Hi, my name is Darcy. Back in March 2018, I was diagnosed with Stage 3A lung cancer. They almost immediately started chemo and radiation therapy. It appeared to shrink the tumour at first. With the shrinkage of the tumour, I qualified for immunotherapy, which is only in the trial stages in Canada.
Here’s where everything went downhill. About 2 months ago, my liver levels went out of control. They (the doctors) found out that the immunotherapy was causing my liver to fail. It’s called autoimmune hepatitis. I am the only one in the study to have this side effect.
About a week ago, I went for a full body MRI and it revealed that I have 11 tumours on my brain. The next day, they started radiation to treat what’s on the brain and prevent it from spreading even further. They are ordering a PET scan to see where else the cancer may have spread. I have been told to prepare for the worst but hope that a miracle happens. My oncologist and I refuse to give up, even though my chances are slim.
Our family is really struggling to get by as I have not yet been accepted to disability and my wife is unable to work due to a car accident we both were in. She received a settlement but whatever we get goes to our rent ($1,350/month as it is hard to find anything cheaper in Toronto in a decent neighbourhood), our phone and cable bill, food, hydro and parking.
Because of my recent diagnosis of brain cancer, they will be revoking my license soon. This means we will be forced to take taxis to and from the cancer centre every weekday. This comes in at a cost of $30 per trip. So if any of you could dig deep and spare a dollar or so, we would be forever grateful.
The money you give will literally go towards saving my life. My PayPal link is below. I also have a GoFundMe which you can donate to here.
Verification of illness will be provided to anyone who wants it. Medical documents can be found in the GoFundMe link.

I urge some of y'all to check out some of the original soundtrack themes of Fighting is Magic from 2011-12. because those songs, especially Applejack's and Twilight's themes imo, were absolute bona-fide bops and i hope for them not to be forgotten, mlp fan or no.

hey everyone. i’m posting this on behalf of my sister, shannon. she’s in a tight spot and could really use some help.
the situation is explained in more detail on her gofundme, but here’s the short version: in late spring this year, one day after shannon’s graduation, she was s-xua-ly assaulted on campus by a former partner, and it threw a wrecking ball into her life. (pardon the censorship, i don’t want tumblr to bury this post for being “inappropriate.”)
this was someone who had been harassing, emotionally abusing and making unwanted advances on her for months, even after she had broken up with him. she has been struggling with ptsd as a result, and has come to feel too unsafe to stay in the area. this means she has lost her campus job, will no longer have a place in town to live, and doesn’t have the income she needed to pay the university, her rent, her student loans, or her bills.
the good news is that one of our aunts out in california has offered her a place to stay. it’s not a perfectly ideal arrangement, but it will get her away from her abuser and keep a roof over her head. however, she still needs as much help as she can get. she has no job prospects lined up to cover her expenses, has very little savings, and is still working to recover from the trauma she experienced.
any assistance is appreciated, no matter how small, whether that comes as a donation or a signal boost!
thank you. ❤️

Hey why do you think CN always imports shows from Canada. Why don't they usually import relatively higher quality French animated shows. It worked for Code Lyoko and Totally Spies so why not something like Wakfu or the upcoming Miraculous Ladybug. I don't think it would cause much more either.
I believe since Canada cartoons speak English. If they import French than they have to worry about dubbing.
