update on my housing situation ~

With the end of summer swift approaching, I've been looking forward hopefully to moving in with a relative who lives about an hour away. I would've been able to transfer to a nearby Walmart, and my expenses for rent would be less than half of the cost of what I'm paying to stay at budget motels. Those plans are delayed indefinitely as, fortunately for her, she's had some relief for the osteoarthritis pain she suffers and has returned to work full-time. For now, she can manage her mortgage without needing additional income from renting to me (although she's unable to maintain her property, clean or even vacuum, which would've been my responsibilities). She also wants to keep her spare room available for her daughter, who's been having trouble meeting her rent for an apartment she shares with her boyfriend in the Bronx. As a result, I remain homeless...for now.

so I'm gonna have to ask for help again...

I've gotten through August better than usual; I'm glad to share that it's been over a month since I've needed to make a post like this. However, between my continued cut in hours (even as the service desk remains chronically understaffed) and a hike of about 20% in local room rates (I usually save about 15%/night by paying weekly), I'm in need of help. I'd like to try to raise $450 - &500 for the month of September, with my immediate need of $200 to manage next week's lodging. As ever, I know that I've been very blessed to receive the friendship and generosity of this community, and I send out my heartfelt gratitude for donations of any size, and to those who reblog this to help boost my plea. Thank you for any manner of help you can provide!

We need serious help. A friend was able to cover our electric bill and the remaining storage unit, but she can't cover our rent, and all our SSI/SSDI will go towards more loan payments next month. I now need to come up with an additional $1720 for my rent next month by the 5th and other assorted charges we need to pay. I can't be homeless again. Please help?

I need $217 for the electric bill, my mother still needs $474 to pay off a loan by the 29th as well, and I need $150 to cover a debt. Please help?

For those not aware, we currently do not have a working car, my mother was recently hospitalized for a week and still has lingering health issues, my daughter is about to start HRT and I got second-degree burns on my neck and chest over a week ago that needs to heal. We can't be homeless again. It would literally kill us.

Hey everyone, this is a different post than I'd normally make, but I've been dealing with urgent hardship, poverty, and food/housing instability, and it's escalated to the point where I am desperate for mutual aid support.

Ko-Fi here: https://ko-fi.com/jest_er

I am also able to take ca/shapp or ven/mo, please DM for those. Donors can ask for art with some kind of proof, I'm just unsure when I can get to those. Please understand that my situation is not stable atm.

It's hard to admit this stuff publicly, but while I've been able to scrape by for 6+ months on my own, my situation keeps worsening. I'm really sorry to ask for help, I've always been a private person who wanted to avoid asking online, but I've finally hit a point where I don't have many options. While I'm still in contact with family, I don't have monetary support from them & am hoping for a miracle to get through this.

It's hard to be so up front with what my situation has been like, but up until about a month ago I was struggling with enough money to afford food for at least one meal a day. I skipped multiple days every week to ensure that I didn't run out of food, and have regularly emptied my fridge/pantry to the limits before I allowed myself to spend meager amounts on enough to sustain me. Things are still shaky in that department for me, but manageable. However spending so much out of pocket on food has led to me struggling to afford basic necessities. Running out of things like trash bags, toothpaste, shampoo, etc. is a nightmare, and leads to expenses that I just can't deal with. I'm facing housing insecurity and am really just at a wall where I dont know what to fucking do. Anything helps and I really really mean it.

One of my best friends is in a medical emergency and needs help paying for a liver transplant/other medical expenses!!!

@lilmisspunchingbag / @ask-swagger-dagger-trolls Is very sick and cannot pay her medical bills. She has been suffering from cirrhosis of the liver for months and has been trying to acquire medical aid and disability aid to no avail. Last night her kidneys started failing and tonight she was put on dialysis. Asking people for money is her last resort. Here is her donation link She's a very very dear friend to me, so I'm doing all that I can do by managing and spreading this around. I understand if not a lot of you are able to donate anything considering all of the wars, natural disasters, and personal matters going on at the moment. But even as little as a dollar will help. And if you aren't able to give anything, you can help us by spreading her donation link around. I love you all. And I hope you have a good rest of your day.

This is my beautiful guy Spy Boy, also known as Commodore SpyBoy captain of the SS TinyMan. He is my best friend, my soulmate.

Yesterday, we had to rush him to the emergency vet, where they found he has pancreatitis and diabetes.

The emergency vet had us rush him to an emergency pet hospital, where he's spending the next few days.

