hi we need some help
we've been struggling for a while. we are a physically disabled, severely mentally ill dissociative system. we have been trying and fighting like hell to recover from our c-PTSD (among other things) but things are getting hard again and we don't have any sort of real income to help keep me afloat. some of the things we are asking for assistance with are: being able to afford small dates with our partner, some small items to reward ourselves for hitting recovery milestones (we'll be 8 months clean from self-harm soon, for example!), and just basic needs like food, gas, and some money to save up for the future.
we are especially excited about the future because we finally have a plan to escape texas, where we have lived for most of our life. it is increasingly unsafe for us to live here as an openly trans person (or people?), and having some savings would be really helpful to keep our heads above water through the moving process and beyond! we are initially going to set a goal of $250 to take care of some immediate needs as well as putting a significant amount of that towards the future!
the link below offers several ways you can help us. this includes direct payment options, as well as our bandcamp, where you can buy some or all of our music for a relatively cheap price! (just $4.50 - although you have the option to pay more if you feel so inclined - will get you our entire released discography to date!)
it would also be very helpful if you could please share this post! a simple reblog would be amazing, but we also consent to this post being shared around in discord servers, on other social medias, and anything else you can think of that could help! again, we deeply appreciate any and all support and assistance that comes our way, and we hope you all have a lovely day! thank you!

FAVORITE STUCKY FICS | 58/100
You and a Test of Will by @sergeantscarlett
[Modern AU, 72 489 words, Explicit]
Summary:
Bucky Barnes suffered from depression before he joined the army, and when he came back, he suffered tenfold. Steve Rogers painted his nightmares and didn't talk about how he lost his leg. Natasha believed it was possible -- just maybe -- that broken people could help heal one another.

Hi.
My name is Hannah and I am 27 years old.
I have lived with Complex PTSD and Anorexia since I was 6 years old.
Over the years I have also been diagnosed with depression, anxiety, panic disorder, Functional Neurological Disorder, Fibromyalgia, a large bowel that no longer works and Costochondritis. I have had 46 hospital admissions both medical and mental health over the past 8 years to date (date of posting is April 2024)
I require weekly psychology, dietitian,, GP and physiotherapy appts as well as weekly medication costs, and other specialist appointments frequently.
I have been on the disability pension since 2019 but that doesn’t even begin to cover half of what I require and I have thousands of bills outstanding and money required to access the supports that I need to not be in hospital every few weeks.
I so appreciate the current cost of living but would be so grateful any donation large and small so that I can begin to truly live. Believe me when I say I have exhausted every option possible to try and get on track and moving forward.
Thank you for reading x

I wanted to share this. This is my boyfriend, best friend, the love of my life, my world Justice. He’s struggled so much in his childhood and his adult life. He’s been kicked out of his home before, neglected, abused, ignored, treated like garbage and much more… his own parents have called the police on him… put him in jail before… Justice has fought substance abuse, and probably been on every drug known to man….. the picture of him on the left was him before.. 2020.. he was so depressed and the drugs were causing him to lose so much weight, motivation, and spirit in his eyes. He was almost down to 89 lbs……
The picture on the right is Justice now. :) he’s fought so hard, he’s gotten off drugs, he’s fought and fought to say no to addiction now. He’s had withdrawals, and gotten physically sick for days on end . Today he is 205 lbs, muscle, smiling more, laughing everyday, and he is definitely treated like a king!
Sometimes- it’s not about having someone who’s “already self made” sometimes you fall in love with those who need just a little help, a little more love, and more reassurance! Don’t give up on those who may struggle….. Justice went through it and now he’s doing amazing. I’m so proud of him!!!!! I wanted to share his before and after with tumblr!
Justice is currently getting a letter of recommendation written for him to go down south and is waiting to be accepted into the Phoenix House in Tampa! He is someone who has struggled with drug abuse since 2013… this will be his year to finally turn his life around and get his head back on right! He is ready for his journey to get his life together and having a second chance in life! I am so proud of him!!

