my friend is a brown muslim bisexual woman who’s family has hit hard economic times. Fleeing the Netherlands at one point due to extreme islamophobia, they decided to return for better access to medical mental health care. moving is expensive, being pressured to move is even more expensive. all of this compounds with the current COVID-19 pandemic, due to strict border requirements my friends cat Skitty is currently stranded in Istanbul. they are currently in need of money to both bring Skitty home AND contribute to their family’s rent and grocery expenses while they resettle. If she cannot gather the funding Skitty will have to be humanly euthanized.
We can all empathize with the lonely feelings of the pandemic. i personally can say i wouldn’t have made it through this all this far without my pets, and i’m sure some of you feel the same. Emotional Support Animal doesn’t come close to explaining how important this little cat is to her. They have spent agonizing months apart (for the both of them!) and it would mean so much to have them reunited.
we are at €816/€5000 rn! this is a great start but my friend still needs help covering the rest of the pet fees as well as supplying her family with rent for their first months back.
non euro users can donate btw, gofundme will handle the conversion. pls keep spreading, send to ur rich aunts ect. all of this has been very helpful
Over 2000 euros guys!!!!! Nearly halfway there. This will be such a big help to her, skitty cat, and her family. Let’s try to reach the full 5k, please keep sharing on any platform you possibly can. Tumblr, twitter, even facebook and Instagram would be great places and real easy to share the link there. Appreciate you all!
