merciful-death:

ooc; So, I really, really passionately hate asking for things, and unfortunately, this is the second time in a year that I’ve had to post about veterinary bills.

This is Spice.  She’s my dad’s cat, she’s almost eight years old, and she’s a sweetheart.  She’s been really sick.  A trip to the veterinarian revealed that she’d been retaining fluid in her abdomen and that her white blood cell count was through the roof.  It all happened very suddenly.  The veterinarian has diagnosed her with peritonitis in the abdomen, though we’re still not sure of the exact cause.  There’s a chance it could be FIP.

She had to have an emergency surgery that’s required hospitalization at the vet’s.  Our bill thus far is over $900.

Money has been really tight this past year and I’ve already almost maxed out my credit cards.  My dad has been in and out of the hospital this year and hasn’t been able to work due to his disabilities.  I’m his primary caregiver.  I work two jobs and a good chunk of my money goes to covering his medications, insurance, and groceries.  I sincerely would not ask for money if I didn’t truly need it.  Getting Spice back to good health is so important to us.  She’s a precious cat that we love dearly.

I’m willing to make graphics or do drabble requests in return for any money donated.  Any little bit helps.

My GoFundMe is here.

Thank you so much. ;;

Help a VC fandom member kitteh out, show some $ love! If you can’t,
please reblog.

I know I JUST reblogged a $ignal boost thing in the last 24 hrs, and
I try not to do these too often for obvious reasons. I do know this person, the mun is a wonderful person with an enormous heart who has been called the “Mom” of our fandom on occasion for all she does to try to promote fanartists and encourage peace and friendship here, but that’s not a factor here.
I’m fortunate that I have a job, and can afford to be financially supportive
when possible. 

What
if you were in this situation? Can you imagine the amount of strength it takes
to ask strangers for financial support?

TL;DR:
My point is this: All of this tumblr content you enjoy is free (aside from
whatever you pay your internet provider and whatever device(s) you paid for to
access it). I don’t have a ‘Donate’ tip jar on my blog. All of my content is
free.

If
you enjoy this stuff, please consider how little even $5 would be to pay for
the years of material I (and others) have produced for your pleasure in our
archives. merciful-death is offering to write drabbles or make graphics, don’t you need a fancy promo graphic? You do.

Take
that $5 (or more! *u*) and send it to someone whose life would be significantly
improved by it.

Like, if we were to meet one day, and you were to gush about how much you love my blog (bc you obviously do, I mean, c’mon, you know it’s true), would you pony up the $5 for a coffee to sit with me and squee over fanart in our coffeeshop AU? PUT THAT $5 TOWARDS THIS CAUSE.
