RULES:

1. Mods do not vet individual mutual aid requests. Donate at your own risk and hold each other accountable. If you see something even remotely suspicious, do not hesitate to bring it to the attention of a moderator for review.
1. All mutual aid requests must go in this community.
1. Do not request donations for funding anything explicitly illegal.
1. Sending censored donation receipts to the moderator team is based.
1. Moderator Pinning Rules:
a. Moderators are strictly prohibited from promoting/endorsing/pinning individual mutual aid requests (especially those of their own) as this creates unfair post visibility and could therefore benefit more from that than the standard user. Moderators caught engaging in this behavior will be swiftly removed from the moderator board with extreme prejudice.

b. Moderators are allowed to pin and crosspost to !main donation requests for large scope issues such as natural disaster relief funds and bail funds (Example) along with other crowd or moderator compiled informational resources pertaining to donating or volunteering (Example) so long as the utmost due diligence is done prior to endorsement, especially in the case of directing people to donate to non-profit organizations.

c. Financial documents of non-profit organizations available to the public must be heavily scrutinized before moderator endorsement and links to those must also be included in the endorsement post to help the community make their own decision as to whether or not they should donate.

It's weird having to ask random strangers on the internet for help. I just started my 20's pretty recently and don't have any sort of support network irl. Idk ig I'm just really scared rn. the world will crush me up & spit me out and there's nothing I can do about it. It feels hopeless. I don't know what else to do rn while I apply to jobs. how can I be expected to "just go get a job" when that costs money? Merely existing costs money!? It's like the longer I'm in a bad spot, the further in the hole I roll down :(

sorry to briefly rant. I ended up losing my cashiering job at a big corporate store a week or so ago. It was for reasons outside of my own control. My funds dried up so quick. I don't know how I'm gonna pay my rent and not get evicted this month. everyone is acting like it's my fault bc I was supposed to have savings somehow? I made less money every check it felt like, what was I supposed to save?? Anyway. Maybe it's me, and I'm just a dipshit who can't be an adult like everyone else. Regardless. I haven't ate anything other than a bag of microwave popcorn I found in the cabinets of my apartment 3 days ago, and before that I wasn't exactly eating like a king. I feel like if I don't do something soon I'm gonna be in such a worse spot. i would really appreciate if anyone would be able to spot me a few dollars to eat today. it would relieve a world of stress off my shoulders to just have one big meal rn. my cashapp is $jwmgregory, same as my user here. thank you sm to anyone who even reads this. ik that this is very rambly but i'm not of the clearest head rn, sorry for any mistakes and ty for your time.

edit: 2 individuals donated enough for me to eat and i appreciate the help sm. i have my food situation squared away for now. i suppose i won’t take this post down bc i truly can use all the help i can get rn and still am facing a lot of trial and tribulation. but i plan to pay back the 2 people who cashapped me once im in a better spot, and do something else to pay forward the kindness whenever i can. bless & i hope that myself and everyone else can find a better way forwards