Help a queer with one brain cell recover from a car robbery
I'm not usually the type of person to ask for help but Ohio has really done a number on me. Literally not even two days after graduating from college, the DAY I moved to Canton, my car was broken into and all of my valuables stolen. And I do mean ALL of them; I had kept all my expensive, fragile belongings in my car because I didn't want them banging around in the moving truck.
So my computer, my monitor, my Switch, my Playstation, my games, my passport, my medications-- all of it gone. Around $4000 worth of stuff. Along with a number of sentimental items as well. I'm absolutely devastated and insurance will barely cover even half of what I've lost.
Right now, I'm just trying to get a new computer so that I can search for jobs and continue my art career. Anything will help, even just a reblog.

hey, everybody!
no pressure or obligation to act on this, but my family is doing a really cool thing and i'm trying to spread the word about it!
a team of my cousins are preparing to run the berlin marathon together, and they're representing (and raising money for!) two substance abuse and addiction recovery organizations: Release Recovery in new york, and the High Watch Recovery Center in connecticut, where two of my family members currently work. we're all really proud of what they're doing, and i'm trying to do my bit to help out!
i linked my cousin sean's page above, he's come a long way down an incredibly difficult road of recovery so this cause is near and dear to his and all of our hearts. i'd also encourage reading my other cousins' pages as well! sparky's, john's, and katrina's are for High Watch too, while david's and bryan's are for Release Recovery.
if you wanted to send a single donation to be split evenly between them all, though, john has volunteered to organize that through his venmo @John-McGowan-6 to make it easier!!
again, obviously no pressure to donate, i know we're all basically passing the same $20 bill around in circles, but it's a really fantastic cause spearheaded by some genuinely good people in my family and i just want to do my best to get the word out for them - i would super appreciate it if anyone's willing to pitch in!

Autistic Trans Man in Recovery Needing Financial Help
Hello all! That's right, just like it says on the tin, I am an autistic trans man in recovery from substance abuse and alcholism in need of financial help. Most specifically I have been spending these months in recovery/sobriety reorienting my life and getting things in order for myself to be in a better place than I have ever been. There have been good days and bad days, but I am still going regardless.
I am currently going through a program to go into trade school and things are going well! I've taken my aptitude test and have two seperate entities who are willing to reach out for work in the short term until I am able to start my apprenticeship. Problem is, the process could take up to two weeks before I get a call back and possible job opportunities.
In the mean time, I have needs that have to be met:
- Food & water.
- Transportation to medical care namely gender affirming care/HRT and my first ever OBGYN appointment to date.
- Transportation to temp work when it becomes available to me.
- Apprenticeship licensing fees/training fees/other application and set up fees.
I will include below the cut specifics of my situation and costs but if you are able and willing to give even a small amount my PayPal is one of the easiest ways to give. I also have venmo, zelle, and cashapp if you want to message me directly for information.
Tldr for below the cut; My rent is taken care of but I have an upcoming doctor's appointment I will have to Uber too costing about $60-$80 round trip and a $20 apprenticeship licensing fee that needs to be finished before I can get my job as well as costs to keep myself fed before I can get this job. Anything helps!
So! To get to the nitty gritty! I have an upcoming OBGYN appointment (my first ever) on Sept 19th. Due to it being at an LGBT+ outreach center and my qualification of being in sober living the appointment itself is free. Problem is, any follow up treatments and most notable *transportation* isn't. Where I'm currently located there is no access to public transportation and no one able to transport me, basically just leaving ride share as my only option.
Tumblr media
This is the current estimate for a one way trip to the clinic. Prices can change depending on surge pricing, available riders, and so forth. Having had to take this exact trip before I've seen it range from as low as $29 to $40. I might be able to call in a favor to be picked up by someone after the appointment but have no one to rely on to get me to the appointment. This appointment and any food costs take utmost priority with any money given as this is my health and well being.
The next priority would be the apprenticeship licensing. I am required to have this to begin working as a full apprentice in the trade I am going to school for. In the meantime I can work as a helper for lesser pay but can't start the schooling part of the program without the license to work.
Tumblr media
The cost for licensing is $20 and is the bare minimum of what I need to have done before starting work. Other fees I can work on paying and doing after I begin work but include things like OSHA 10 certification (~$40), and hand tools (~$100). These are NOT musts or time sensitive!!! Just context for what money will go toward once my needs are met.
Finally, transportation to and from temporary jobs: I have a bike and have been getting myself where I need to go that way. Problem is this can be exhausting and just unreasonable for jobs that can be more than an hour out while riding under less than ideal circumstances (busy roads, highways, alongside traffic, adverse weather, etc) any extra money will be going toward ride shares to get to work (most rides average about $7~15 one way) or allow me to help others with gas in exchange for rides. For context, once I am able to work for the trade school I already have two seperate employers who have offered to transport me to and from job sites until I have been able to save up enough to begin getting my license and car.
At the end of the day, every little bit helps! I can't explain how despite all of this, how good it feels to be in a much better place now than I have been in years. I am healthier mentally and physically and emotionally than I have ever been and I am on my way to be starting a career and living a true adult life. I just need to learn to ask for help in constructive ways to get there.
If you managed to read all of this, thank you, and feel free to reach out for details I'll be happy to give! Thank you.

