I’ve posted here a couple of times before.

Some good news: Not in danger of eviction (for now), was able to get my Driver’s License and I have applied to things like SNAP (food stamps) and similar benefits. Of course, I haven’t heard anything back about those benefits, I got some help finding out more about what to do to get those (know where to go IRL now). They absolutely make applying for help so confusing intentionally.

Just asking for a few bucks to get some food while I play the waiting game, nothing crazy, just a bit more help. I was hoping I wouldn’t need to beg for money from strangers once I got some food stamps or something but alas. Not going to turn this into a vent post but the help I’ve gotten over the last few months from random internet strangers has been life saving.

Total Donations: $3,344.65

SEND SANDINBAND DONATION RECEIPTS.

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.
