Posting again because this is very urgent!!

My partner @magicalgrrrl and I somehow have to raise $330 by the morning tomorrow (Thursday, February 19), so we can stay inside for a week

This is a weekly effort, and Iโ€™m really afraid of how tomorrow would go if we cannot pay for shelter. We have been without meds all day as well, and Iโ€™m in a chronic pain flare, so having to pack up and leave would take a big toll.

I post every day on TikTok, but today I specifically posted about my art commissions because theyโ€™re on sale!
This is the link for the discount: https://ko-fi.com/lukeorion/link/SAVEBETSY

So far, no luck, but I truly hope that a few people will consider commissioning me, ordering something from my shop, or donating on my Ko-Fi! Hereโ€™s my Ko-Fi: https://ko-fi.com/lukeorion/

Thank you for reading and boosting โค๏ธ

(Featuring a coloring page I just finished and the one I plan to do next)

Edit: we didnt make it. We have to raise $360 MINIMUM by Saturday morning in order to keep sheltered.

Please boost! Honestly pretty desperate right now. Coloring page โ€œWIPโ€ featured in order to grab attention.

This is a weekly goal, and unfortunately this week has been very difficult and stagnant (not speaking only in terms of mutual aid, but personal and situational bs)

Outside of living costs, my wheelchair batteries are slowly approaching end of life due to... idk planned obsolescence bullshit with lithium-ion batteries and how much you can charge them and get out of them per charge as they get older and-- a lot of shit I don't understand but the point IS, they're slowly dying on me.

My wheelchair is how I go places without a million exhaustion Every Time. The optimal OEM replacement is $500 (plus whatever shipping); I can't even figure out what non-OEM option might work, plus I'd rather not risk fires and explosions. (Mind you, I don't know why a 24v 20Ah (480Wh) battery is $500 but that's fucking disability markup for you. ๐Ÿ™ƒ๐Ÿ™ƒ)

(Also, I need a better/different cushion. My tailbone hates my current one - it worked great for my old chair but... lmao.)

We have a vague plan to ask a local-ish medical supplies store if they carry or can get this battery and if so, how much (aka will it be a better price than ordering it ourselves) but we'll still need to be able to *pay* for it.

So... if anyone is able to help out, that's great. ๐Ÿ’• (If any of y'all know someone who can absolutely spare a whole $500 at once, stick this in their face and be like "come on help them keep their independence" lolol.)

For real tho, passing this along to a wider circle is A++, the more eyes the better, and if that's all you can do: thank you!! I appreciate it! If you can manage $1, or $5, or $10, $25, whatever increment you can spare: thank you!! I appreciate it!

My cashapp is $Inoru
Spouse's venmo (because I don't have venmo; pls specify "for Inoru's chair"): @californiummm

Ask @camilla for PayPal/zelle info if cashapp or venmo don't work for you. ๐Ÿ’• (please also specify "for Inoru's chair")

Hey help us afford to do a move and also keep living because it's expensive to keep living. (Why life is so expensive, I don't fucking know, but y'all, whew. ๐Ÿ™ƒ๐Ÿ™ƒ๐Ÿ™ƒ)

Payment info in spouse's post per usual, ask him for PayPal or zelle deets!

(Or just cashapp me $Inoru. It'll all get where it needs to!)

We appreciate every bit of your help, from passing along our posts and hopefully getting them to the eyes of people with $$ to spare, to those who spare the $$ and keep us kicking. (Or, y'know, rolling. Depending on the day. ๐Ÿ˜‚)

