@autistics @actuallyautistic Okay, I've been so encumbered these past months that this completely slipped my attention: Apparently next month's assistance check lands THE DAY OF due payment for my internet. The deposits don't go to the same account as my internet, so I have to manually add money to my account paying the internet via cash at an ATM.

My internet provider changed their policy from a couple of days of buffer before autopayment to the DAY OF for autopayment. I will overdraft in my current situation because I will not be able to pay my internet in time.

I need $160 by August 25th or I will have a severe overdraft of my account that is paying my internet.

Y'all deserve a new thread:

Latest social worker response to my psychologist was is "we have units available in catchment, but your client is stubborn and picky." In typical neurotypical sarcasm.

Roommate is 99% not coming back. I might have a loss on keyboards and RAM I bought them.

False promises were made for food security when the reality is my landlords having a baby WILL mean they forget. (Noise is also unavoidable)

Topping it all off, peer support is still depending on a reliable vehicle and that still hasn't had any solid promises.

Buffer money (for food and supplies) is desperately needed to maintain my "model tenant" status (by allowing 1000% me time) which was recently confirmed by my social worker.

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.

as always thank you. we appreciate everyone, including people who just boost it or point their well-to-do friends about it.

our cat Zoey thanks you too.

I was anticipating a solution to my friend's car problems, but because the seller of a vehicle was always on call to their job, they held off the sale for an entire month while the seller goes to work.

Given I've lost all means to cope while stuck with cabin fever, I was hoping progress would mute my habit of meltdowns. Now nothing is preventing it. I've already lost internet friends & stand to lose more. Last friend I lost was because my peer supports weren't there & my psychologist was away for an entire week.

Basically food money or money towards repaying debt/hobby projects is going to keep me sane. My roommate was arrested for mental health and I'm sure another meltdown will make my landlords 911 trigger happy.

Please boost, we need groceries :boost_request:

Hey fedi, the time has come.

Turns out 400€/month are not enough for two adults to live off for an entire month, but that's all the money I'm getting from my job for now. We need any donations we can get to pay for the rest of our bills as well as groceries to live, bare minimum around 100€. We already massively cut down on our living expenses, for example by baking our own bread.

I'll have a full-time job starting next month, but next month is gonna be even tighter than this one. After next month, we will be fine though... Or at least not in need of e-begging.

Thank you for any kind of assistance you're able to provide.

Here's a thread for @autistics to catch up on what I've been posting to @actuallyautistic

My GoFundMe was successful at repairing a lemon iPhone as my latest crisis aversion, but this GoFundMe has been needed over the past several months to battle landlords that have at complete random not been supplying food because they would rather Netflix and Chill.

Before that, I was asking for donations to survive a impending eviction that happened on June 20th, 2024, over the extreme accusation that I was an arsonist as painted by my social worker.

As of now, I have $150 to pay for video hosting bills coming up on June 13th, but I only have $50 remaining after that till the 25th. (I owe money for a screen protector too)

More details in later posts, for now, donation links:

The existing threads have gotten overcomplicated so I'm starting a new one.

The pizza restaurant that saved my life is firmly ending it's generosity and demanding that I pay $25 immediately for a owed meal. This is a request direct from the owner as they felt I was at risk of bleeding them money.

Also, my parents got into a car accident and their car has been wrecked. They're my backup plan in case I run out of meals and they can't help at the moment.

Combine this with my peer support circles all being busy this long weekend and I could use help to mitigate my cabin fever. I don't wish to be homestuck with my roommate that has hurled harassment at my close friend to the point they no longer wish to be in proximity of my house.

@actuallyautistic My roommate that wishes I was dead now is demanding an unknown amount of money for food payment or he's going to tell my social worker to proceed with evicting me. I need as much money as you can spare because he did not specify how much he wanted and he's blocked me on all messengers. This is a genuine emergency. #aspie #aspielife #emergencyaid #emergencyaidneeded #emergencyaidneededasap #emergencyaidneededrightnow #mutualaid #mutualaidrequest #mutualaidneeded

Starting a new thread.

I'm down to $1.43 after spending on getting the phone repaired from a previously broken state, and needing to cure my cabin fever by eating out.

As of now, there's still the risk the screen and rear camera module need replacement, but the battery replacement was 100% successful.

My most pressing needs include money for seeing my psychologist, money for purchasing 4 more glass containers, and money to counteract days where my landlords decide not to cook.

I will face the consequences of taking my time to save up for repairing the phone, but what I just listed that's more pressing is of high urgency. The way I will get better is to be supported by my psychologist, not have issues with a lack of a buffer for meals, and having the money to eat out as a backup plan.

@actuallyautistic one last bump for the week to attempt to get donations. With the loss of all coping mechanisms, I'm super vulnerable and susceptible to meltdowns that would lead to another eviction. I need time with my only remaining local friend (requires food money to eat out, as they will not come out of their shell unless a meal is promised) and/or time away from the house to eat out (to fight my overwhelming cabin fever) with meeting my private psychologist in the plans on top of that. #aspie #aspielife #mutualaid #mutualaidrequest #mutualaidneeded

@actuallyautistic my entire life is currently halted by a lack of money. I have no support from any of my support circles and my one psychologist is tired of providing free advice when she's supposed to be paid for sessions. Even if I get after fees $25 to visit my psychologist so she doesn't think I'm a vampire draining her of her services pro bono, that's at least better than nothing. #aspie #aspielife #mutualaid #mutualaidrequest #mutualaidneeded

@actuallyautistic Meals have just run out and all the glass containers have been used and require washing to be reused. My landlords have let the sink pile up and have decided "their time" makes sense to clean the dishes and make new meals.

It is so important that I get money to eat out to counteract this stupidity and neglect. Please donate now so I don't starve.

@actuallyautistic as a reminder of how your donations have helped:

You've helped me avoid clashes over food not being cooked because I have the option to eat out.

You've prevented meltdowns over phone malfunctions.

With eating out, you've helped me gain exercise so I'm not stuck with cabin fever at home.

I've been able to be social with my last remaining local friend because of your donations by eating out together.

I've been able to pay off debt while at the same time paying my rent for my storage locker and internet bill.

Please don't let this momentum die. The most I ask for immediate donation is $100 for the glass food containers.

@actuallyautistic to everyone concerned, the shop has to provide a warranty on the parts they acquired so this sensor dust issue should be a warranty repair. I'm going to press for it to be a no cost repair.

Meanwhile, please donate so I can get the rest of the food containers ASAP.

I've been left exceptionally alone in recent days and lack of money is making my mental health worse to the point of risk of self destruction.

@actuallyautistic ICYMI, I have spent all my money for the month to prevent myself starving at home, and it's still not enough. I only was able to purchase half the required glass containers using my remaining money, but there's another half to go and buffer money to cheer up my friend who missed going to a Toronto con, and to face my landlords who WILL have a lapse in making food again. I need $100 ASAP to survive till the 5th. This is first. The screen if you feel charitable just needs $300 (on top of $100) to arrive by the 5th, but that isn't urgent. There's the risk one app for a Lightning flash drive I own might stop working due to the phone wipe and it being pulled from the app store, but that's not going to change that the phone would be physically complete.
