I'm thinking of buying a good amount of rice and dried beans. What other non perishable should I keep at hand?

Damn I thought it was a done deal, I even had chats with the folks at the research institute who would've offered the funding, and they were very optimistic. I was pretty much already expecting the next 4 years of my life to be done doing that.

Feeling kind of neutral about it tho. Maybe emotions will come later.

And this is the university where I am friends with a tenured professor, who was also pushing my application forward. If I apply to other places i'm certainly not gonna have that for any other applications. I don't even know what other programs to apply to.

First, i'm infinitely grateful to the wonderful comrade who donated some. Any bit is so appreciated.

An update: i spoke to my landlord and gave them the 50 i was donated as a show of good will. They have agreed to give me until the end of the month to pay the remaining balance. I still need some help putting that money together, so I'm coming back to you.

And for context, here's the rest of the story:

After a few months of stability, I am again unemployed. My job search is taking longer than expected, and whatever little money I had saved up was spent on main necessities. My landlord is usually chill with me paying later. At least, that was the case until last week.

I got a text asking if it was correct that I had missed the last 3 months of rent. I made up some excuse about my direct deposit not going through, and told them I'd deposit as much money as I could ASAP. The problem is, I have no savings. Whatever little money I have is already called for before the end of the month.

I should be getting paid for a job in December, which will help me survive the winter and pay for that month's rent. But it won't be enough to get square with the three months I owe. I need some help so I won't get kicked out.

As on my previous posts, I have set up a ko-fi account, where you can donate anonymously: ko-fi.com/izzysfoodtakes (don't worry about the first name and opsec, it's a new name i'm trying out but nothing to do with my real name), and I can PM you my paypal username if you prefer to use that.

Thank you for reading. Any help you can offer is a step toward keeping a roof over my head, and I am so grateful. I look forward to paying this community's kindness forward when I'm able.

I'm sorry to spam, and I appreciate everyone reading my past post, but the situation is getting difficult. I need to get my landlord some money to show good will.

Hey y'all, After a few months of stability, I am again unemployed. My job search is taking longer than expected, and whatever little money I had saved up was spent on main necessities. My landlord is usually chill with me paying later. At least, that was the case until last week.

I got a "thank you for subscribing to American Prestige" in my feed and no new episodes. Anyone have another feed? ty

So yeah, after like 3 months of tests, including an IQ test for some reason, today I was given the "good news" that I'm not making it up, I actually have ADHD, and my struggles are valid in the eyes of the medical establishment.

I asked the doctor if they had seen something related to autism, and they said yes, so next week I'll know if they're moving forward with tests for that, too.

Yay? I don't feel much, other than relief that it's over. I'll have some fast food to celebrate and take a nap.

Tag yourself I want to be Sun Ra but I'm more of a Chet.

Again, thank you all so much for the help i've received so far. It's the first time I ask for help in the mutual aid comm, and everyone has been wonderful.

I spoke to the landlord about the three months rent I owe, and they are insisting on getting at least one month's rent before the end of the month to be satisfied. I'm planning on giving them as much as i've been able to receive this month, but i don't think it's going to be the full amount. Still waiting to get started on the job i'm supposed to start at the end of the month, so not many updates on that front.

If any of y'all can help, even a little, it will go towards showing my landlord i'm really trying to get the money to be square with them.

Thank you for reading, and have a lovely sunday!

First, infinite thanks to the comrades who have contributed. You have no idea how at least having that bit of money set aside helped me motivate to not rot in executive dysfunction. You're all wonderful.

Some good news, for a change! Found a job that should tide me over for a few months while I put things in order a bit. The job should start at the end of January, and pays monthly. But at least i'll be busy and getting money!

If anyone can chip in with whichever amount you can, you'd be providing precious help. Thank you in advance, and have a lovely weekend!

EDIT: i'm a dumbass, i didn't put the details to send the money. I have set up a ko-fi account, where you can donate anonymously: ko-fi.com/izzysfoodtakes (don't worry about the first name and opsec, it's a new name i'm trying out but nothing to do with my real name), and I can PM you my paypal username if you prefer to use that.

My deepest thanks to whomever contributed, and to everyone reading. You have my gratitude!

I'm reposting my old post, because I still need your help with one month of rent for this month, any little bit will help me so much:

I've been using this handle since just about when the subreddit got nuked, and while I'm not a super prolific poster, some of you might know me for my posts on food history and philosophy.

A pretty bad year, income, physical and mental-health wise has led to me being three months late on rent. Things were pretty bad already, but I thought i could manage until my family back home (I'm an immigrant from the Global South) asked me for urgent help with money. I gathered whatever little money i had left and sent a remittance immediately. This, of course, left me with no money to even pay one month's rent.

Conveniently, the landlord has let me know that unless i pay at least one month's rent ASAP, i'm out on the streets. I am currently looking for any job that can tide me over while i get back on track, but things are kind of sedate in retail and other jobs around my area because of the new year. Some of my community around me have helped with groceries, but none of them could help me with the cash i need to keep a roof over my head, so i'm turning to you hexbears.

The place i live in is what keeps my fragile mental health still going, and I honestly don't know what I would do without it. If you can spare anything at all, I would appreciate it so much.
