(TW: Mention of suicide.)

So I can just go the fuck to sleep. Idk. Maybe buy weed or something. My fucking chest feels like it’s full of concrete and my face is almost numb.

This is probably Day 0 of another extreme depression like last year when I (almost) tried to yeet myself.

It’s also my birthday today, I guess.

Either that or like, ordering DoorDash or shopping for a new pair of pants will distract me.

CashApp and Venmo are both allthetimesivedied.

I’m not gonna try and kill myself with Benedryl. I don’t want to see the Hat Man before I leave.

I need 30$ to get a new id so I can work a legal job. If anyone can help out my PayPal is jamiehexjorg@protonmail.com and my Venmo is slimecore420 please bump and any bit helps. Thank you

I needed to make a fairly sudden move cross country in order to be closer to family. Between moving expenses and securing new housing- I am maxed out on my credit cards and my bank account is empty. Fortunately, I have secured work- however;it doesn’t start for another couple of weeks and I have no way to pay rent or bills for the month. I struggle with an anxiety disorder and I have been making myself physically sick trying to figure out how to get through this period of my life. I have never been good at asking for help but I don’t know what other options I have (I looked at rental assistance programs but there aren’t any in my area for my situation. I would be so grateful for any assistance. Once I am on my feet again- I will absolutely pay this forward 💜

OperationOliveBranch on tiktok has created a spreadsheet of GFMs from Palestinians who are trying to evacuate their families out of Gaza. They are asking folks to adopt a fundraiser to amplify on social media. Here is a way to directly help Palestinians, please support.

I recently got into a very stressful situation in which my mental health got so bad that I made impulsive decisions like quitting my job on the spot and even discarding some valuable belongings because I was in a very "My life is over, and I have no reason to carry on." mentality. I worked through that mental health crisis, I was able to repurchase some of the stuff I threw away, and I'm even getting situated with applying for different jobs. I may be able to go back to work at the place I originally worked, but just in case that isn't the ideal solution, I'm considering multiple options, and I even applied for a job at a place owned and operated by someone I know personally.

Although I'm sure I will be able to get situated back into a job pretty easily, I need assistance for the time being. I have to cover rent that's due on the 1st of March and other expenses in the meantime. I'm concerned with the fact that, by the time I get situated into a new job, the first check for the new job won't hit soon enough for me to put that to my rent for March. I will be getting my last pay from my previous job as well which I cannot properly estimate how much it will amount to, but according to rough math, I believe it will leave me needing ~$400 until I reach the capacity to cover my rent. That paycheck, unfortunately, will only consist of one week (I get paid biweekly) and have less hours on it.

If you would like to support, I have set up a PayPal for an easy way of taking donations.

I appreciate everyone involved here. Thank you.

I will post updates and let you all remain aware of how this all plays out.

Update #1: So far, we've already made an effort to raise $235. That is very significant. I appreciate everyone who pitched in, and I cannot state that enough. Not only does this help my situation get better, but it makes my mood feel lifted knowing that people can care to support me (or one another period) through such rough times. All is appreciated!

Update #2: To supply an update of the amount and my overall situation, the amount increased to $256. Once again, you are all appreciated in your generosity. I spoke with my manager at my job about returning, and she said that she doesn't mind taking me back, but she has to make sure her higher-ups are okay with it. She also noted that she felt something was terribly off because she says it's very out of character for me to do something like quit without notice. She said she will reach out to them and advocate for me.

In the mean time, I'm going in to discuss matters with the place owned and operated by the man I know personally because he will be there in person tomorrow (Saturday, 2/17), and I also have an interview for more places that will take place on the week of Monday, 2/19 to Sunday, 2/25. I'm thinking that I may work two jobs if need be, but if my manager can take me back, then I most likely will stick to that as a primary/sole source of income.

So a close friend of mine has been having back issues the past few months real bad. She thinks it’s something to do with a disc and she’s in a lot of pain so I’ve spent like a full two weeks trying to convince her to see someone for it. But she’s homeless and doesn’t have anything in terms of funds…. She has a brother who lives in another state who is willing to help her out, but it’s still not going to be enough to cover the cost of seeing someone who specializes in the spine…. So I told her I would try to help her with the remaining amount. She hasn’t actually decided yet on where she wants to go to have her back issues looked at, but all of them will require another (as in, in addition to what her brother can put up) $200+ Or so. So if anyone can help us out with this , it would be so much appreciated. She doesn’t have a cash app so I’ll just leave mine;it’s scr33nshot

If you can’t do cashapp I also have a PayPal, so just pm me about that…. Anything you can do will be appreciated immensely by us but obviously especially her. I just feel bad I can’t do more ..

all u guys

The last thread didn’t do very well. Probably because I wrote a goddamn essay.

I’m out of food stamps. And I’m unsure whether or not they'll be shut off after this month. I’m eating consistently for the first time in years and I don’t want to go back to that Hell.

