RULES:

1. Mods do not vet individual mutual aid requests. Donate at your own risk and hold each other accountable. If you see something even remotely suspicious, do not hesitate to bring it to the attention of a moderator for review.
1. All mutual aid requests must go in this community.
1. Do not request donations for funding anything explicitly illegal.
1. Sending censored donation receipts to the moderator team is based.
1. Moderator Pinning Rules:
a. 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.

b. Moderators are allowed to pin and crosspost to !main donation requests for large scope issues such as natural disaster relief funds and bail funds (Example) 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.

c. 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 as to whether or not they should donate.

I'm out of food stamps for the month (hexbear.net)

I’m incredibly fucking thin, even with the like $298 that Brandon so dutifully deposits onto my food stamp card on the 2nd of each month. Because I’m homeless, I can’t store staple items like pasta or whatever, and I don’t have a way of cooking anything either, so I wind up burning through it in a week and a half on average.

I have what I believe are health issues from years of barely eating. It effects me psychologically, which is absolute Hell. It’s like losing who I am.

And now I’m probably getting cut off after this month because Brandon thinks I’m an “able-bodied adult without dependents.”

I’ve been having a rough go of things recently. Last night I slipped and fell and dislocated my knee or something. I’m alone and depressed and it’s cold and miserable (I don’t mind the rain or even snow; the worst days are when it’s sunny and windy, like today). I know whatever I get kicked down from this post won’t last me long (I plan on getting cookware and a fresh can of propane, but still), but it sure would be fucking great to have a couple days where I don’t feel like I’m dying.

I can accept money through my friend’s CashApp, . I think they have PayPal and Venmo as well but I’ll have to ask.

If you wanna DoorDash me that’s cool too, just DM me for info.

Thankies.
