hey #LosAngeles #SanFernandoValley #SFV #VanNuys, who is able-bodied and can come over and help me move this week? I'm just moving across the yard, it should be easy enough but my spouse and I are just too disabled. we at least offer our endless gratitude. #Crowdfund #Crowdfunding #Deaf #DeafCrowdfund #DirectGiving #Disabled #DisabledCrowdfund #FinancialAid #HelpFolksLive #HelpFolksLive2025 #July #Mazeldon #Moving #MovingFund #MutualAid #MutualAidNeeded #MutualAidRequest #Tzedakah

seriously three strong people in their 20s should be able to do most of the move necessary in one day. I'm basically begging at this point.

I've made a lot of progress in physical therapy the past two years but five minutes of standing in front of my desk trying to box it up? my heart rate's nearing 140 and my back is screaming at me.

if I go at the rate I am physically capable of, it will never get done.

I'd rather get help from strangers on here than from strangers on Craigslist or other service ads sites. historically bad luck at the latter. please share and tag anyone who might be able to help.

if not please help me with money so I can hire movers to come and do what we cannot. even moving just across a yard is expensive and I haven't yet done so because I want things to be ready but at some point it will be what it is.

this is going to pay most of my bills for the July cycle but I need to start pushing really hard to get #MutualAid for August! and expenses for moving which we didn't know was going to happen and we need to buy things like lights and maybe a kitchen island. as an aside I have no clue how it is now halfway through 2025.

my spouse @inoru_no_hoshi and I are both disabled Jewish and Jewish-ish queers trying to survive in suburban Los Angeles, with our cat Zoey, and we need help with basically everything while I'm in school and they're doing job readiness (and not ready yet).

we're in the beginning of moving that's what we really needed but that's a hasty process with a lot of unforeseen expenses that we already don't have money for, so anything and everything helps us! this move is the first step towards getting at least partially out of an abusive situation.

currently we're at 0/1000 that we need, this gets us solved for this month and August and means we can buy needed items for moving like plastic bins to put things into.

URGENT MUTUAL AID NEEDED!

quick intro: @inoru_no_hoshi and I are two Deaf, disabled, Jewish/Jewish-ish, neurodivergent/autistic/ADHD and unemployed queers in southern California.

it's super expensive living here and we receive no social welfare whatsoever.

spouse does a job training program, I do community college, and none of those make money out of thin air.

I'm currently unemployable, no driver's license, too much disability, etc.

we get $125/month from the sale of my car, and everything else comes from the kindness of others!

WE NEED MONEY FOR:

- cat food and cat litter. our cat Zoey thanks you. but seriously, this is how we're able to buy her wet food and something better than the house store brand kibble that even most of the outdoor cats won't touch.

- necessary professional clothing. uncharted territory etc, and it's definitely taken a tone up from what we'd previously been getting away with.

- food at the end of the month when our food stamps has run out.

- bills! the bills don't stop no matter what I do and we currently have anywhere from $150 to $500 in bills per month.

everything helps, from the smallest of donations to shares to large donations and anything in between.

THANK YOU!

MUTUAL AID NEEDED! read the impossible and then get down to the bottom for the immediate needs.

anyone feel like buying me a house for my #Birthday? joking not joking #MutualAid #MutualAidRequest. this would solve our housing insecurity and put us a lot closer to my in-laws, it's adorable, and it even comes with already having a craft shed. unfortunately I have no idea how we'd manage to have $3k/month let alone the $17k that would be needed for a 3.5% down payment without just having a very generous benefactor buy it for us.

five or so years back I was looking unseriously at Washington and a little more seriously at some other places and Washington wasn't nearly as expensive as it is now. real estate prices up there have exploded. zillow.com/homedetails/610-Mil

and even otherwise, please consider supporting us. we have a general need for about $500/month and I haven't been aggressively fundraising recently, so we're nowhere near meeting that goal.

this goes to cover bills and supplies that food stamps don't cover, such as cat food, cat litter, band-aids, school supplies, and the occasional nice thing for each other because poverty shouldn't have to equal deprivation and poor people deserve things like nice chocolate sometimes.

as of 05/14/2025 UPDATING this again!

I got my top surgery on 01/31/2025 y'all rock! and with y'all's help we were able to cover the additional food needs easily and build up a little bit of excess that carried us through February. but it's May now and we're falling behind again. we've also paid off spouse's wheelchair purchase entirely. now it's just regular old credit card debt.

our #MutualAid post now that things have settled down. #MutualAidRequest #TransCrowdfund #HelpFolksLive #HelpFolksLive2025 #MastodonForHarris #Mastodon4Harris #Tzedakah #DirectGiving #DisabledCrowdfund #DisabilityCrowdfund #Crowdfund #Crowdfunding

quick intro: @inoru_no_hoshi and I are two Deaf, disabled, Jewish/Jewish-ish, neurodivergent/autistic/ADHD and unemployed queers in southern California.

aside from food stamps and Medi-Cal we receive absolutely no social welfare benefits while I await any progress in my SSDI application. financial aid helps, but as I told one of my case workers, we put it towards medical needs and then bills and then there's virtually none left and I'm still in the same boat that I'm in to begin with. everything else that we have comes from the generosity of other people like you.

spouse is doing a job training program through department of rehab, we'll see when that turns into a job, and they get money to cover the transportation. I've left university where I was studying Religious Studies and gone back to the local community college studying Addiction Medicine, and while I'm also going through the department of rehabilitation they don't fund any of my shit because I get financial aid I'm sufficiently funded according to them.

anything we have comes from the generosity of others. I'm currently pretty unemployable; all of my previous employment has been in the transportation industry, which I am out of as I am also, for health reasons, out of a commercial driver's license since January 2023 after the very rapid loss of my trucking job for health reasons.

radical transparency because I think everyone deserves to know where the money they give to us is going:

- credit card with about 3500 in charges, because we've been trying to survive since fuck knows when, this was initially a balance transfer card and I'd paid the most of it down and then we ended up needing money we didn't have to pay for things we needed but didn't have. I also made several purchases in anticipation of financial aid that wasn't what we had hoped it would be at community college, so the ghost of those hangs around. I have a couple of other small credit cards too. current monthly credit card payments total about $150. I've paid off the one that was totaling over $200/month, so that frees that money back to the rest of the credit cards.

- cat food and cat litter. our cat Zoey thanks you. but seriously, this is how we're able to buy her wet food and something better than the house store brand kibble that even most of the outdoor cats won't touch.

- occasional boba or other treat food/drinks, because having nice things now and then helps keep us feeling human.

- necessary professional clothing. uncharted territory etc, and it's definitely taken a tone up from what we'd previously been getting away with of living in comfortable athletic clothing and pajamas and stuff.

- food at the end of the month when our food stamps has run out.

everything helps, from the smallest of donations to shares to large donations and anything in between. we really, really need to break out of the bubble we're in and reach some new audiences who might be able to support us, because our close friends do a lot and it's unfair for them for us to end up relying on them so much (although we're very grateful).

hi, reiterating our constant ask. which I hate doing but things haven't got personally better for us right now.

I'm the main breadwinner for my spouse and I and there has been no bread to win. I haven't had a single gig this month or last, and we have bills racking up and coming due.

all we want for #Chanukah or #Christmas or insert winter holiday of your choice is financial stability, and y'all's generosity is the only way we're going to get there.

please help if you can. one, two, five dollars helps just as much as bigger donations if not more.
