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.

This is a copy-paste from yesterday's post with one detail added about how much they supported me through my addiction

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. They have gone out on a limb to help me, even when I was in active addiction being a menace. When I was blacked out, I'd throw up and miss the toilet and be so drunk I wouldn't realize that I threw up.

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.

I've managed to pay my rent and my sister is going to help me with groceries but I'm dead broke till Friday the 7th. I need Uber to commute to work and my gas bill is due on the 5th.

Gas bill is $66.32 with what I believe it a $2 dollar fee, so $68.32 is likely what I'll have to pay in full to cover it.

Uber is less consistent; rides tend to fluctuate in price, but generally range between $11 per ride to $16 per ride. It very rarely goes higher or lower than that. So for four days, two trips a day, that should be about $128 give or take that I'd need before I get paid on Friday.

So in total I need roughly $196.32 or just short of $200.

Any amount, even if it's only $5, can help me immensely and I appreciate whatever you can give. If you can't give anything then the least you can do is boost. Thanks in advance.

UPDATE: Sister was able to give me a ride to work Monday but I don't know if she'll be able to the next three days. This isn't a reliable option; she's got her own stuff going on. Trying to find a co-worker who can help but no luck so far. I don't know many people here and they're scattered all over. I've gotten nothing in 24 hrs. Please help if you can.

Spoiler below for why I have to use Uber to get to & from work, for those curious.

spoiler

I'm trying to enlist my sister to give me rides but that may not be possible as she's currently battling insomnia in the mornings to drive me to work and is too busy in the afternoons to pick me up so I'm not expecting her to be able to help me.

My only other transport options are my bike and the bus, neither of which are viable options at the moment. I don't own a car nor do I have a license to drive. Work is too far to walk, especially in this Summer heat.

My bike is currently out of commission due to a flat tire. My tire pump doesn't work and I can't afford to take it to a repair shop. Even if I could get it fixed there's nowhere to ride it on the route to work; the ground is too uneven even for a mountain bike (which is what I have), there are no sidewalks, and there are no bike lanes. I'm not riding on the road, too many people get killed that way.

As for the bus I attempted to try the local transit system but just one experience turned me off from it for good. The route is nonsensical and follows a ridiculously convoluted path with stops placed at irrelevant locations and seems to be designed to the exclusive benefit of the local Amazon Warehouse, the directions along the route are vague and unhelpful, there is no physical map for riders to study the routes, there aren't enough buses and they're not spaced out enough, a malicious driver wouldn't let me off at my stop because she was in a bad mood and had nothing but disdain for her riders frequently going off on them and just in general being extremely hostile over the most trivial reasons and forced me to walk home from the next step further up the road which took 40 mins while it was 80F outside after doing manual labor - including standing on my feet, on a concrete warehouse floor, the whole time - for 8 hrs that day.

It took me almost four hours to get home for a trip that should've taken less than two.

All of this was bad enough on its own but it was the bus app itself that cemented my refusal to use the system for good. The app is poorly optimized and frequently crashes & freezes, to the point I almost missed paying my fare twice because I couldn't get it to work. The real-time tracking of buses only works for one of the buses I had to take, while the bus I had to switch over to never once showed up on the in-app map making it impossible to know where it is. I had to spend an hour waiting at a stop for a bus that should've been there within 20 minutes, according to the app itself which kept giving arrival times that didn't reflect reality. Finally, the straw that broke the camel's back, I put $50 into the app thinking I was gonna use it often because I didn't realize how bad the transit system was. When I got home from that one bad trip I deleted the app out of frustration but later decided to give the bus another try, only to discover my account - which I didn't delete, mind - was now empty and, per the app's terms of conditions, there was no way to get that money back. So not only was I down $50 but I couldn't even use it for bus fares because that money no longer existed the minute I deleted the app even though my account remained unchanged. In other words they robbed me blind and left me looking like a fool.

That is why I can't use the local transit system and why I rely on Uber, which I won't pretend I'm a fan of but at least it has never screwed me like that.

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.

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. 🙏

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

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.

My partner attempted suicide. I need 50 dollars to be able to uber to and home from the hospital to visit, drop off books/clothes, and talk to hospital staff.

cashapp is $slimecore PayPal is jamiehexjoyce@gmail.com

please help.

Edit: Tysm tysm its beyond appreciated

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.

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.
