Car has new radiator and been cleaned out. Vacuuming the mats and sprayed with deodorizer is a big mental booster. Final step is to finalize packing and get to baking. #PAXUPrep

Help out if you can, boost the signal either way! Tanya is a dear friend, an amazing creator, and all around awesome person that I'm lucky to know.
Let's hit that goal while she looks for new work!

So I did the thing after some encouragement to update the goal. Not fussed if we don't hit it, but that cushion would make the next 3 -4 months much easier since job hunting is... demoralizing at best.
Hopefully no one sees this as greedy, or milking folks who want to help out. gofund.me/68950306a

These are the senators at risk of caving.
Please call them - especially if you live in their state. Please tell them to not cave until you get guarantees on healthcare. (Not just empty promises from Rs)
What was the point in all this if Dems cave now without any guarantees?

Folks want you to stand up for something. Your hot air doesn't put food on the table, pay our rent, or cover our health care. Stop listening to the consultant class and hold the line.

Senate democrats planning to cave on the ACA TONIGHT. They are planning to agree to reopen the government with extreme premium increases STILL IN PLACE. If you've been on an ACA plan you know how disastrous that would be. Call your senators and call Chuck Schumer and tell them to hold the line

Call the United States Capitol switchboard at (202) 224-3121 and they will connect you with your senator's office.
If you're represented by one of the squishier centrists, be sure to make a call. Now.

Sounds like the squishes in the senate caucus are ready to pull the plug with no ACA changes. This is real. If you want to register your opinion you shld call yr senator in the next hour. They not only want to reopen w/nothing. They want cover from their colleagues who still want to hold out.

Y'all, I'm asking for help for a member of my community to not be on the street when they've got a job in hand, and need to stay housed so they can start and keep that job.
I've seen folks help people with a last minute save, and Briggsy needs one today.

I’m begging.
I only have until today. If I don’t pay $1880, I’m on the street. I have a job, Ii start soon, and I don’t want to be homeless on my birthday. 😞
Please. I’m almost out of this; I don’t want to lose everything.
