my name is katie, i am from the indianola/des moines area of iowa (not exactly but close enough). when i turned 18, i immediately got kicked out, and in a long story short, told to figure things out on my own since i was an adult. i have been homeless since January of last year. i am type one diabetic, and being diabetic- my medicine is super fucking expensive. being homeless, ive reached low blood sugars ive never reached before, and extreme highs with possible ketoacidosis. roughly, my medicine costs anywhere from 200-300, depending on if i get both humalog and lantus, test strips, etc. i have been looking for a job basically since i was first homeless. it is hard however because i dont have working service on my phone, so no number or texting, and i also dont have a pernament address, or even nice clothes to present myself in a way that is appealing to employers. this city has a strict no homeless policy and you can get fined heavily if caught sleeping out in public, there are many homeless shelters around me, but every single one has a 1 to 2 year waiting list. A question people always ask is, how are you on tumblr? well luckily our local mcdonalds has free wifi (a few other places as well), and the library and mcdonalds both have charging stations. everytime i get any remote amount of money it goes directly towards my insulins and test strips, which i need to them to live. any money that is saved up goes towards that, therefore i am not able to save for a place to stay, or presentable clothing, or to turn on my phone.
LONG STORY SHORT
i am in desperate need of insulin and test strips, with this crisis going on my insulin is extremely expensive. for one of my insulins it is a 500 fee. I NEED THIS INSULIN TO SURVIVE, PLEASE REBLOG OR DONATE IF POSSIBLE. i have a compromised immune system already, and with high blood sugars it gets easier to become sick. PLEASE REBLOG OR DONATE IF POSSIBLE. i need to have this post boosted before the pharmacy jacks up the fees again.

i couldnt find a reference sheet of wings on humans that i liked so i made my own. Feel free to use as reference. Keep in mind that i used kingfisher wings as reference, different wings have different purposes.

evictions will begin again in NYC in about a month, and this will leave many people and families homeless, which in the heart of this country's epidemic could be a death sentence. shelters are already overcrowded as it is.
please donate to the NYC Eviction Fund started by Esteban Martinez here:
many cities are also about to be facing a mass eviction crisis. one way to help is donate to or start mutual aid funds like this specifically for eviction prevention in your city. housing is a human right!
I'm always to nervous to send asks to my favorite artists and I'm!!!!
