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.

I'm writing this post to hopefully find some assistance, any assistance. In the past month I have lost literally everything...

I'm really hoping to get together enough funds to where I can get a hotel room, preferably for more than just one night, since in my hometown it is supposed to be staying consistently well below freezing all week, and I'm currently homeless and have absolutely nowhere else to go...

This past month I have found out that I'm 3 months pregnant, I had my van that I was living in stolen, I caught a terrible flu which has now landed me in the hospital, and I've had my physical and mental health pushed to its limits...

I'm at a complete loss and I don't know where else to turn. I don't have any family or anyone else I can ask for help, or I would...

Any assistance, whether a donation, or simply words of encouragement, would be so deeply appreciated.

Thank you so much for your time, I cannot thank you enough for even just having read all of this!

Esprit de Corps: You arrived at this godforsaken island on your own; from the first day on your journey through the pale up until now, only your determination kept you sane. Things appear to have changed, however; the hollow white rectangles on his jacket introduce him as member of the Revachol Citizens Militia. The cavalry finally has arrived. You feel the warm sensation of gathering around a fireplace in the company of your bröther, calming you down. Strength in numbers. Let's get started, there is a lot to do here; what exactly though?
