As of Saturday, 4-11, I will be staying & sleeping in my car indefinitely; not the best situation with my health issues, but I'm out of options. My plan is to park at a strip mall that has a grocery store, a Dunkin's, and a McD's. I can probably get a hot tea at either place, and sit inside a few hours at a time. The toughest time will be 2-6am, when everything is closed. I'm on two powerful diuretics (to stave off fluid retention) because of the issues with my heart, and not having access to a bathroom that long is going to be problematic.
I got barely any response to my last help post, so I'm just paring it down with the hope it might help get this noticed.
I'm still on medical leave for my heart conditions; I'm at 45% heart efficiency (I don't think that's the exact technical term) & on six types of meds, several of which have side effects that keep me sidelined. My Cardiologist is trying to manage my conditions via meds & lifestyle adjustments, but he truthfully feels I will need a procedure sometime down the line. I finally got to see a Primary Care Physician last week who has forwarded paperwork to Walmart's leave approval company, and hopefully--finally--I'll get approved and can apply for State medical leave coverage. That has a 2-week window, and you can't apply again once you've been declined, so the timing is everything, and the Walmart end has to be thoroughly completed before I can turn to the State. Fingers crossed, it'll be May for a start date to collect 60% of my lost pay.
I'm praying this is the last time I'll need to plead for help. I know I've probably exhausted most of the good will extended to me here, I hate doing this, and I don't want to do it anymore. I'm setting my goal at $900, but I know that is nearly impossible. Still, hope guides me as it has from the start, and the worst that can happen is a no-go. Any help that anyone can manage would be as heaven sent.
$70 / $900

My partner ended up in a nightmare situation after leaving hotel he booked for 2 weeks at bc of a sexual assault from a long-term guest. Hotel refuses to refund and we have no money left at all. He is currently staying at safer hotel, but we can't extend his stay past September 6. (Edit: we moved him to a different hotel until we get housing/shelter support and need financial help extending his stay.)
His phone's screen broke, and he can't access calls/finances and other important resources. All this while he is still dealing with fresh trauma and serious chronic illnesses. He can't communicate verbally rn, deals with flashbacks and other consequences of severe trauma.
We are in contact with LGBT organization, but they are simple volunteers and don't have many funds themselves.
Donations will cover phone repairs, transportation to a safer place, hotel stay, food and other survival needs.
If anyone wants to help with extending his current hotel stay, please contact me via DM.

Hi all, usually I try to be relatively stealth or at the least don't talk about my gender online, but lately my dysphoria has been debilitating to the point where even on days where my chronic pain has allowed it I've been immensely struggling to even go outside. Despite that, where I'm currently at financially means it's gonna take me a longass time to get top surgery. As such, I'm plugging my ko-fi - please consider donating, sending in a doodle request, or commissioning me! (If you can't, I'd really appreciate a reblog for reach!)
Hi there, you may know me as Alex Amelia Pine from the Internet, but I'm also Alex Amelia Pine from the Real Life, and unfortunately, being in the Real Life requires money.
I'm currently unemployed and not having any luck finding work, and I don't have any other income to cover rent, utilities, groceries, etc. Obviously I'm not expecting someone to come along and pay my rent in full, but even a little cash can help me keep my fridge and pantry stocked.
If you're able and willing to help me out, you can donate on my Ko-Fi
https://ko-fi.com/kantobound Every bit counts! Please, anything you can spare, I greatly appreciate it! ♥
So, my doctor's conclusion after my test the other day is that I don't currently require surgery, as my chronic injury is currently (and slowly) healing with diet changes and topicals. However, that also means that I remain physically incapable of working until it completely heals. For that reason, I am going to be once again promoting my Ko-fi!

Every little bit helps and every penny is appreciated. ❤️ I'll be using your donations and commissions to help pay for health insurance for any and all future check-ups and health related appointments.
My friend lost her job (literally the week of her birthday) and needs some assistance to pay her rent this month. Anything you might be able to give is appreciated.
