I'm only going to respond to this at all for my followers.
This is absolutely a scam!
I've seen the same message crop up from different URLs, and a quick search of the person's URL as well as the tag #donation scam to see if anyone is talking about them confirms that this person has remade their blog quite a few times already.
Folks on Tumblr are generally very charitable (a good thing usually) and asking for money has become common, so it's very easy to present a story of someone in distress and make it look legit. The unfortunate reality is that most people who don't just make donation posts but also further go into random people's inboxes are likely scammers. Or even if by some slim chance they're not, they're not effective by being too invasive and overstepping normal donation etiquette, so they need to be told no and not have their actions encouraged.
If you have any doubts, look carefully at their blog, and also search their URL or scam tags to see if anyone else is having the same problem with them. Some scammers, like this one, may fill their blog with a bunch of stuff---reblogs, likes, etc.---to make it look legit at first glance, but their archive will reflect that they are a very new blog and likely made the account solely for the scam. (For this blog, they liked/reblogged a bunch of stuff and made a donation post a couple of days ago on the 18th but have no previous blog history beyond that.)
Here are some (likely not a complete list) of the other URLs this particular scammer recently went under that I pulled from other people's complaint posts:
strangeangelwinner, delicatesublimelizzardy, delicatesublimelizlzardyy, pleasantgiverdetective, psychiccandycollectionye, spookypersonasuit, spookykittygalaxy
Don't click any links on these scam blogs, instead just report them by pressing: User Icon/Meatball Menu -> Report -> Something Else -> Illegal uses or Content -> Phishing
This wonderful person, @kyra45, does good work on finding scam accounts. Give her blog a gander if you're wondering about a potential scammer!
Stay vigilant and save any money you want to donate to causes you know will help people, such as donation posts from your friends or mutuals, Gaza eSIMs, or other verified relief for Palestine!

Hello sorry for tagging. I am very sick, my asthma is at its maximum level, my nose freezes, I have no medicine or food. I am in bad shape financially, I am a black disabled, who uses multiple medications, I pay for my food and lodging
Unfortunately I do not have all the resources to keep me safe, that is why I need your help, whatever you can contribute to me will be of great help.
Did you change your account?????? That's crazy

Hi! Yes, all of these blogs are scams. I suggest you should take note of the asks they sent you so that if they remake and send you the same ask you can just block them. These scammers often reuse the same ask even after they've been caught. You could also try looking up their url on the search tab to see if someone has already tagged them as a scam.

Ban notification on the link, or under the cut (don't want a longer post than needed when I already put a meme)

idk if this scammer just genuinely forgets that i regularly call them out or if they're doing this deliberately to taunt me. Anyway, please block this user and warn everyone you see reblogging their posts. Check the tags on this post for proof that they are a scammer.
