Rebeka needs URGENT assistance!

Can you imagine battling cancer, undergoing surgery radiation treatments while UNHOUSED and having to put in the work to fundraise for medical expenses & living costs??

They need some form of stability & they need it NOW.

$500 needed ASAP

It continued to snow, we need groceries bc we literally dont have any & we're having trouble funding anywhere that didnt shut down.

This is bad bc while we can skip a day our dog is on a special diet we make & has no food bc we ran out yesterday.

Hey friends, if you are struggling with anxiety right now, especially the acute kind, I’ve got a list of things I do to help deal with mine.

1) Candy or juice with higher glucose. I usually keep some twizzlers or fruit slices around for it. Being freaked out takes energy that needs replaced.

5) Talking to people. Or your pet. Rubber duck debugging the brain does actually work, I’ve done it on occasion. It’s not my first choice, which would be talking to a friend, but it can work as a stopgap as long as you focus on venting the anxiety and not prolonging it.

Call. Your. Senators. Right. Fucking. Now. It’s ok if your voice shakes while you leave the voice mail. If you cry. If you cuss. If you’re inarticulate. Just get the message across.

I called yesterday and will call again today. If you’re new to it, 5calls.org has got your back.

“There’s no point to calling because my senators already agree with me”

“There’s no point to calling because my senators won’t listen”

These are both false information and you should correct and/or block anyone circulating them. Your calls are tallied and create support and/or real pressure.

Time to recycle this one more time!
See how to turn off autoplay in the thread
PSA: you do not have to watch video of people getting injured or dying to know a situation is serious.
We used to have journalists making those calls but with social media it's YOU.
Turn off that autoplay, it's causing secondary trauma!
