My husband was laid off in June, his unemployment benefits have run out, & I am disabled & unable to work, which means we have zero income.

Please help us get through this tough financial time!

Thank you!!

Only received $10 so far today.

Can 3 more people match so I can at least get some food for tonight? 💕💸

Josh 💛⚪💜♠️ @blackice397.bsky.social · 5d

Well, the goal for the bill never got cleared, but I'm just deciding to focus on groceries for the week. Goal of $170, any help is greatly appreciated. 💸💕

Today is our 10th anniversary!

We're going to try to go on a Community Art Adventure in Seattle today, but bills are still going to be an issue Sunday morning. I'd love to lock the 250 more I need for them down asap.

Please boost if you can't help - I want to enjoy today and not be online. 💜✌️

So. October!

Still coming back from Covid and adjusting to a strenuous part time position.

Our 10th wedding anniversary is on the 10th. We never had a honeymoon and we had a tiny flash wedding.

If we could make Progress towards the full goal in this first week of Oct, it would mean the WORLD.

Friends, after almost a year of hoop-jumping, @pugliacci.bsky.social's top surgery is at the end of the month. This is a thread with a couple options/links to help support us during the recovery period after we've launched his tits into the sun.

Pat and Jasper posing together. Pat's making a goofy shocked face and Jasper's trying to smile as if Pat isn't a total doofus... or maybe because they are?

Thanks for this! Sorry I forgot my links. 🤦🏻‍♀️ Just lost the family dog yesterday, mom is 77 and on a fixed income and I’m disabled with no disability, recovering still from 2 surgeries with other neurological problems. We need help getting her cremated and I need help with many things. Anything helps!

So if you can help me, even if it is $5, please do. Pretty please. Even reskeets are helpful. I put my QR codes below. I am not receiving any disability, if I were I wouldn’t need the help. Thank you and I’m sorry again. 🥺😭 #MutualAid #MutualAidRequest #PleaseHelp

Thank you for reading. 🫂❤️

Naomi, a young refugee I work with in Nairobi, is at the hospital with her 7 yr old brother Junior who has blood poisoning. He's recovering but they won't discharge him until she pays $400 (40k KES) for 4 days care. Cost go up until he's released. Any amount helps

account.venmo.com/u/Keefe-Murren

Hi Keefe, Junior is feeling much better we’ll be discharged tonight. They’ve given me some food for malnourishment and strong medicine to help him recover fully. The hospital bill came to 40,000 (kenyan shillings), which feels crazy since we haven’t even been here that long 😞 but honestly, I just thank God he’s alive and getting healthier again. 🙏

Junior this year on his first day of school.