! $1,975 in 5 days !
acacia now has only 5 days until their rent is due, and there is still $1,975 to raise
10 people donating $198 or 20 people donating $99 or 25 people donating $79 shall get acacia to their goal
$800 / $2,775 due tuesday april 2
from acacia: i do not have, and have never had, a basic quality of life i have had the first four decades of my life taken from me by the harmful actions of others, and have had to endure living in severe poverty, painfully witnessing my life and my potential and go to waste every day, because i have never been deemed worthy of receiving basic needs and have been left to go without
i live with immeasurable grief and have to come to terms with not only the loss and destruction to my life but also the significant loss of my capacity, only ever being able to experience a mere shadow of what i was originally capable of; all of this because of harmful others who'll never know what i've lived through and shall never go without a day in their life
your donations and sharing support have the power to radically transform acacia's life, interrupt the cycles of oppression they are trapped in, end the suffering they are so familiar with, and provide them with an opportunity to move toward the life they deserve
acacia does not have the privilege of community, friends, connections, or people to help share, and they are also extremely isolated; they are relying on people who see this post here to either share or to contribute
please circulate these flyers in spaces where they are likely to receive donations and contribute if you have $1 or more of wealth to spare 🤍

Wanted to share how proud I am of my boyfriend, my whole world, my everything, my better half, and my best friend Justice. He has struggled so much in his life ever since he was young. We met in 2012 at school and we instantly became close ever since and then he became my biggest crush ever… and eventually we ended up together :) he has saved me from 2 traumatic events that had - almost happened to me even he had not been there in time . He is my hero… my everything… my world… Justices family has thrown him out, abused him, assaulted him, trashed him, his own father called the police on him and had him arrested and in jail for a whole entire year….I waited for him. Every single day of that. He was previously struggling with drug addiction/abuse and he was getting ahold of every drug he could… to get rid of his pain he had dealt with as a child. The picture you see of him on the left is him almost crying because he was paranoid and under the influence of drugs… and he was on probation at that time… he wasn’t using the best judgement… but he knew that. He knows he wasn’t being smart, he knows that and he has owned up to his past and his past mistakes. He is man enough to admit that and his wrongs which- that alone takes a real man to own up and correct those wrongs.
In the left picture he was almost all the way down to 87 lbs…..
The picture you see of him on the right is HIM NOW :) at 205 lbs, healthy as ever, smiling every day, laughing, and only wanting positivity in his life now. He doesn’t want anything to do with negativity ever again and he only wants positive, sobriety, and to show others he has changed, he has beat the odds, and he will continue to show that he is a survivor and he has changed for the better and will continue to be a role model and someone who others can say “wow he did that” about.
Just wanted to share a good post with tumblr.
Recovery is possible
-feel free to reblog this and share his story :) it would mean a lot to him and he knows the tumblr community can be a good place to share a change for positivity. It would mean a lot to him!
