OK, I know the #UglyDogs are rallying for @ravenmae.bsky.social’s fundraiser, but I’m hoping I can get some boosts & donations for this one too… It’s a relatively small goal! Only $3000!

Please help a dad raise emergency funds to travel to pick up his son, whose mother died suddenly this week. 💔

And we're up to about $55-$65 in matching per $20 donated. I need @mac-b5.stickimporters.com to confirm which is correct. I dont know if the anonymous matcher is soneone who stepped forward and identified themselves.

#uglydogs
Frens, ilu, every one.

As @mackaracka.bsky.social said, Raven asked for a lowball sum, though. If we can boost this fund past her modest request, we can add flexibility and security to her circumstances.

If you have ANY spare $$ to help out an online friend, please click through all of these quote-skeets to the GFM by RavenMae.

She's an incredible member of the online community that call themselves #UglyDogs.

If you're new to UglyDogs, we DON'T call the dogs this!

@blairbraverman.bsky.social
Bumpity bump - I know things are tight for everyone, so if you can’t help, that’s okay, please help boost. Even if you can only contribute $5, there are 4 people matching to make your donation go farther. Raven is foundational to who we are as #UglyDogs. We simply wouldn’t be us without her. 💜
Seriously, there's 3 ppl doing matching and this hasn't budged for hours?

#UglyDogs it’s time to go Bleral for Raven! A $20 match for your donation! Raven needs $50,000 and we can do this for her, her (still working in his 70s!) dad and Kieran. They’ve all had major health crises and could lose their home. Let’s make Mac go broke!
I am with the realMackaracka.
20k is not 50k.
Raven is a friend.

I am officially calling to action the Small Things Squad.
Yes, that is a name, and yes, that's all of you.

There are 198 donations at this point.
Every further donation will get a 10$ match from me plus 10$ from an anonymous donor.
My goal for RavenMae is $50k. Have #uglydogs ever raised that much in a gfm? Let's do it!

Let's do whatever we can for Raven...and Dr. K! Got five bucks? PERFECT. More, that's great too! Heck, send her a buck. Or a hundred! Our strength is together so let's get it together #uglydogs!

If a retweet is what you are able to give at the moment, that is valuable! Retweets rule!

I have to go to sleep, 4:30 Eastern alarm, please #UglyDogs keep this going, thoughts for Lumi and Mac and donations to @ravenmae.bsky.social , through the night.
#UglyDogs good thoughts and prayers if that’s your thing for Lumi and Mac. We want him to wake up relieved about Lumi and only worried about his bank balance on the match for @ravenmae.bsky.social ‘s GoFundMe.
Yes, mac, bonding with your dog was a great idea.
I am pretty sure that bond saved my life several times.

Today shows the negative side, though:
I am barely able to function while Lumi undergoes a surprise overnight uterus extraction because of cysts.

You know what we do when we are stressed?

#UglyDogs their debt is $50,000, this ask is really too modest. Can we get Raven, Kieran and Dad what they need to save their home? We’ve done great in a day and a half, let’s keep this going at least a few more paydays for people.
I know everyone is struggling but I need help. Due to my loss of income, dad & I are at risk of losing the house from debt. Any help/reskeet you can give me to hold onto this house until we're better situated to sell it vs losing it would be greatly appreciated.

#UglyDogs I heard someone said this isn’t a legitimate fundraiser. I wanted you to know it is 100-percent legitimate. It’s $50K to do Iditarod, and I’m not sure the total cost for Kobuk, but flying in Alaska is hella expensive as are supplies. Just make sure you get the link from a trusted source.
Q made a wedding registry for his Kobuk, if you care to sponsor dog jackets, etc! Or just read through for a glimpse into equipment. (I'm with his family and showed them this and his cousin pulled me aside, concerned, and said "Does Q know what watersports means?")

There may not be a banquet (I hope there is beer if he wants it), but we donated a lot of money and we are all cheering joyously for him! Dare I say even more joyously than had this followed a traditional path…
Bravo! This is so GOOD!

I finally had a little time today, and recorded this. I hope it's ok...I don't have a studio or anything, so, it's just a homemade little thing.

(I made a couple of quick edits for ease of fitting into the rhythm 💜)

Thank you for this. I love it very much.

The comment process in this is a little complicated- the replies to the post give some advice on navigating. If trans healthcare is something you care about, consider commenting. Heck, if a trans person is someone you care about, even.
The HHS rule banning trans care from many ACA plans is open for public comment now. Only 3 comments so far.

Embarrassing how the media is completely ignoring this. There's likely over 200,000 trans people on ACA plans (1% of 24 million)
