Sisakkuy-tasum - Tumblr Posts
After hearing a little more about diabetes from a Filipino classmate today, it got me thinking about the rising temperatures & health problems. This seems to particularly affect the Polynesians & Melanesians even more than it does for most of us, or even West Asians--who are particularly vulnerable to it--and their famously strong sweet tooth. In any case, a few weeks in the cold should do wonderfully if this is true.
For the support of natives abroad, I’d give my support if I had monetary means at the moment. Some free or low cost testing kits & medical equipment (like infrared thermometer & masks) would be great. It’s especially dire because many among them have underlying illnesses like sisakkuy-tasum (diabetes) or hutne-kemorit-tasum (hypertension) that would exacerbate the issue even more.
Would ye be able to do so? For the sake of the ones truly in need, can ye give the needful for support?
More than 1/8th of the White Mountain Apache Tribe has tested positive for Covid-19.
They have been hit EXTREMELY hard and I have seen no posts going around talking about it. It is one of the hardest hit places in ARIZONA, a state that already has horribly high case numbers.
They have a Covid relief gofundme. Please donate if you can and spread this if you can't.
