#cash assistance

[the-cimmerians]

Today, ProPublica reports on yet another big change that stands to solve a decades-long problem we first learned about back in 2016, closing a huge loophole that allowed states to divert federal antipoverty funds to governors’ pet projects, like promoting abstinence, holding “heathy marriage” classes that did nothing to prevent out-of-wedlock births, funding anti-abortion “clinics” to lie about abortion “risks,” sending middle-class kids to private colleges, and other schemes only tangentially related to helping poor kids. It’s the same loophole that Mississippi officials tried to drive a truck through to divert welfare funds to former sportsball man Brett Favre’s alma mater, for a volleyball palace. [ ]

The agency has proposed new rules — open for public comment until December 1 — aimed at nudging states to actually use TANF funds to give cash to needy parents, not fill budget holes or punish poor people.

One change will put an end to the scheme Utah used to substitute LDS church funds for welfare, by prohibiting states

from counting charitable giving by private organizations, such as churches and food banks, as “state” spending on welfare, a practice that has allowed legislatures to budget less for programs for low-income families while still claiming to meet federal minimums.

Another new rule will put the kibosh on using TANF to fund child protective services or foster care programs, which are not what TANF is supposed to be for, damn it.

And then there’s the simple matter of making sure that funds for needy families go to needy families, not to pet projects that have little to do with poverty:

The reforms would also redefine the term “needy” to refer only to families with incomes at or below 200% of the federal poverty line. Currently, some states spend TANF money on programs like college scholarships — or volleyball stadiums — that benefit more affluent people.

I'm disabled, 2 years into applying for disability, and 3 months into applying for rental assistance. I'm trying to repair my car to work deliveries again, but I've run out of money. My current work is not enough to keep up with bills, and job hunting is slow. If anyone can help with cash for my car, I'd be super thankful.

Hope you are having a wonderful day 🖤 😘

This is some flower I had the other week, it was really good, flavor wasn't something that stood out but the effects were exactly what I wanted🥰

The strain is Pablo's revenge from Simply Herb 🌿

I'm all out of flower right now, if anyone could help me I'm out of my medicine and need just a little bit of gas money to make it to the rest of my scheduled shifts. Thank you for taking the time to read my post 😘🖤

nonbinary in financial crisis please help

just when i think it's bad it gets worse.

the last of our food has gone off and we have no money to buy anything till next week.

even just ten dollars will help, and if you can't do that, a reblog helps just as much.

please.

Desperately need $35 to get a new ID. I had $35 for it lined up, but Amazon charged me earlier than expected for a 6 month subscription to someone on Twitch, and now I am currently out ≈$30. I am also in need of funds for a legal name change and gender marker change. $anoraktrend is my cashapp for both.

$40/$35

$0/$?

Need help with vaccination and licenses for 7 pets (EDIT: All done :>)

we're being sued by the city because my aunt couldn't get her dogs and cats (5 dogs, 2 cats) vaccinated and licensed this year, as well as for having an outstanding $3k + late fees in vet bills from having to call emergency services for her pets in 2021. the vaccinations and licensing alone is about $700.

we are extremely dirt poor and cannot afford this. most of her disability and my paycheck goes just towards the bills. anything would help with this, but only if you are able to give.

we have until january 11th or else my aunt will need to appear in court in february

Edit: We paid everything off, thanks to everyone who helped!

Good Morning Friends ��️

I've had a rough go of it the last few weeks. All previous donations have been blessings from angels like you, helping my family stay at our motel in South Jersey.

I was hospitalized recently and unable to work or raise money to support my mom and sister.

It feels very humbling, and even a bit sad, to be asking for more shares, donations and prayers.

But we have nowhere else to turn until one of the many jobs I've applied to follows up with me.

Just like before, even reading our story is helpful.

A $1 donation, a like or share, and a prayer to whatever higher being you subscribe to would mean the entire world to us.

Much love for all the people who have donated and shared; you are all the reason one family could survive this long.

I have a dollar to my name and need at least 500 before the end of the month. If anyone could donate to me it would be incredibly appreciated? My venmo is: zaccartrat cashapp: $zaccartrat.

I also am always taking commissions! My prices are listed below!

I got kicked out of my living situation last night after I was physically assaulted by my partner. The vehicle I had been making payments on was in his name, and he's taken it from me. I have to place to stay, no vehicle, and no money. My Cashapp is $KylieLKay, Venmo @Kylie-Kaucher. I walked halfway to work this morning before someone offered me a ride(6 miles). I do have a job, but I'm afraid I'll lose it due to not having any money to survive until next Thursday(payday). I don't have anyone else to reach out to, which is why I'm posting here as my last resort. I could even pay someone back if i could just borrow money until my paycheck, which I know is asking a lot. I'm willing to do whatever it takes. My two cats are also still with him, and I'm worried he'll throw them out or hurt them. I live in a rural city in Alabama, and we don't have any type of shelter or even Uber, Lyft, taxis, etc. here. I'm hoping to find a couch to stay on tonight, but it's not looking good. If I had gas money, someone from work may help. I'm just feeling really suicidal at this point and don't see a light at the end of this tunnel.

I hate to keep making these posts because it’s embarrassing. But I’m hoping my tumblr community will come to my rescue. I am in need of some financial help. I can’t get approved for any loans and I need to pay my rent or they’re going to serve me with a 3-day notice. Anything helps. I’m just trying to keep a roof over my daughters head…
