Hello, I’m new to hexbear, was directed here by a friend bc of my situation.

Let me give you the long and short of it. End of January, fired from my job after inquiring about wage theft (missed a paycheck). Texas Labor Board told me to kick rocks because I was a 1099 (so no unemployment either). My Driver’s License expired around the time I lost my job, I renewed by mail, but it was never sent, or sent to the wrong address. Either way, I have to renew in person. Waited from January to JULY, only to be turned away do to having the wrong kind of bank statement to prove my personhood. Have had multiple job offers, all said the same “We can’t hire you without a valid ID”.

I’ve survived off of donations from friends, gig work (I do free lance web and graphic design) and selling my things. I have a gofundme going right now (please DM if you’d like to donate, I don’t want to link my real name to an anarchist website).

I’m $500 short on rent and will be evicted (and thus homeless with no valid ID). My landlord is “just some guy” so thankfully he’s been very patient which is good, but he’s made it clear he will file for eviction very soon. I’m kinda at the end of my rope here, I don’t know what else do right now.

Any help is so deeply and unfathomably appreciated. Money will be going basically directly to my landlord, but also to get some essentials like dog food, hygiene products, etc. The only way I have to recieve donations is the gofundme (Please DM for this) and cashapp.

I have reached out to some local mutual aid orgs but haven’t heard anything back from any of them.

Bumping I guess. I do commission work, graphic design. I’d rather work than get a donation so if that helps, here’s my work, I dunno. https://erikhoudini.neocities.org/

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.
