Thank you!
Autumn urgently needs funds for shelter. Van is broke and not an option.
$65 would mean they're safe tonight
$550 would mean they're safe for a week and they could rest and recover. Anything helps.

20/550 Week
20/85 Day
20/1200 Car Repair

Whichever comes it's needed BEFORE 11am. The day, the week, someone to cover the car, ANYTHING would be a blessing rn. But it's needed in less than 6hrs so we can make shelter!

Autumn needs funds for shelter + to fix their van, which is a necessity. Plan fell through and they're back at square 1.
$85/night but it would be SO much cheaper + less stressful to pay for the week

Can we get 10 ppl with $50?

a dark wooden table against a white(?) wall with various household and medical supplies neatly arranged on top.

items include a box of disposable gloves, a black KN95 face mask resting on top, bottles of medication and supplements, two small cartons of very high calorie Boost nutritional drink, a COVID-19 antigen home test kit, a large white container of Soylent, and several other medicine bottles and ointments.

there are also packs of wipes, a zebra-patterned bear, a folded green mat, a reacher-grabber tool, a white plastic bag over a bedpan, and a tray containing numerous small packets.

the floor beneath the table is dark wood, and the room lighting is warm and yellow-toned.

Due to the van needing repaired tomorrow to move at all, we'll miss the free food. It also means if we can't make the room we have no van and are literally on the street. So please, help if able, soon as able?

Just learned that the person that mastered Jack on BW has withdrawn, because ppl shared it to much on tiktok.
I'm so upset. Please just learn fandom etiquette before you ruin things (AND possibly get ppl in trouble!!).
I wanted this one so bad, I was just waiting until I had the money for it. :(((

Food covered, need shelter before 11am. And with food covered tomorrow too, two days would allow us to make it to food tomorrow on time without worry. Either appreciated, needed, as temps drop and van is broke!

Thank you so much.
Autumn and Dad need funds for shelter and food. Paying last minute and be stressed about getting enough together is incredibly stressful and leads to flare ups.
$200 for 2 nights would help them loads!
That's 8 ppl with $25 each. Anything helps. Info below

SHAPIRO: OK, so you've spent your career creating television without Al, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had had that tool to solve those thorny problems...
SIMON: What?
SHAPIRO: ...Or saying...
SIMON: You imagine that?
SHAPIRO: ...Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over.
SIMON: I don't think Al can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level.
SHAPIRO: But if you're trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you're stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into an Al and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition this.
SIMON: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth.

No charged phone or wifi, spoiled foods, hot weather. Help us avoid shutoff. A Black trans disabled person who is grieving was forced to trade weeks of life to crowdfund over two thousand five hundred in bills and rent, the latter of which still ended up being late for the seventh month this year! In exchange, they’re grieving whilst malnourished and in destitute conditions without basic needs met. unfortunately, their power set to shutoff on October eigth if seven hundred thirty five is not paid. Reconnection is over nine hundred, hundreds of dollars that could go to their wellbeing instead! Please support them today. moneyyy dot me slash dollar sign memwho.

Den hab ich schon gebracht: Man braucht immer Zeit, Geld, Energie und/oder ein Unterstützungssystem.
Gebraucht kaufen -> Zeit, Energie, Geld
Beantragen -> Zeit, Energie oder wenn man das nicht hat ein Unterstützungssystem das ja auch iwo her kommen muss.
Aber agree to disagree. 👋
