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.

Search this community for #BringSoraHome to see all related posts.

Please read and sign our petition:
https://www.change.org/BringSoraHome

(from the most recent change.org update)
I apologize for taking so long to update everyone. Even though I am learning how to better deal with this horrible situation, my condition and wellbeing since having Sora taken away from me has not improved and in some ways has worsened. I am getting the medical and mental health attention I need, so I am in no danger and I am being treated well.

But my condition makes doing regular things extremely difficult. I have been talking to a number of people, but I could never find the energy to do much else. I have been going back and forth with many people in Ireland and in Japan about what has happened and what I need help with. It is very slow going, but a precious few people are actively talking to me and helping me.


Representation or not, I have to submit documentation to the Courts and to the opposition in physical form. Multiple binders worth of information. Since I have recently burned through the last of the money that was previously sent to me to stop Sora from being ripped from his home and his father, I cannot move forward without further assistance.

I need somewhere between €100 to €200 before this weekend to afford the material cost and postage to meet a pending deadline for submissions.

If you can help out, even just a little bit, please do. I seriously need it and there is absolutely no margin for error anymore. If you cannot donate, please show this post and the petition to your family and friends and ask if there is anything they can do to help. I have received a small amount of money so far, but I am going to need a lot more very soon.

I don't know how, but I have to succeed in arguing that deporting Sora was a mistake and that he needs to be with his father as he had been for his whole life and in Ireland to receive the competent mental health care that was concluded that he needed. Please help us.

Hey comrades :) !!!…..I hope you’ve all been doing well.

I’ve been meaning to share this update for a few days. I wanted to wait until our organizer had time to update the GoFundMe page after receiving the recent support, since he’s been busy with work.

I just wanted to come back and say thank you.

Because of your kindness and solidarity, we were able to catch up on our overdue rent and restock food and other basic necessities.

I’ve attached a few photos so you can see some of what your support made possible.

After months of worrying about rent, food and simply getting through each day, it’s a huge relief to finally have some breathing room.

We were also able to set aside a small amount for future essentials, so if we run out of groceries or need to buy cooking ingredients, we’ll have something to fall back on instead of facing an immediate crisis.

Thank you to everyone who donated, commented, boosted and shared my post. Every act of support helped us reach this point and I’ll never take that kindness for granted.

I’m deeply grateful to this community and I’ll continue to keep you all updated as we move forward.

With love,

Onandrah ❤️❤️❤️

Every person deserves the chance to live with dignity, and every student deserves the chance to pursue an education. I am a mother of a large family in Gaza, struggling to meet our basic daily needs while fighting to keep my children's dreams alive. My high-achieving daughter dreams of studying Pharmacy, and my son has already lost years of education because of our circumstances. We simply cannot afford either our essential living expenses or their university education. Any support, no matter how small, can help provide for our family's basic needs and give my children the opportunity to build a better future.

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.

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.
