Longer story to follow.

Huge thanks for your donations to help @catbailey — she sends massive gratitude! 💚 Apologies for silence, her household was hit hard by COVID and she was barely conscious. She's now at an extremely critical point: need funds within a day for utilities, food, etc., to keep afloat. Please donate now if you can, or share widely! Every dollar & share helps keep her household running. Thank you for your urgent support!

To get her funds faster than GFM will:
PayPal: @catalystediting
Venmo: @BlackCatHackers
CashApp: $BlackCatOps

Please share here on the Fediverse/Mastodon and on Bluesky where she’s @blackcatswhitehats.com.

Edit: Cat’s cell service has just been disconnected. This has a direct impact on her ability to job hunt, including her ability to to participate in an phone interview tomorrow. We need approximately $50 outside the GFM to get it reconnected immediately. The next major bill due is Internet, $200 within the next week.

Howdy y’all, time marches on and regrettably, so do the bills. Our very own Cat @catbailey is still working her tail off to find a new job and land on her feet after her federal contract became a casualty of the administration change, and she needs our help while that process plays out. Impending bills include this month’s Internet, phone, power, and food for both kids and kits. If you don’t have money to spare, please lend us your boosts, everything helps!

Daily Goal: $0/750 raised

Edit: Added a daily goal, since that helps visualize

Please help. @catbailey is facing immediate loss of her kid’s inheritance due to auction of a storage unit. $730/670 raised for this specific, immediate need. Please donate via CashApp $BlackCatOps, Venmo @BlackCatHackers, or PayPal @catalystediting, the timeline for payments from the GoFundMe is too long to make a difference.

Edit: Please, if you can’t give money, at least a boost? Maybe someone in your network can.

Edit2: Please share on Bluesky as well. I’m not there, but there may be folks willing to help who are. Her handle there is @blackcatswhitehats.com over there.

Edit3: I’ll update the number as we make progress! If you’ve boosted, please consider un/reboosting, chronological timelines are the best but not for this particular task 😅

Final edit: And a big jump overnight! Thank you all! Last thing I’ll leave with is a link to the GFM, because while we’ve stopped bad things from happening here, now, Cat still needs ongoing support until she lands on her feet. https://www.gofundme.com/f/aid-for-cat-and-her-kids-in-crisis

Howdy y’all! Please see the update to Cat’s GoFundMe, which details some of the immediate expenses that have come up since the GFM began. Please spare whatever you can, whether it’s money or reach, @catbailey can’t do this without us.

Forgot to add, but some of these bills are coming due in a timeline faster than GFM can support. If any of these platforms work for you, CashApp is $BlackCatOps, Venmo is @BlackCatHackers, and PayPal is @catalystediting are preferred, and we’ll try to add those as offline donations so we can see the tally run.

I am once again asking for your financial support… for @catbailey . I’ve been a little low on spoons myself and not sharing to the extent I feel I should, so let’s catch up on that together!

You can find the #GFM here:
https://gofund.me/35d4e634

If that platform isn’t accessible to you but CashApp is, you can also help Cat more immediately through:
$BlackCatOps (no not the ransomware black cat, Cat will never forgive them for co-opting her name or, y’know, the ransomware)

And if you’ve got any stories to share about how Cat or her work has impacted you personally or professionally, please use the hashtag #HelpCatAndCo so we can find your post!

Finally, please boost, and feel free to share this over at bsky as well if you use both! She’s @blackcatswhitehats.com over there.

Reminder: My good friend @catbailey needs help, if you’ve got any ability to give or to signal boost, both are appreciated. If you have stories of how she’s helped you, large or small, please share them with #HelpCatAndCo and I’ll be sure to boost them as well.
