In light of recent scamming allegations and bans handed out, we've updated the comm rules to include two baseline requirements for requesting aid on this comm. These changes are intended to help keep the lowest effort and most predatory scammers out of the community, without raising the barrier to entry too high. See the previous thread about scammers as well as Hestia's rule suggestion thread for some further context.

  • New Rule 2: Accounts must be at least 3 months old to post mutual aid requests. Exceptions can be made with comm moderator or admin approval.

  • New Rule 3: Accounts requesting aid must have some prior posting history on the site outside of the mutual aid comm. Exceptions can be made with comm moderator or admin approval.

Thanks to all our users for staying vigilant and helping keep Hexbear a comradely and positive place.

Hello, I wanted to try and compile a list of the hexbear users seeking funds as well as people outside the site's fundraisers so that we could feature it. These have all been posted before in out mutual_aid community.

Hello friends, I've changed my donation link after encountering several issues with GoFundMe and multiple donations not being processed. I hope you'll support me and my family. Because I received several donations on GoFundMe but they didn't reach bank account, I faced this problem several times, and unfortunately, the amounts were not small. Please my friends, to share a link between your family and friends on social media.

For those who didn’t know, I am a 30-year old gamer and college graduate. I was diagnosed with autism since early age.

I am very dependent on my pension and my aunt on my budget.

There would be a lot of problems related to food and survival after graduation, such as fees while looking for a job. Job hunting may not be easy even after graduation.

So. I don't really have much of an excuse for this. I'm just flat fucking stupid and asking for help. I can pay you back as well, just... god I'm stupid.

For some backstory: I've not been super active the past month and a half because we (myself and my bestie, we shall call her J) were buying a house. Well, she is. Turns out that this process is a fucking nightmare and neither one of us have had much in the run of energy to do anything else. Between moving costs/furniture at the new place (as where I'm living came furnished) as well as a stupid amount of ADHD... I just straight up lost track of bills.

My ISP contacted me today very angry saying "Hey. Pay your fucking bill" and suspended the account. The internet is still active, I don't know for how long, and I'm doing what I can to work on that but... I mean... I work online. So having the internet shut down is going to be a nightmare for that. I can still send it via my phone but not exactly a fun tunnel to be using.

My ask is simple but shameful. Could I please get some help for the damn bill? It's $300 Canadian, apparently $213 USD (my god), but yeah. I don't know. I'm sorry for even asking this and I feel like a MORON. Also asking where I can but... yeah. I'm sorry. As for "Why the hell is it $300?" Well, my internet bill is about $140. There's a late fee. I forgot to pay last month too because, well, this. I was focused more on power bill. Ever since my shit roommate previously left, I've had a bit still worked up on one bill or the other usually. Due to that, I focused too hard on power bill and ADHD forgot internet bill existed.

If you can help at all and don't hate me on sight, please consider throwing a buck or two to my Ko-fi. Thanks for reading either way and again... I'm sorry

Edit: And sorted... thank you to everyone... I wish I had more to say or do other than just endless thank yous. But thank you

Dear friends, I am Ahmed Osama from Gaza, Palestine. I lost my beloved wife and three children during the genocide, and my 5-year-old son, Mohammed, is the only survivor. He suffered severe injuries and underwent four surgeries, but thankfully he is now recovering. Our home was destroyed, I lost my job as an English translator, and I am now responsible for my son, my elderly parents, my brother, and my two sisters, with no source of income. ‏The situation is still very difficult ‏Any support, no matter how small, would mean the world to us and help us survive and rebuild our lives. ‏Fundraising link: https://chuffed.org/project/132129-help-ahmed-osama-and-his-last-remaining-son-survive-genocide ‏ ‏Thank you so much for your kindness and support. 🙏

Hello everyone,

I would like to update you regarding my previous fundraising campaign.

GoFundMe unexpectedly closed my campaign and stopped the donations from reaching me without providing any reason. I have contacted them many times, but I have not received any response, and I have not received any of the money that was donated by our supporters.

Our situation remains extremely urgent. We have lost our home and our only source of income, and I continue to struggle every day to provide the basic necessities for my three daughters, including food, shelter, clothing, and medical care.

Because of this, I have moved my fundraising campaign to a new platform:

New campaign: https://gogetfunding.com/help-hala-and-here-family/

Any support or sharing of the new campaign would mean the world to us during this incredibly difficult time.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your compassion, solidarity, and continued support.