They think he's going to be okay, but he'll need insulin and a special diet for the rest of his life.

The emergency vet visit was $1500, including all the tests. And the hospital gave us an estimate of between $4000 and $8000. My husband was laid off last week. I'm disabled and can't work. We desperately need assistance. I'm going to put together a gofundme as soon as I can stop crying. My Venmo is @GwyndynAlexander I'm a tiny blog with very few followers. Please, if you see this, reblog... I'm so worried about my little guy.

need help paying bills & affording groceries

i have five dollars to my name and need any help i can get in order to pay my monthly recurring car insurance bill as well as afford groceries for the week. in order to pay for everything i'll need about $200, but any amount helps.

sorry to do this again. i'm trying my best but the world is doing everything it can to beat me down into nothing.

[peculiar-persephone]

I don't know if anyone is actually gonna see this, but I've recently become homeless (I'm queer and disabled) and I'm going through a lot right now and I could really use some help. I know everyone is struggling right now, but if anyone is able to share this I would really appreciate it. There's more info about my whole situation in the link.

[sobeautifullyobsessed]

don't want to ask again, but must due to a financial setback...

I've delayed this all week because it physically pains me to do this again so soon, but the need to buy food and pay for gas, plus renewing my driver's license (it cost me $65 more than I budgeted for) have forced my hand. My work hours are still being cut, so far through the end of July. So, I have to try to raise $150 by this weekend to keep my room another week (we're currently in a 90+ degrees heatwave again). I'm exploring a couple of other options but in the meantime, anything I can raise towards that goal would be heaven sent. My deepest thanks go to anyone that can help in any way - and to everyone who continues to bear with me for the necessity of this plea.

Our rent and last electric bill owed to the landlords have been paid! Thank you so much for all the reblogs on the old post.

I currently need $2000 to cover bills that came out February 3rd on both my mothers and my accounts, as well as paying off a loan my mom took out so her monthly payments won't be garnished. Please help?

For those not aware, we currently do not have a working car, my mother was recently hospitalized for a week and still has lingering health issues, my daughter just started HRT and I got second-degree burns on my neck and chest a few weeks ago that needs to heal.

URGENT: Please Help with Bills

I'm posting this for my best friend and basically sister as she doesn't have a Tumblr and is in need of help.

"Hi. I'm Dominique, and I'm a solo mom of two, in the middle of a divorce where I was a stay-at-home mom for many years due to my health. I'm disabled, and since I have large gaps in my resume and was unable to complete more than an associate's degree, I didn't have a lot of options for work when my ex-husband left.

I work as a daycare teacher because it allows me the flexibility I need for my youngest daughter's therapies. We are alone with no support group, and I don't make enough money to support the bills without help and I am missing a whole paycheck from the holidays where I didn't work. I've been using money from my daily pay to cover basic necessities so now I'm up a creek with bills. I recently was able to get enough money for my late rent, but I still need help with the utilities! If you can help a young family, please do. I am looking for a better financial situation currently but haven't found anything."

I did not want to do this, but... we really need a miracle.

We really need help relocating to WA!

Details are under the cut. This post mentions abuse, briefly touches on alcoholism, and discusses extreme poverty and unsanitary conditions. The short version is we need enough money for a plane ticket to Washington State, and fast.

We need help with our $300 plane ticket, some for food until we sort out foodstamps, & at least $100 to keep our phone on until we can find work.

We've been locked out of our GoFundMe account, and to be truthful I don't see one being very effective, so- our cashapp is $LarkspurWoods & our paypal is @KaiThePotatoChip [long story, don't ask lol]

Anything helps!

Our Story

We are currently stuck off-grid in Missouri without a way out.

We moved out here to meet & stay with our dad, who is terminally ill, after being kicked out of our mom's in September. Turns out he's got next to nothing, we're all cramped in a single, disgusting RV [4 of us, not counting our aunt and uncle], and we've lost more than we've gained since being out here.

We were promised before our arrival that we would be able to earn an income out here, & have been unable to aside from just enough to pay our phone bill.

This inability to work has been due largely to all the vehicles our dad's family owns having broken down shortly after our arrival, as well as not having [& not being taught!] many useful skills for this lifestyle.

We don't have reliable internet or a way to seek remote work, either.

We haven't been able to do even basic things like take care of personal hygiene out here. We feel absolutely disgusting. We hate living this way.

We were supposed to get food stamps & our wisdom teeth out, but we can't...

