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 Crescendo @zaycrescendo.bsky.social · 19d

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.

450 weekly rate is the cheapest vs the 80 daily rate. 43 would at least cover today due by noon to remain h0used. Any aid is greatly appreciated, including amplifying.

Could we reach a goal of $280 right now? :o I didn’t factor in food, that’s just the amount for transportation and to cover two bills. That would be super helpful!

‼️ UPDATE ON THIS EMERGENCY ‼️

I’ve hired the contractor for the roof! Signed paperwork on Friday! The company will be starting work in 3 weeks. This morning, they sent a technician to properly tarp up my roof! I’ve been advised to fix the ceiling last.

‼️ EMERGENCY CONTINUES ‼️

I’m circulating a new mutual aid graphic for my October needs. A portion of my ceiling collapsed, a new roof is needed, & it’ll be getting cold soon.

I need a minimum of $3,000 RIGHT NOW.

WHITE PEOPLE? I know you’re following me. Over a THOUSAND of you. DO SOMETHING.

0/550

Weekend starts tomorrow. Meaning 125 Fri/Sat, 130 to clear fees, 150 for food too. 300 for two days or 550 for two weeks of shelter. Which is one of the many reasons I'm pushing and hoping for that. Tysm!