Venmo is @allthetimesivedied and my phone is at 2% thanks bye

that is their linktree. With their social media and story!

cashapp: beautygoddess147 paypal: Beautygoddess47 Venmo: Bigdaddybri47

I sent $10, can anyone match? (writing posts are hard, please understand haha)

just went through something traumatizing today, but really wanted to spread the word and do something!

I care you all!

I had to have a minor procedure due to a complication with my chemotherapy port; I was released from the hospital earlier this morning. Unfortunately, this was a highly unexpected expense, and I won’t be paid until the 28th of this month. I am trying to raise some money, about $300, to cover the costs related to the rest of my scheduled medical appointments this month. My CashApp tag is $JackHF84; my Venmo tag is @JackHF84; I also use Zelle and will give my phone number in private messages. (I’m new to CashApp and Venmo, please forgive me if I err.) Thank you in advance.

Incidentally, if anyone knows of any jobs in the Chicago area in the service, restaurant, or retail industries, please let me know, as I will be seeking a second job, probably in the next few weeks. My scans and tests in the hospital were looking good, so I’ll probably be coming off chemo sooner rather than later. My current job is mostly remote and self-directed, so any shift or hours will probably workable for me.

EDIT: Some people have already donated. I don't know how to send messages on Venmo, but thank you and I'll respect your anonymity.

I'm sick as hell and need to function today I don't get money until Friday but desperately need Robitussin can someone help me out please? My PayPal is jamiehexjorg@protonmail.com and my Venmo is slimecore420

Her account is @indi_gonza on instagram

hello yall, I have been really tired and feel out of it I don't have much to say, I am sorry, I wish I can say something eloquent.

If you wish, you can check out the conversations we have had.

thank you all, see you all soon

(there's a bit more after that, she sent me images of her children who are sick and have red spots on their body :( I guess I just did not want to put it here out of respect)

I am a broke young person and do not know what else I can do, I give when I can and talk to my friends who also, are broke, I guess i am going to go and visit the local soup kitchen and talk to people irl, haha.

All my bills hit at once, and needless to say I'm pretty much broke until I get paid next Friday. Any help would be a lifesaver. DM me for venmo, PayPal, etc. Bless 🙌 🙏

I feel fucking bad when I post one of these and get like $100 when I just wanted to buy a pencil or some shit. I mean fuck yeah, thank you, but I feel like I’m sucking all the air out of the room for other hexbears who are much more needy, or who are a better cause to donate to.

I also kinda need to buy a pen, and a permanent marker. CashApp/Venmo: $/@allthetimesivedied. I prefer Venmo.

Btw here’s the hygiene shit I bought, so you know I didn’t just spend it all on OnlyFans & meth:

Not pictured: the two burritos I ate.

Thaaaanks.

I know I said I wasn’t going to post again barring some emergency but idk.

I got woken up by Rapid Response, the fuckers contracted by the city to sweep homeless people’s camps, and in my panic (I started screaming and freaking out again) I left a few things behind, the main thing I remember is my razors, and my hairbrush.

I’m trans/non-binary, and I struggle to look in the mirror and see something other than a gross homeless man, so yeah.

I also haven’t eaten yet, today.

I’m just gonna go ahead and post my things because idgaf anymore. CashApp/Venmo are both allthetimesivedied (so $allthetimesivedied and /@allthetimesivedied).

Thanks.

I need to come up with 200$ total for rent. I did a bunch of odd jobs but I just don't have enough or anywhere else to turn to. Please bump and any bit helps. My PayPal is jamiehexjorg@protonmail.com and my Venmo is slimecore420

Our car insurance doubled in price for no discernible reason this month, so we’re several hundred dollars behind compared to where we would normally be (read: absolutely broke for 2 weeks straight). Our cupboards are starting to get bare, especially with some essentials for special dietary needs. We’ve also got kids in the house and they’re getting frustrated with us rationing certain things. Please DM for PayPal, venmo, or cashapp if you can help.

I saw it coming after the day I woke up and started screaming bloody psych ward murder because it was pitch dark and I couldn’t find my phone. I’m being evicted.

Don’t be sad for me though because 1. I fucking hate being a home-bum, as we called it back in the day, not good for my mental health folks, not good; and 2. I literally can just move my shit one block down the street lololol.

But there’s just one problem, and it’s the reason I am here, yet again, and I promise this is the last one for a while barring some emergency, and I mean a real emergency.

I need a backpack.

I was going to order one the other day when someone sent me money, but then I had to buy a headlamp, and order DoorDash (worth it though).

Anyways.

I am also out of food stamps; I made it stretch, but I still have 7 days until my card reloads. And I promise I’ll cool it on the DoorDash.

Aaaaand I’ve been wearing the same pair of pants for uhhh I think two months? With no underwear.

DM me for my Venmo/CashApp.

God I feel like a piece of shit.

Love you fuckers.

Thanks.

