My beautiful friend Azine needs $150 by tomorrow for accessible shelter, because the place where she's staying is making her life-threateningly sick.

She's severely chronically ill, without income or benefits, would not survive on the streets, and is suicidal from the stress of her situation.

So far Azine's survival has been almost totally funded by other sick and disabled people. Terminally ill Bunny donated his life savings.

Now (right now, tonight) Bunny's beloved emotional support/seizure alert rabbit Monsouir has a dangerous infection and needs the vet immediately. That's $145 including travel - and he has no money left.

Bunny is a suicide risk if Monsouir dies, so basically, we need $300 tonight to save 2 humans and one animal life.

Please send Paypal donations for both to paypal.me/xcriteria - and please share! Thank you - @evanjacques

Max cannot post here anymore because in the effort to help others, she has not been able to get any help herself.

It's been a strange experience seeing how many people have gratefully absorbed the work she's done, but are silent or seem to have no idea that she is dying in digestive failure without simple assistance.

This is mostly because she cannot communicate when she is in worst distress.

We found out recently that she was not dead after weeks of not hearing from her at all, and we would like to address the weird dichotomy of the network she has been instrumental in building versus the silence when she asks for help.

If you want to help, but you have felt helpless, here's what you can do.

1. Max needs a few hundred dollars a week for the interventions that will save her digestion and her life. She currently has zero income and no way to access these interventions without money.

You can take a collection to the following PayPal address (and please contribute a few dollars yourself, if you can), which will help Max repair her digestion so that she can return to working in the network.

You can raise awareness and support for the following two Patreon initiatives, which also will provide an income stream she can rely on.

πŸ’Έ https://patreon.com/IntuitivePR
πŸ’Έ https://patreon.com/MaxMoRadio

2. You can send us a statement for public use that tells about your experience in the network or your feelings about Max's work. Please send this to public@intuitive.pub or contact us any other way you are able.

3. You can help us write an email or a letter and help us send it to someone we're trying to contact, but have not been able to reach because of severe disability. If you would like to help this way, please contact hello@intuitive.social or contact us any other way you are able.

4. If you are able to use Facebook (or another popular social network of your choice!), you can help us boost information to platforms we cannot reach. If you would like to help this way, please contact hello@intuitive.social or contact us any other way you are able.

What are the ways we have forgotten? There are lots of ways to help.

Maybe you will remember one I didn't!

There is no reason for survivors to have to scream and beg for help while they are dying. Not anymore.

The Intuitive Community Network, and the Intuitive Community Knowledgebase, allow us to build simple income streams for survivors who have been disallowed their own income.

Max is dying of digestive failure because she has refused to scream and beg when it is much simpler & safer for us to collaborate to build these income streams for one another.

She put off her own needs to ensure the network could function and survive. She fund-raised and built solutions for others.

We can't let her die this way. Please.

Will you please help us help her?

With hope and light,

Gilda Salmon Saaxon
We are requesting collection for friends and colleagues who are suffering severe conditions through the holidays.

Max is dying of digestive failure because she does not have any income, safe food, or healthcare support despite having worked non-stop on behalf of others for the last several years.

Other colleagues in our network are in similar circumstances. They all deserve relief for the faith they have shown in the life-saving work they have been doing.

If you have any income, if you have a safe place to stay, food to eat... if you have friends or a community that cares for you, please consider putting a few dollars (or more) into this PayPal account.

πŸ’Έ https://paypal.me/IntuitiveInvisibles

If you'd like to make a recurring contribution, these two Patreon accounts will be updated as soon as someone is strong enough to update them, and in the meantime it will build income streams for those who need (and deserve!) them most.

When you are considering how to move through this coldest time of year and holidays that remind us to care for one another, please do not forget about those who have worked to save the lives of others while they are dying themselves.

They can survive and recover, with our help.

Please copy, paste, and pass this message on.

Thank you - joined this and hoping my brain cells can participate or help someone else participate at some point.

I wish they had a website tho, not just fb.

After the Valley Fire in 2015, I found 211 to be useless. Yet they constantly told us to use it. It mostly connects a person to organizations like United Way, and though they are a household name, they had nothing to provide. I am not sure WHAT they do tbh.
By what steps do we restore economic independence, media privilege, and professional authority to survivors of severe disability, violence, and sex trafficking?
Upcoming Daily: Intuitive Public Media, 7am Eastern.

Each day, we ask this question: By what steps do we restore economic independence, media privilege, and professional authority to survivors of severe disability, violence, and sex trafficking?

This daily community group is sponsored by the courageous compassion of our community members.

All participants welcome. No money required (but donations appreciated, https://Intuitive.community/donations).

Email grow@Intuitive.community for access info and how to participate with the group from outside our scheduled time frame.

Vesper Moore's post, including this article by Stefanie Lyn Kaufman-Mthimkhulu vehemently supported by community members:

' We need more peer support and community response networks. We need to put power back into the hands of the people. We need the people most impacted to not only give input but to run and be responsible for the inception of all system services. We need those who are marginalized to take the lead in each community not out of expectation or tokenization but humanization.

β€œReplace the cops with mental health workers!” is a really well-intentioned statement, but the current mental health system is also a white-dominated, violent, coercive, and unaccountable structure that disproportionately harms people of color.” β€” Morgan M. Page '

Hello, all. Joy and opportunity!

My fingers have stopped working (and quite painfully).

Due to sheer necessity, I'm in the habit of prioritizing continuous rescue support for others in our network while I am #severelydisabled with zero income. My body's physical survival needs have been compounding unfortunately in arrears.

Urgently needed are basic clothing to cover myself, shoes that fit, emergency medical supports, and money for safe food.

Will you please put a few dollars (or --- why not? --- a lot more than a few) in https://paypal.me/IntuitiveInvisibles? If you do, this will help me swiftly repair my body's function, safeguard our media infrastructure, and get back to work.

Upcoming soon in the @IntuitivePublicRadio production queue is truly groundbreaking content in support of multiply-marginalized, severely disabled communities, asking and answering questions that are addressed *nowhere else.*

I am so proud of what we have been building.

If you help me get my needs met, we will be able to much more substantially share it.

You can also share dollars with me via https://venmo.com/code?user_id=2958203662893056145,
https://cash.app/$IntuitivePublicRadio,
& https://patreon.com/IntuitivePR.

More great donation options can be found on this page: https://Intuitive.community/donations

If you don't have shareable dollars, I could really use your support a different way: https://Intuitive.pub/support

Survivors of Severity are depending on us.

Thank you for making this difference.

With gratitude for relief from suffering,

Max (Megan Elizabeth) Morris
