tobeabird had to leave her rental accommodation on Sunday June 5th, just as technicians finally... after a couple of weeks of bugging her landlord... came to fix the air conditioning. They did not turn the air conditioner on when they were done. She arrived home this evening to find the house a stifling 85 Fahrenheit degrees. Her cats, Mac and Zoey were suffering heat prostration. Three foam fursuit head bases that she was going to sell were ruined, as were several bottles of expanding foam and resin that she uses to make bases were spoiled. She can't afford to replace them.

To replace the spoiled expanding foam and resin will cost Phoenix $200. Luckily, her stock of fur seems to have survived. She's offering commissions on foot paws, hand paws and tails. Please consider helping this hot Furry fursuit maker.

Here is Phoenix's own journal on the subject with further details. -- http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/7639297/

Here is Phoenix's gallery for your perusal. -- http://www.furaffinity.net/gallery/tobeabird/

And remember, if you'd like to help, but can't contribute right now, a signal boost is usually helpful, too. You may copy-pasta this journal, the URL links should still work but you might need to re-make the personal links.

 walt46 had something useful to say about the Pulse massacre.
Fred Rogers once maintained that in a disaster, you look for the helpers.

If you are interested in helping, here are a few handy tips:

1. There is a GoFundMe site if you want to make donations. Thoughts and prayers are all very well, but there are people needing help.

2. Donate blood if you can. The blood banks are full now, but there are still wounded, and they'll need it.

3. If you have a friend who says that the gays deserved this, call them out on it. NO ONE deserved this.

4. If your minister/pastor/rabbi/imam/shaman says that the gays deserved this, call them out on it. For you Christians out there, a reminder - Jesus ran with the marginalized.

Finally, I'm asking that those who follow me here on FA to please signal boost this journal.

I'm afraid that right now, I'm too poor to give money and too anemic to give blood. But at least I can signal-boost. Here's that GoFundMe site again. -- https://www.gofundme.com/PulseVictimsFund
