
I feel like it would be creepy to keep stuff in a notes app, but I might have to start
Having a better memory would be nice, because I'd like to be the kind of person who remembers what people said and asks them about it later. Like hey, how did the surgery go. How did the test go. How have things been at work.

OH FUCK I JUST REMEMBERED MY FRIEND'S FRIEND IS IN THE HOSPITAL

🚨 EMERGENCY
Can you help? #disability #mutualaid #helpsky

Please share
I’m sure you guys are sick of this, and believe me I hate it too. I keep falling asleep for 5 minutes and jerk awake in a panic. I’m going to get kicked out soon and that will not end well. Please consider helping Cashapp/Venmo saorsiek (the pfp should match this one) 🙏🏻

I wish police department and fire department bonds weren't put together
Thank you for doing this. I've been wondering exactly all these things.
Fuck yeah, voting for library bonds 🎉

I have one week left to raise the remaining $1291 for out of pocket medical expenses related to my urgent surgery on the 23rd.

Thank you to everyone who's helped me get this far. As always, I will be paying it forward as soon as I can.
Apologies, somehow the original was deleted. I'm undergoing my 3rd urgent, non-elective revision spinal fusion this Oct to replace & extend my hardware. I'd appreciate any help in achieving this goal to ensure I have the resources necessary to recover safely & fully.

I'm sad that I finally have a place I can sit outside, and I've been mostly too tired to do it for.. a year and 8 months

Too tired *to sit outside*
cw weight

I'm officially fine by endo cuz my "BMI" went from 14.9 to 15.6. "Get more exercise." Follow up in 6 months.

I can't with this anymore, yo. I can't.
I go back Wednesday and I don't want to. I just really feel like I can't.

He's definitely going to chart that I'm depressed. Like YEAH I AM NOW IT'S BEEN OVER 2 YEARS heh

I don't want to show up to the endo like "yeah, whatever", but I don't know if I can muster more.

I've been too tired to speak and they just.. didn't write most of what I said

Apparently me losing 14 lb in a few months by accident is "self-reported" and doesn't count?

They effectively decided that I'm a little tired and anxious and should just come back in October.

PS - if you’re one of those people who lost their lives to Long Covid & you happen to know who you caught it from, are you still in relationship with them? Have they offered any support/sympathy/solidarity? Are they helping you survive? From what I’ve seen, there’s often a lot of disappearing 🫥

To the many people who say “I’ll mask or stay home if I’m sick, but you’re CRAZY if you want me to mask regularly, & btw I haven’t even been sick in years”… yeah you have, & you probably spread it to a bunch of other people, some of whom, statistically speaking, lost their lives as they knew them
