Blade Runner is a pretty obvious answer to this question.

You know, y’all should build me a playlist, one song/artist at a time. Not a whole album, ‘cause that’s just weird.

miu. in AZ. safety fund ($175/1000)

@porneia.neocities.org

really need the emergency fund filled because it also allows me to afford a deposit if anyone is able to help me afford a motel on a given day.

0/100 emergency fund
0/100 motel
0/20 food

still need about $220 a day in an ideal world, until the emergency fund is filled ($153/1000)

Ghostly 2: Electric Boogaloo @ghostlyelecbogaloo.bsky.social · 4d

~$1K rent due on Sunday
~$200+ for sustainable groceries that will last a week
~$350 to clean hazardous, unkempt home that is impacting households health
~$600+ utilities at risk of shut off
~$75/day for meals for 2

Food and groceries are needed, as well as rent due on sunday.

ca/ven: memwho | pp: xomemereytwod

HELP THEM KEEP
THEIR HOME!

$1,000 RENT DUE 2/1/26

their rent is due Feb 1st and if they cannot pay it on time they will be at greater risk of eviction.

if they are evicted - they won't have a house to clean, to put it very simply. they will not have a place to go because they do not have a car. two black, disabled, immunocompromised
people with ME/CFS & LC & their two cats will be
homeless and unsheltered if we cannot raise the fvnds to pay this bill.

ca/ven: memwho | pp: xomemereytwod

OTHER LIFE
SUSTAINING SUPPLIES

some things that i did not mention but they urgently need/suffer from are:
• chronic food insecurity
• need cleaning/disinfectant supplies
• need cutlery, bowls, cups, paper towels
• need cat supplies
• access to a doctor to re-prescribe the blood pressure
medication they are on
• access to gynecological care
• need winter clothes - their
house is not properly insulated and it is very cold inside. they also have to step outside into the cold to do their laundry
• a used car would allow them more autonomy and safety + more reliable access to food and health care

DISABLED PEOPLE DESERVE CLEAN HOMES TOO!

PLEASE
HELP THEM AFFORD CLEANERS!

TWO BLACK, AUDHD, SEVERELY DISABLED, IMMUNOCOMPROMISED PEOPLE MUST HAVE THEIR HOME PROFESSIONALLY CLEANED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. THERE IS A LOT OF WORK THAT NEEDS TO BE DONE THAT TWO SEVERELY DISABLED PEOPLE CANNOT DO ALONE! PLEASE HELP!
