#basic needs

[sailoreuterpe]

Using the bathroom in general is a human right and should be enshrined as such and I'm not joking. Too many groups of people are denied bathroom breaks or the use of bathrooms entirely--disabled people, blue-collar workers, children, homeless people, prisoners, students, the elderly. I'm surely missing other groups. Not using the bathroom when needed can cause serious, long-term damage, not to mention death. Free, clean, accessible bathrooms should be available everywhere. It's fucking cruel to deny someone the use of the bathroom, regardless of the reasoning. I'd rather every student in the world goof off and every homeless person make a mess and every worker "steal company time" than let one person suffer because they're denied the right to fucking pee in peace.

You know, instead of spending $10 on blazing posts no one will really care for, you can use that $10 and help 14 year old @ahmadwaleed555 regain funds for his campaign for his family.

He recently had to start a new one because the organizer did not maintain contact with him after 2 months.

As of writing this post, he has risen only $285 / $3,500 (short term goal). As you can see, this campaign is moving slowly.

He is vetted here. (#167)

These funds are used to purchase a new tent, and other supplies so they may get through the winter.

14 year old ahmed waleed is in gaza and has to start a new fundraiser because he is unable to contact the person who was organising his previous gofundme. he is starting a new fundraiser from scratch. he needs to buy a tent as his current one is torn and cannot protect him from the cold and winter has started in gaza.

his fundraiser has been verified and is number 167 on el-shab-hussein and nabulsi's list of verified fundraisers. you can help him by donating or sharing his fundraiser. you can read his story in his own words here.

Alright, so, a little update on @lawrence86sblog and their dire situation. They gave me more information on how things are going in their life in a form of masterpost, which I assume they post on their account as well. I already made a post explaining how their lives are.

I hope that this reaches enough people who can help them, along with many other queer individuals get the basic necessities for one's life. However, I stated on previous posts, they don't have a fundraiser and are unable to set one up due to, as they stated, being in Africa. I don't think that I can set up a fundraiser, because I'm not familiar with the concept of sharing money via the internet — however, if someone is willing and can set up one for them, I believe it would help them out.

Steren/Astro, out.

Hi friends,

It is difficult for me to find the words to describe what we face every day in Gaza; with no food, no medicine, no clean drinking water; with oppression, helplessness, psychological pressures, doubts, and daily traumas caused by everything around us and inability to care for loved ones. the fear of danger, disease and death never leaves us.

Now, I find myself in this difficult situation, and humbly ask for your help to save the lives of my family, and helping us have money for medication or other necessities we may have access to.

Asking for help is not easy, but we were left with no choice because we want to survive and we strive to rebuild our broken lives. We are very grateful for any help you can provide, no matter how small, as your help will contribute greatly to alleviating our suffering.

I hope you will share my story with your family and friends.

Vetted !!!

Today, after 15 months of torment, displacement, and living in constant fear, my family and I find ourselves in an unbearably difficult situation. Life has become a daily struggle, and everything we once knew has turned to darkness. The impact of the genocidal war against Gaza has torn us apart, leaving us facing hunger, disease, and a deep sense of loss. Most devastating of all, my sister and I have been unable to attend school, robbing us of our dreams for a better future.

Now, as we prepare to return to northern Gaza, where our home once stood, we carry with us the immense weight of loss. Our home is destroyed, and the emotional and physical scars are deep. The pain is unbearable for my family and me, but despite it all, we have not lost hope. We still dare to dream of a brighter tomorrow—a future where we can rebuild what was taken from us. My personal dream is to continue my education and achieve the goals that have always been within my reach, but now it seems so far away.

However, the road to recovery is long and steep. The cost of rebuilding our lives is overwhelming. Everything we once relied on is either gone or too expensive to restore. The price of basic necessities—food, medicine, shelter—has skyrocketed. The infrastructure is shattered, and even getting the most basic supplies has become a daily challenge. The war has left us with nothing, and with the added financial strain, continuing our education feels impossible without help.

This is why I am reaching out. My family and I need your support now more than ever. We ask not for pity, but for your compassion, your prayers, and your belief in a brighter future for us. We need your help to lift us out of the darkness and give us a chance to rebuild. My sister and I can’t continue our studies without your assistance, and my family cannot start over without your support.

I am Ahmed, and I am asking for your help with the certainty that there are still people like you in this world who believe in second chances.

Please, help us rise again.

[the-cimmerians]

The study, by the USC Suzanne Dworak-Peck School of Social Work and nonprofit organization Miracle Messages, showed such promising results that the authors decided to publish interim results six months into the yearlong study. As the Los Angeles Times reports, the stipend made a significant difference, with the money going to:

food, 36.6%; housing, 19.5%; transportation, 12.7%; clothing, 11.5%; and healthcare, 6.2%, leaving only 13.6% uncategorized. Those who got the stipend were less likely to be unsheltered after six months and able to meet more of their basic needs than a control group that got no money, and half as likely as the control group to have an episode of being unsheltered.

And no, Joe Manchin, the money didn’t all go to drugs and alcohol. According to the study’s lead author Benjamin Henwood, who directs the Center for Homelessness, Housing and Health Equity Research at the Dworak-Peck School, about two percent of the funds went to alcohol, drug expenses, or cigarettes — primarily cigarettes, in fact.

“It may not be earth-shattering that providing money is going to help meet basic needs, but I do think it dispels this myth that people will use money for illicit purposes,” Henwood said. “We weren’t finding that in the study.”

One of the most impressive results was that the stipends seem to have really helped people get off the streets:

After six months, only 12% of those who received funds reported being unsheltered at any time in the prior month, a dramatic decrease from 30% at the outset. Those on the waiting list also reported fewer unsheltered episodes, but by a much smaller margin, from 28% to 23%. […] Among those receiving the funds, some found permanent housing, even though the money fell far below average rents in the area, Henwood said. “It seems like it’s opening up possibilities in different ways,” he said. “They might have a friend or relative that may not be willing to support them completely, but if they have something to contribute that opens up a room.”

Those are preliminary results, but they’re pretty encouraging; after the study runs a full year, a more comprehensive report will be done; Henwood told the LA Times he didn’t expect those initial robust results to change significantly.
