Like a lot of Puerto Ricans, I’m currently part of the diáspora; part of millions of Puerto Rican living outside the island due to different reasons that drove us to leave our Island (temporary or permanent)
As of tonight (9/19/17), Hurricane Maria will be moving across Puerto Rico as a category 5 hurricane. The destruction it will leave on its wake is unknown.
It’s sad and frustrating not knowing how to help my people, my island, my country, during these hard times.
So, I’m gathering all the places we can donate money. Real organizations from Puerto Rico, to ensure that the money goes directly where it’s needed. I’ll be updating this list as soon as I can verify (to the best of my knowledge) the organizations where the donations are going.
If you wish to share one, feel free to submit the information (click here) to out page and we’ll verify (as best as we can). Whatever you can donate, even if it’s just $1, it would be greatly appreciate.
All donations to this fund will exclusively support the victims of the catastrophic Hurricane María and Irma in Puerto Rico and provide relief and aid the communities affected by this disaster.
Puerto Rico Hurricane Relief Fund – Puerto Ricans in Action: All funds will be withdrawn from the campaign on September 29, 2017, by our co-founder, Jorge Rivera, and donated to two nonprofits located in Puerto Rico working to rebuilding communities in Culebra and Loiza: ConPRmetidos is working to construction of long-enduring homes in Culebra that meet Safe Building Codes standards, and Iniciativa Comunitaria is working with community leaders in Loiza to identify immediate and long-term needs. They are also working with the United Way of Puerto Rico to give the in-kind donations we receive to the best community organization.
Other organizations that would greatly benefit from additional help:
Salam Alaikum Tumblr fam. One of my friends living in Kenya is dying from a disease in his throat. It prevents him from eating solid food. His family cannot afford the surgery to treat his condition. Please donate anything you can to help. Help others and Allah will help you https://www.gofundme.com/help-mohamednoor-ali-aden
If you cannot donate, please share.

trumpcare is back. we have to raise hell, or 32 million will lose their insurance, Medicaid will be killed, and all hell will break loose on elderly, disabled, low-income, students… that’s putting it kindly
p.s. while you are calling your senators and governors, call your house
reps as well and tell them to vote no on hr 620 (an anti-disability
bill)
THEY ARE VERY VERY VERY CLOSE TO KILLING HEALTHCARE IN AMERICA. PLEASE, CALL YOUR SENATORS AND GOVERNORS
this has a huge shot of winning, but we shouldn’t give up. Call your senators, call your governor, and call senators from other states. it is that dire. these are
McCain 202-224-2235
Capito 202-224-6472
Murkowski 202-224-6665
Collins 202-224-2523
Portman 202-224-3353
Alexander 202-224-4944
be up front that you’re out of state, emphasize the need for bipartisanship and legislate norms. tell them the truth about medical conditions you might have.
if both your senators are democrats, you can still help. use this toolkit to call citizens in other states and tell them to call their senator! instructions are on website
welcome to the next round of “I die if this passes”
IRMA JUST LEFT AND NOW MARIA IS ON HER WAY AND SHES GOING TO SLICE RIGHT THROUGH THE CENTER OF THE ISLAND AS A CAT3/4.

three nights without sleep, my mother is still in fever and is 07:33am. I am heading to the hospital using the last penny that I have to pay for the Uber and for more meds. When I came back I’ll put the receipts on the link. Please, help already if you can. I have 3 days to pay my rent. PLEASE REBLOG THIS TOO
My mom have pneumonia. I put on the flickr account the receipts of the drug store. Guys, PLEASE, I have 3 days to pay my rent. SOMEONE HELP ME. MY MOM IS SICK PRETTY BAD. On the second post of my blog you can check everything. Please, do this. We are SERIOUSLY in trouble about our rent here.

Today is the last day, bc if someone try to help me tomorrow, won’t be at time. Please, I need to.pay my rent. I am almost a week sleeping poorly, I am starting to feel sick bc of the lack of sleeping and my mom isn’t getting better yet, but our rent is in two days. Please…
I don’t know if anyone has posted this set on here yet, but I haven’t seen anything on my dash about it so I thought that I would post it. Muslims in Myanmar are being burnt alive and I’m not gonna post videos or photos because they’re brutal and I feel like muslims are dehumanized enough and I’m sick of seeing our dead bodies plastered everywhere. Unfortunately all I know is from what I’ve seen on instagram and twitter, so if anyone has anything to add on, feel free to. Keep Rohingya Muslims in your duaas.

Hurricane Irma is currently at category 5 with winds at 185 mph and worsening every three hours or so. It’s destined to hit the islands and absolutely cover Puerto Rico, so one can only imagine the damage it’ll cause to the Islands. Not one bit of Puerto Rico will manage to avoid the rains and winds of this massive, record breaking phenomenon.
It is, quite literally, the biggest hurricane these islands have faced. The largest before was in 1928 and, while also being a category 5 hurricane, had winds literally 20-25 miles slower than this one. Irma seems to only be getting stronger and is sure to bring catastrophic events worse than even Harvey.
So, please, keep us in your thoughts and prayers. ❤️
I’m realising at how I can barely afford any food with the amount of money i have in my bank account and that i will have to pay like £700 for rent and a deposit for my student residence. On top of that I have just learned that the fucking royal mail lost an important package of keys to my estate agents from last year so now they will probably have to change the locks and charge me for it. I get student finance but despite the fact i’ve done everything right they haven’t received my declaration form so while i’m sending that again who knows when i’m actually getting paid while i try to survive on savings and get a job. I’m not here to ask for free money but I do have a commissions post here it’s not much but maybe you have an oc or you’ve thought about your land stuff or something i don’t know. Thanks for reading this and I never thought I’d have to rely on my commissions so I really hope not to have to for long.
aS is cool as heck and made my sprite, as well as the sprite for my planet! I highly suggest checking his stuff out if you have the cash!
Songs for Rune, an album about me (Rune) from artists and musicians who brought you Homestuck…
Is name your price for 24 hours! All of Bandcamp’s proceeds today go towards The Transgender Law Center. They take some amount out of every purchase, and that amount today goes to a great cause. The rest of it goes to me!
But since I want everyone to hear it so much, you can pay $0, and I will be glad too! As long as someone who could use some cheering up today can get their ears on this album, everyone can pay nothing.
Spread the word!
This is today!
Guys this album is so good! Y’all should check it out 😀
