I also am facing a few weeks without a paycheck in January—even if teaching exceeds expectations—and with bills and food, that’s near impossible. haven’t heard on any other jobs just in case. It’s a long shot, but I need $2,500 at least by January 8. Not expecting that, but any help is appreciated.
Hello:

Because my teaching jobs are near the end of the term and one is in doubt for spring, I’m preparing for some temporary hardship. I’m facing some this week: I need $200 now for bills and another $400 next week for utilities. Grateful for any help.

I have an asthma attack & needed to buy medicine urgently,
I used my freedom savings 🥹
If this progress to Pneumonia, I will be needing another $100 for medications & doctor's fee, like I do every year. It's hard being sick all the time 😭
Anything helps 🙏🏻

The attack on life-saving trans healthcare, including in "safe" states, continues.

Laws aren't stopping them. Public outrage and action are the only things that work.

Hi, All,

I still am hoping to make as much of this $200 as I can by tomorrow morning. I just got behind on stuff thanks to bank problems and
spotty pay. Persistent healt
problems haven’t helped. If you can contribute, my PayPal is below. Thanks so much.

I was told twice that I need to be alive+mentally okay to even hypothetically work. That I can’t entertain the job market that’s already hiring no one while so unwell. Validation is foreign…🥹 And I’ll be the first to admit that I’ve considered assisted dying. There’s no “out” and I am TIRED.
Britt has no options.
Mutual aid is all they can rely on, if at all.

Their CASEWORKER advised against working, is paying for their therapy.

Britt is traumatized, at risk of being on the street— get over your white feelings, START HELPING ppl who are not the "right amount" of disabled for you!!!!

I made this short-term goal, so
we actually can have Thanksgiving. thanks so much again to all who helped.

I still have another need by tomorrow and one for next week for bills and then one big ask for New Year’s.
and I’ll be pushing those soon.
But, to all who’ve helped in any way—Thanks.
Got $25 of my $75 goL for today! thanks to all who’ve helped. can someone help with the remaining $50?
I need about $75 today, and really before five, so I can get food
for the holiday. just kind of a putz up the last couple of days. If anyone can help, I’d be grateful. Thanks for reading.

Rebeka is a cancer patient who is being discharged today.

They need $48 ASAP for a ride home.

They also need pain meds and food. In total they'll need ~$120.

It's Thanksgiving y'all.

Can we get them home and make sure they have a nice meal?