Our father owes us money for the several weeks we have spent splitting wood for him, & has failed to deliver.

There is usually barely enough to eat, as well.

On top of all this, his sister and her husband are ignorant, bigoted, criminally violent alcoholics. They have near-daily instigated arguing and fighting since they arrived a day after we did.

Occasionally there are "good days." On one such day, November 25th, we ended up accidentally having an [attempted civil] discussion about intersex people and advanced biology in which we tried to inform them their worldview was outdated, got shut down, and then mentioned how we felt disrespected- they ended up heated and we walked away from them. they followed us, assaulted us, and their dog bit us 3 times on our ass, left arm, & face.

In addition, we have received multiple thinly veiled death threats when they're upset.

We called the sheriff, and they did nothing.

When our aunt and uncle are sober, they're not as volatile, although still incredibly emotionally abusive, prone to gaslighting, and manipulative.

We do not feel safe here, especially not as they have made it clear they have no intention of leaving anytime soon.

We have several friends and family members in the Oregon-Washington area, as well as a long-distance partner whom we've been dying to see for over a year. Our father promised to assist us with funding a trip to see them and, again, has failed to deliver.

We have been given explicit permission by several people, including our partner's family, that we have a place to stay out there, but we can't afford the plane ticket. after almost 2 months of working, we have only $50 to show for it.

We want desperately to see our partner for the holiday season and to escape our unsafe environment, and it feels like the entire world is against us right now.

We've spent weeks monitoring plane ticket prices, and the lowest is about ~$300 right now counting baggage fees.

We don't even have food money, let alone cash to get any gift for our s/o...

We've talked with a family member & they've offered to help us with getting a job as much as they can, but it's remote, and again we're off grid and don't always have gas to power the generator.

I am BEGGING anyone who has taken the time to read this to help us in some fashion.

We need help with our $300 plane ticket, some for food until we sort out foodstamps, & at least $100 to keep our phone on til we can work.

We can't promise much due to our shitty circumstances, but anything that we can do to assist or return the help we will do- we dabble with art, graphic design, music production, & video editing if people need help. We edit picrews and like making phone wallpapers as well. Just ask, and we'll try our best to do it.

This society has failed us severely. We want to make something more of ourself- we just really need some help.

Thank you to any and all for reading this, and we thank you even more if you decide to help.

begging for money

I am not a proud man.

I am a strong, wise, and compassionate man. I'm an emotionally intelligent, available, and vulnerable man.

I'm also a brown, disabled, neurodivergent, and transgender man.

I am sunny sometimes, thunderous others. At best I'm capable and magnanimous. At worse I'm angry, anxious, moody, and highly critical towards myself and others. Days I can't get out of bed. Days that are black and gray. Without hope or joy.

My worse flaws, in intensity, variety, and numbers... are less than average.

Any positives I have are generally thrown in my face and/or overlooked. Any negatives are overblown.

This is what it is like for people like me in this world.

Is it any wonder how I could lack the vice of pride?

But wrath? Envy? These I am familiar with.

After all: I want what anyone wants. Safety, health, freedom, and happiness. Healthy interpersonal relationships. A full, meaningful, and examined life.

...

I have these ideals to an extent now that I never had before. I do. And I am grateful.

Money is a different thing, though. As it is for 90% or so of people.

It's one of the many reasons most other people know what it's like to be vulnerable. To have their pride stripped from them.

For want of necessities.

To just live in this world is to have your dignity, humanity, and other virtues slowly picked away at.

..

I'll keep asking for help as long as I need it.

Because that's not a flaw.

I hope the people I know in my life can ask me for what I can give them, though it is not as much as I would like.

.

Thanks for reading.

Please share! We all know how expensive top-surgery is, but it's also the most important thing to trans-masc folks. It's the biggest dysphoria killer. If you can't donate, please share and spread the link. It makes a big difference! Thanks!

Get this man out of my head NOW!!!

Great animation practice at least-

Hopefullyyy tumblr isn't compressing it toooo badly.

vvv Goodie and yapping below!!! vvv

I really should be focusing on my assignments but ah yes, it twas a good idea to animate the goober stuck in my head.

Essentially, this drawing has been stuck in my head and I found the perfect songs that matches this mf so well. The voices.... They chain me down.

This took way longer than it should have v_v

Take this early snippet of the silly hitting himself as a consolation. It's either going to be a while before I post this man, or in general, again or it is going to be often if he won't LEAVE MY HOUSE (mind)
