Tw Animal Death, Please Consider Helping Out If You Can

tw animal death, please consider helping out if you can

Buddy, my mom's dog (who used to be mine as well) has been facing serious health issues that would be both prohibitively expensive and difficult for him at his age to undergo surgery for. My mom, who is disabled, would also not be able to provide the necessary post-surgical care for him. After much thought and consideration, we have come to the difficult decision that it is best for Buddy to be euthanized in a gentle and painless manner, rather than allowing him to continue suffering as his health deteriorates. I would like to have this done at home for both comfort and because we lack a way to transport him to the vet, and also pay for Buddy to be cremated, which adds to the cost. Unfortunately, neither of us are able to bury him ourselves, so cremation is our only option for his remains. Thankfully, someone has offered to help cover the cost of the euthanasia, but the total cost remaining for the vet to take him away after he passes and have him cremated is approximately $500. It's necessary to me that Buddy be laid to rest in a way that is respectful to him and the life he's lead and this is the only option available to us. my paypal is here, and barring that, my kofi is here. i'd genuinely appreciate any kind thoughts and well wishes during this difficult time, as pet death is something that's pretty distressing for trauma reasons. any amount of financial support would be greatly appreciated, but please do not contribute anything that would put you in a difficult financial position. i would not be asking for help if I had any other options for what to do with Buddy's remains after he passes. Thank you so much for reading and considering offering your support.

I’m homeless and could really use some help right now. Please share this around if you can. I’m sorry to ask for something like this.

I haven’t yet seen a tumblr post with these resources so I am making my own and hoping it shows up in the tags. I ASK EVERYONE WHO SEES THIS TO PLEASE REBLOG THIS.

THE INDIAN CHILD WELFARE ACT (ICWA) IS UNDER ATTACK. AND WE NEED HELP TO PROTECT IT USING THE RESOURCES BELOW.

I am not going to go into heavy detail on the bill, on its history, anything like that, the resources have a lot of information, but as a little bit of background:

It is a bill passed that forbids Native children from being adopted by non-Native families. This is for a good fucking reason, there have been historically large scoops of children taken from their Native families, at a much higher rate than white children (see the 60s scoop in Canada). These children are often abused in these homes, and their entire culture is taken from them (many end up not even knowing what tribe/nation they came from), hence the point of why they were taken in the first place (forced assimilation). Now, this does still happen through the foster care system, but this has protected in the case of adoption. It makes it that only Native families can adopt Native children.

White people hate this and have been smearing it for years (think of the whole Lexi Choctaw/Alexandria P. situation, which was so fucked how they used that little girl). Now, the state governments of Texas, Louisiana, and Indiana have taken it to the Supreme Court to be ruled unconstitutional. This case is called Haaland v. Brackeen. Because white people … really want to steal Native children. This is being heard by the court, oral arguments start WEDNESDAY. ICWA could be overturned in the matter of weeks or even days.

PLEASE USE ALL OF THESE TO PROTECT ICWA:

Petition that will involve you sending messages to your Congressional leaders through their text automated system, only available to those in the US (BUT NOTE YOU DO NOT NEED TO BE A CITIZEN, OR ELIGIBLE TO VOTE TO SIGN, JUST NEED TO BE IN THE US):

Petition to send a message to President Biden and leaders at the Department of Justice, this does have a place to put in your country so seems like it may be available for those outside of the US but I am unsure (consider also donating to the Lakota People’s Law Project if you are able to):

https://action.lakotalaw.org/action/protect-icwa

Petition to be sent to the Attorney General and Secretary of the Department of the Interior, since it is through change.org it likely can be signed from outside of the US:

PLEASE SIGN AS MANY AS YOU ARE ABLE TO. PLEASE REBLOG IF YOU SEE THIS. PLEASE HELP US PROTECT ICWA.

IT’S TAD TUESDAY
