Users cannot assume that any post has been vetted and must do their own investigation.

Some basic posting restrictions are in place to filter out the most egregious attempts to scam the community, without adding an insurmountable barrier to aid. Please read the comm rules below carefully before posting.

RULES:

All mutual aid requests must go in this community.
Accounts must be at least 3 months old to post mutual aid requests. Exceptions can be made with comm moderator or admin approval.
Accounts requesting aid must have some prior posting history on the site outside the mutual aid comm. Exceptions can be made with comm moderator or admin approval.
Mods do not vet individual mutual aid requests. Donate at your own risk.
Do not request donations for funding anything explicitly illegal.
Comments giving unsolicited advice will be removed. (See below)
Comments or posts that are critical of any mutual aid post or user will be removed. (See below)
Posts containing opsec leaks will be removed.

Additionally:

If you are open to non-monetary aid please indicate so in your post
If you wish to provide unsolicited advice/resources, then please make a separate post in this community
Other types of non-specific meta posts about other users may be made in the !feedback@hexbear.net community
If you have concrete evidence of something even remotely suspicious, do not hesitate to bring it to the attention of a moderator for review via direct message
We strongly advise you ask people to send you a direct message to obtain information regarding payment to prevent inadvertent opsec leaks.
Please consider posting once a day and editing the title of a mutual aid post to include [Covered] or [Need Met] when a request has been satisfied or goal met.
Consider not making comments about receiving large donations, or about what that money is spent on.

Moderator Pinning Rules:

Moderators are strictly prohibited from promoting/endorsing/pinning individual mutual aid requests (especially those of their own) as this creates unfair post visibility and could therefore benefit more from that than the standard user. Moderators caught engaging in this behavior will be swiftly removed from the moderator board with extreme prejudice.
Moderators are allowed to pin and crosspost donation requests for large scope issues such as natural disaster relief funds and bail funds ((Example)[https://hexbear.net/post/16574) along with other crowd or moderator-compiled informational resources pertaining to donating or volunteering (Example), so long as the utmost due diligence is done prior to endorsement, especially in the case of directing people to donate to non-profit organizations.
Financial documents of non-profit organizations available to the public must be heavily scrutinized before moderator endorsement, and links to those must also be included in the endorsement post to help the community make their own decision if they should donate.

Asking for Mutual Aid for a Younger Trans Comrade (hexbear.net)

Hi all. MissPosadas is back and I'm asking for mutual aid to help out a comrade. She is stuck in Florida and on the edge of homelessness.

We have plans to move her and another friend out of Florida, but unfortunately we are about 5 months out from that.

In the meantime she needs good shelter (the place she's at now kicks her out during daylight hours), a job and money to get out of some debt. She is also working to fix a vehicle so she can maybe move out sooner than our April timeline, currently it seems to needs a replacement alternator.

Any help is appreciated, especially if you are in Jacksonville and could spare a bed for a few months.

Please DM me, and I can show proof of her need.

Again, I want to stress really hard that this is not for me, but to help out a vulnerable trans comrade.

To my understanding, she is capable of doing the repairs herself, but she doesn't have the $100 to buy the replacement. It also might not be the last repair needed.

I would pay myself, but due to missing a month of rent I've been playing catch up, and I myself have been sitting on a negative bank account since last week. I won't be caught up on all my bills and debt until January, maybe February.

After that I plan to save some cash and will fly to her and then rent a Uhaul to trek back in, but again, that has a timeline of sometime in April.
