A screenshot of Fen's October Bills Goal, here's what it says:

"Posting October Goal a bit early in hopes that some of it will get done.
Also on the first week in the 2nd half of October, my job will be renovating for an entire work week, so I don't know if I can do vacation time or what will happen. Plus my hours can be a bit hectic, honestly.

★ Rent is always $850 a month, so after bills are out of the way, anything towards rent helps with us also getting necessities too during pay days. $106.25 covers me for the week of renovations.
• Electric was $106, so it's safe to assume $150 will cover the next months electric.
• Wi-Fi is $58.17 due on Oct 19th.
• Garbage is $110 every 3 months ($77.50 left so far).

I also need stuff from my Main (Necessities) Throne Wishlist please, it helps us be able to live here easier.

Goals base total right now = $450 (including any possible transfer fees)"

I don't want to ever have to come here to tell y'all that Zay has perished due to lack of meds, LC complications and lack of shelter.

It doesn't have to be that way, but it almost happened recently.

Please, who can chip in? Who can amplify often?

Zay has been in and out of the hospital and UCC with LC complications. They have been trying to reach a week or two goal since their hospital discharge to stay housed. 43 would at least cover today due by noon. Any aid is appreciated, including amplifying.

Toffee the Chihuahua and Tiny Tina the Grey Tortoiseshell Cat laying back-to-back on the big couch. Toffee is asleep while Tina has her head turned all the way around to sleepily look back at Toffee.

Boos the Chonky Black Cat doing his famous headplant, where he stands up and puts the top of his head on whatever surface he's on, my belly in this case. He usually does this in response to really good pets and/or scritches, especially if they're on the back of his neck. There is also Bonny the Tabby Mama Cat laying on my lap in the background.

Two of the nine strays that hang out on our porch, Mr. Pinky and Miss Turkle. They are curled up together while they sleep in a flowerpot.

You think you're playing it safe not sharing Mutual Aid, that it will be better to keep your head down and not help.

I hope it never comes time for your turn to beg for help only for everyone around you to bury their heads in the sand.

Disability is inevitable.
Mutual Aid is Anti-Fascist Action.