Attached: 1 image this is going to pay most of my bills for the July cycle but I need to start pushing really hard to get #MutualAid for August! and expenses for moving which we didn't know was going to happen and we need to buy things like lights and maybe a kitchen island. as an aside I have no clue how it is now halfway through 2025. my spouse @[email protected] and I are both disabled Jewish and Jewish-ish queers trying to survive in suburban Los Angeles, with our cat Zoey, and we need help with basically everything while I'm in school and they're doing job readiness (and not ready yet). we're in the beginning of moving that's what we really needed but that's a hasty process with a lot of unforeseen expenses that we already don't have money for, so anything and everything helps us! this move is the first step towards getting at least partially out of an abusive situation. currently we're at 0/1000 that we need, this gets us solved for this month and August and means we can buy needed items for moving like plastic bins to put things into. payment methods below: CashApp: http://cash.app/$ceahettan (a bunch of muppets) Venmo: https://venmo.com/californiummm (dror lieb) ask for PayPal/Zelle. #Crowdfund #Crowdfunding #DirectAid #DirectGiving #Disabled #DisabledCrowdfund #FinancialAid #Generosity #GiveTzesakah #HelpFolksLive #HelpFolksLive2025 #Mazeldon #MutualAidNeed #MutualAidNeeded #MutualAidNow #MutualAidRequest #Queer #QueerCrowdfund #Trans #Transmasc #TransNonbinary #TransCrowdfund #Tzedakah as always thank you. we appreciate everyone, including people who just boost it or point their well-to-do friends about it. our cat Zoey thanks you too.

as of 05/14/2025 UPDATING this again! I got my top surgery on 01/31/2025 y'all rock! and with y'all's help we were able to cover the additional food needs easily and build up a little bit of excess that carried us through February. but it's May now and we're falling behind again. we've also paid off spouse's wheelchair purchase entirely. now it's just regular old credit card debt. our #MutualAid post now that things have settled down. #MutualAidRequest #TransCrowdfund #HelpFolksLive #HelpFolksLive2025 #MastodonForHarris #Mastodon4Harris #Tzedakah #DirectGiving #DisabledCrowdfund #DisabilityCrowdfund #Crowdfund #Crowdfunding quick intro: @[email protected] and I are two Deaf, disabled, Jewish/Jewish-ish, neurodivergent/autistic/ADHD and unemployed queers in southern California. aside from food stamps and Medi-Cal we receive absolutely no social welfare benefits while I await any progress in my SSDI application. financial aid helps, but as I told one of my case workers, we put it towards medical needs and then bills and then there's virtually none left and I'm still in the same boat that I'm in to begin with. everything else that we have comes from the generosity of other people like you. spouse is doing a job training program through department of rehab, we'll see when that turns into a job, and they get money to cover the transportation. I've left university where I was studying Religious Studies and gone back to the local community college studying Addiction Medicine, and while I'm also going through the department of rehabilitation they don't fund any of my shit because I get financial aid I'm sufficiently funded according to them. anything we have comes from the generosity of others. I'm currently pretty unemployable; all of my previous employment has been in the transportation industry, which I am out of as I am also, for health reasons, out of a commercial driver's license since January 2023 after the very rapid loss of my trucking job for health reasons. radical transparency because I think everyone deserves to know where the money they give to us is going: - credit card with about 3500 in charges, because we've been trying to survive since fuck knows when, this was initially a balance transfer card and I'd paid the most of it down and then we ended up needing money we didn't have to pay for things we needed but didn't have. I also made several purchases in anticipation of financial aid that wasn't what we had hoped it would be at community college, so the ghost of those hangs around. I have a couple of other small credit cards too. current monthly credit card payments total about $150. I've paid off the one that was totaling over $200/month, so that frees that money back to the rest of the credit cards. - cat food and cat litter. our cat Zoey thanks you. but seriously, this is how we're able to buy her wet food and something better than the house store brand kibble that even most of the outdoor cats won't touch. - occasional boba or other treat food/drinks, because having nice things now and then helps keep us feeling human. - necessary professional clothing. uncharted territory etc, and it's definitely taken a tone up from what we'd previously been getting away with of living in comfortable athletic clothing and pajamas and stuff. - food at the end of the month when our food stamps has run out. everything helps, from the smallest of donations to shares to large donations and anything in between. we really, really need to break out of the bubble we're in and reach some new audiences who might be able to support us, because our close friends do a lot and it's unfair for them for us to end up relying on them so much (although we're very grateful). payment methods below, with display names since it's different than here. CashApp: http://cash.app/$ceahettan (a bunch of muppets) Venmo: https://venmo.com/californiummm (dror lieb) ask for PayPal or Zelle, they're doable but my PayPal has my deadname associated to it and I try not to have that just floating around the internet. thank you, we appreciate you all!