Please help Ren out. Their rent is due on the lst. Any amount is appreciated. Sharing is appreciated to. Please help us meet our goal. Venmo @cosmic-spacedust End ID. ]

Hello you all 🩷

This is posted on behalf of my friend Ren with permission :), they formerly tried to drag out asking for as long as possible since they thought they would be taking away from others and they know that their situation “isn’t as bad as it could be” and they wanted to exhaust their resources first, which, see as they put out an ask, it is not going so smoothly. Ever since they have contacted me about the rent situation, I have been checking on them daily, anything with be incredibly helpful. Thank you all🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼

On another note, I will be posting about unhoused friends in later posts, I am starting to get in selling my arts as a way to try to support more and more consistently to my pals, however I am largely in a lone effort— though we learn and making connections and do over time >:) I will also be open commissions with a friend that would need some support soon! For everything that people send for whatever amount I am very perfectly happy to doodle you something >:))

:)) some doodles from today!

I am kinda intimidated to post here but alas. What is improvement without a first step?

Have a lovely day and see you soon!

To everyone who sent me money: thanks.

This has actually lifted my depression. Temporarily of course, but it’s been a while since I’ve actually wanted to clean my “box” as my friend calls it (this shack I keep almost self-immolating in); since I’ve actually wanted to write something, or whatever. I ACTUALLY STARTED PUTTING THINGS BACK IN MY POCKETS AFTER I USE THEM.

I know I sound like a vapid bitch but having money makes me happy. Having an actual incense holder instead of having to use an empty soda can or whatever makes me happy. Having a lighter that works instead of having to spark a fucked off lighter with another fucked off lighter, so I can maybe spark the torch lighter and get that goin’ for a couple seconds, makes me happy.

So yeah. Thanks.

It fucking sucks being homeless without gloves. I make it worse on myself by . I got a sick pair the other day and then, of course, I left one of them in this person’s truck, can’t get it back, and I’m not sure where the remaining glove is anyways.

(I also left my bong at this person’s apartment.)

And while I was staying at this person’s apartment, someone ransacked my shack thingie and took my flashlight, and another shitty light. I have literally started screaming and losing my shit fumbling around in the dark looking for things the last few days.

Also candles are aesthetic and make me slightly happier than baseline.

DM me for my Venmo/CashApp. Yes I’ve had those this whole time, I just don’t want you to know who I am.

Fuck me I hate this. But I’m struggling to find ways to make enough money to survive I’d really like to get a motel room for the night as my health currently isn’t great and so being in the cold isn’t helpful But that’s mostly just me being wishful. I’d appreciate any thing whatsoever, you guys are always so helpful even if it’s “just” some words to get me through a bad day. I love you all ..

Cash app is screenshottt (3 t’s)

I’m really hoping this is the last time I’ll ever be posting here

Earlier this month we were able to purchase a community member a trailer home, and are now trying to fundraise money to connect this trailer to the electric grid. You can direct money to $ZitkatosTinCan on CA or @zitkato on ven, or bandsofturtleisland@gmail.com on Paypal. We got a ton going on already this year, and I think we more then proven our ability to do great things with your support, so please support this endeavor to provide basic amenities most people enjoy. The reason we do not have access to this electricity easy or cheaply is due to the design of the Indian Reorganization Act and Allotment Acts (Dawes Acts), and New Deal public works projects like Pick-Sloan Plan which though producing a lot of electricity does not service the reservations it helped undermine the traditional social organizing in river valleys that were flooded. A land grab not for profit, but for public land for public good, to quote the national parks program.

Beyond this goal which we have 45/1000 of we are seeking an additional $800 for either more wood or more nights in the hotel depending on time it takes to get repairs done. We are also trying to get a shipping container for 2500, we have 1121, that will be filled in Toronto by several organization (EcoJust Food Network, Beads Against Fascism, Fellow Travelers, etc) https://www.gofundme.com/f/deliver-wood-coats-supplies-to-pine-ridge?utm_campaign=unknown&utm_content=undefined&utm_medium=referral&utm_source=linktr.ee with a variety of aid to be distributed and then the container will be utilized to store building materials. It will also be used by the permaculture experts who will arrive in March, they will be staying in a Tipi and tents until we can build an A-Frame cabin so the container will also be their main storage. This will be shipped with the help of the org Direct Aid, who also ship more furniture and appliances then what we do in our container, only we dont get to keep their trucks but they handle the brokers and truckers which was a larger barrier to our goals.

There is a lot more going on this year so I recommend following our other social medias while I get better at updating here and participating in the communities. https://linktr.ee/chunkalutanetwork has all of our links, as well as a patreon and liberapay you can join to provide stipends for our organizers across the world (this isnt an exaggeration and we have member in Bulgaria, Germany, Japan, Australia and more!) Our goal is 2k/month this year we are already more than half way there and look how much we accomplished before getting that first 1k. I know there are software engineers and such on here with a lot of money that they probably give to podcasts, well we have a podcast and we do so much more than the average Joe. Help us show a better way, be a part of something amazing

You're gonna regret not supporting sooner!