Hello! As y'all know, I post for the people in my life sometimes. The person I'm posting today is my long time best friend, a non-binary transmasc who I've known since middle school. To anybody that's familiar with my story, this is the friend I lived with before rehab. If anybody remembers the posts I'd makeThey supported me through my addiction, through my abusive relationship, having a place for me to sleep every time my ex did something that had me scared for my life. This is someone deeply important to me, and deserving of help.

I will also be using my payment methods for this. The reason is because they are actually an organizer and agitator where we live. I don't do anywhere near as much for a movement as they do, although sometimes they're a little bit of a lib. I'm not gonna go into all the things they lib out on, but they're all things I find forgivable. I genuinely see this person being a very important part of a leftist movement.

Years ago, my children's dreams were simple: to study, graduate, and build a better future. But war, hardship, and the overwhelming cost of higher education have put those dreams on hold. My daughter graduated from high school with an outstanding 96.4% and dreams of studying PharmD. My son has also lost more than two years of his education because of the war and financial hardship, despite his determination to continue learning. I'm not asking for the impossible—only for a chance to help them continue their education and build the future they deserve. If you can't donate, please help by connecting me with a university, scholarship, charity, or anyone who might be willing to sponsor or support their education. Your recommendation could change their lives. Thank you to everyone who donates, shares this post, or helps it reach someone who can make a difference.

I’ve borrowed my landlady’s phone to write this as I don’t have a phone of my own and the old laptop of hers I have been using until now has died. It’s my only internet access and without internet access I can’t do anything, not talk to anyone or even request mutual aid. I need to get the laptop repaired or if that’s not possible get a new cheap one. No idea how much this will cost. If anyone can help please pm me for PayPal.

I also need food aid for the foreseeable future and if anyone can help with that please send a gift card to DisabledAceSocialist@hotmail.com

The links to the gift cards are in my previous post. I don’t know how to add them here using a phone. They’re anonymous.

I’m really grateful for any help and it’s really quite urgent.

My high-achieving daughter has earned her place at university, but financial hardship may prevent her from pursuing her dream. At the same time, my son has already lost more than two years of his education because we could not afford to keep him enrolled. The hardest thing for a parent is not seeing their children dream—it is being unable to give them the chance to begin. If you can be the helping hand they need today, your support will do more than pay tuition. It will restore hope, protect two futures, and give my children the opportunity they have worked so hard to earn.

Hi all. Literally just need to get a lil bag of rice and a can of beans, and I'll be good until I can get some money for more food. Everyone in my life seems to run out of money all at once.

Was looking for transit money for the work week, but I got my new schedule and only have 1 late night shift this week so I'll get that figured out somehow.

Today is better, but where I live is in a major heatwave. I've been having a lot of seizures over the past few days. Today the temperature is down to 100 degrees from 120, still pretty bad for my seizing. Plan on just getting the money to go up to the pharmacy and not leaving until they give me a refill. My psych is in the same building so if he needs to call another script for some reason I can roll the dice on it

Today, my heart is filled with both pride and pain. My daughter graduated from high school in the scientific stream with an outstanding 96.4% average. After years of hard work and perseverance, she dreams of studying the field she loves and building the future she has worked so hard for. But reality is heartbreaking. We can barely afford our family's basic necessities, and I fear her dream will be lost just as her brother's education was interrupted because we simply could not afford to keep him in school. Please don't let another dream slip away. Any contribution, no matter how small, could give both my daughter and my son the chance to continue their education and build a better future. If you're unable to donate, please consider sharing this message. It may reach someone who can truly make a difference in their lives. 💙 Donation link: https://gofund.me/1d3ea05b6

Hello everyone, I hope you’re all doing well.

This is Suleiman.

I am currently going through one of the hardest periods of my life, but Alhamdulillah (praise be to God) for everything. I have been trying my best to raise the money I need for my travel and university coordination fees so I can continue my education, but unfortunately I have only managed to collect a very small amount.

Even so, I am grateful that I had the chance to share my story with kind people who might be willing to help. Sadly, time is running out, and I don’t have much left before this opportunity is lost.

Today, I am reaching out once again to ask for your support. My fundraiser has been inactive for quite some time, and every donation—no matter how small—brings me one step closer to achieving my dream of continuing my education.

If you’re unable to donate, please consider sharing my fundraiser with others. It could reach someone who is able to help.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart to everyone who has supported me, shared my story, or kept me in their prayers.
