Stares in me doing #DirectGivingSavesLives work for 10 years. You think I don't have a vetting process?

FURTHERMORE - stop worrying about someone MAYBE trying to *checks notes* get $300.

She had to beg the vet to give her until tomorrow to pay you 🤡.

Thank you to everyone who gave. Screenshots below.

For those unfamiliar with my #DirectGivingSavesLives work, I always protect the identity of recipients- they are dealing with enough & people are weird.

A graphic with a white background and teal and black circular designs. The text reads: "DIRECT GIVING" in bold black letters. "URGENT ASK" in large, bold teal letters. "SAVES LIVES" in bold black letters below. The design emphasizes urgency and the impact of direct giving.

URGENT ASK. I have a Black Woman cancer patient who is short on funds for her medication and care.

Goal is $250 to get her a little breathing room and get the supplies she needs for the next month or so.
