Hey Fedi friends! It's the end of the month again which means it's time for a new mutual aid request. (This ended up being a little longer than I expected but bare with me! CashApp & PayPal links at the end! :floof_Heart:)
To try and keep this short and since many of the folks who have known me or seen me around the Fediverse know or have an idea of what the current situation is like.
I'm a minor with no source of income outside of coding which does not bring nearly enough in for me to even buy lunch most months so I have to resort to mutual aids or theft (Which got me in a lot of legal trouble, but fuck the corporates.). I need at least enough fundings to support me (Age 16, turning 17 this year) and my younger sibling (age 15).
I am a high school student living in a crappy situation with divorced parents. Where one house, the main house, I am refused basic needs such as, but not limited to, food, water, hygiene, clothing, proper medical care, etc. While the other house, my mothers, is a hoarder mess with little to no food, and when there is non expired food that has not been gotten into by animals, months, mold, maggots, etc, it is often times one of the following: Chocolate, cookies, Twinkies, hostess foods, etc. My mother hoards much more than just garbage but indeed, animals also. (With over 70 animals in the house and dogs who are not potty trained along with more animals, outside of the house).
Neither houses include proper medical care. I have a chronic skin disease that causes me severe pain and if it gets bad enough, it becomes an open wound that tunnels often times on my chest or on my legs. My parents do not supply the proper medications I need for these, and when asked or mentioned needing the medications, I get told "Get a job". (Which I am also not allowed to have.)
I'm constantly at risk of being kicked out of the house at any time without warning, a couple of months ago I was locked out of the house in regards to being trans and using my chosen name tho thankfully this was after a school play and I had a safe place at the time.
CPS does not listen. The cops do not listen. I cannot speak up about any of these issues even to trusted adults as this causes more issues at home and gets CPS involved.
Cost breakdowns for the month! Any extra fundings will be put towards getting my parrot a new urn (His last one unfortunately broke).
MEDICATIONS: $50 (4x meds for chronic disease (3 prescription + 1 one reg), anxiety/insomnia meds, pain killers)
CAT FOOD: $20
TOTAL: $500
NOT URGENT BUT STILL NEEDED: I will be doing commissions in regards to funding for this stuff, it might take a little bit but I'll do it o7
URN REPLACEMENT: $160 (I know this is expensive but it was the cheapest urn I could find that was made with a decent quality that would work better for traveling with him, as this bird means a lot to me, even in death. If you've known or seen me around within my past year and a half ish on Fedi you'd know how much my beloved Leo was worth to me<3)
(We attempted to fix the urn but it didn't work very well as it proceeded to keep breaking and at this point it's cheaper just to replace it)
LAPTOP FIX: $20
(Keyboard had an incident where one of the keys broke and need to be replaced, this was a rough estimate on the price it should cost from a friend. - The laptop doesn't have a warranty 😹 but I need this for personal use + school + studies)
Please help me run away from my home. I've been threatened by my mother once and I do not feel safe here as a trans girl.
The longer that I have to stay in the same apartment as my other family members, the worse my mental health gets with each passing day. I've contemplated suicide many times and almost went with it once.
You can read more into my situation in the "About" section for my Ko-fi and Patreon pages.
Trying to get $35 to order food today for a family of 5 with nothing to eat till tomorrow.
Simply put, we are broke with nothing to eat until tomorrow, January 29th, when we get paid. After this, we're free from our financial hole. We didn't get paid last month, so we had to spend pretty much all of our money on bills from last month and this month for January.
Anything helps. Thank you for reading. Hope you're doing well. 💞

Trying to get $30 to order food for a family of 5 with nothing to eat.
Simply put, we're struck money-wise till the 29th [two days] and have literally nothing left to eat. $30 would be enough for us all to get something to eat for tonight.
URGENT!!! PLEASE HELP A BLACK FAMILY OUT WITH THE RENT
I don't like doing this again, especially that it's about a month after the last one, but we're in a dire situation right now and we only have until tomorrow to pay it!!!
WE ONLY NEED $3,200!
PLEASE DONATE, BOOST AND SPREAD IT AROUND AS MUCH POSSIBLE! EVERY BIT HELPS AND ARE APPRECIATED!
Hey. My family of 5 hasn't eaten in almost two days and we're trying to get food money. #MutualAid#MutualAidRequest
Awaiting our pay for this month while not getting last months STILL has us in dire straits. Simply put, we need all the help we can get so my family can eat.
My 5-year-old nephew is here and we're trying to find a way to feed him as well. It's a bad situation.

Still waiting on our pay, and we didn't get paid last month. We're catching up on bills, but food is a complete no go with nothing in the house. Anything helps here.
So, my Dad is $500 in the hole.

@mutualaid if she can get even $250 she might be able to convince her landlord to give her an extension to pay the rest, please boost and donate if you can. I've already maxed out what I can donate to mutual aid needs this month. please help.
@mutualaid URGENT! The deadline for this is TODAY and my friend hasn't received any donations! Please boost and donate if you can, I don't want to see her homeless. I've donated as much as I can, please help.
Looking for recommendations: does anybody know of fellowships or scholarships for pursuing master's in social work or counseling to become a licensed therapist/counselor?
I am a bi lesbian trans woman living in California, and considering a career pivot into becoming a licensed therapist or counselor, but like...how the heck can I cover the cost of pursuing that? Search engines have be enshittified to the point it's hard to be confident that I'm not missing something obvious, so hoping maybe someone on the fediverse knows some options other than just students loans from FAFSA.
(Please boost to help me crowdsource some knowledge!)
@mutualaid still at £240 but it's been enough so far to satisfy the debt collectors, so thank you very much! still got a little way to go though, to pay off the rest of the debts and hopefully get my friend some comfortable living arrangements that aren't just "12 year old computer chair" and "mattress from a decade old futon." please keep boosting and sharing and donating if you can! as thanks, my friend has sent this video of the neighbourhood cat!
@mutualaid Hello again, a lot of my friends debts have been paid down but she could still use some help paying off a couple of fines incurred by not having enough money to avoid them. we're still trying to get some furniture that is less than a decade old, too. can you help out?
@mutualaid urgent addition: the heating in my friends flat is not working, and where they live is getting extremely cold. the place is also incredibly badly insulated, and they're sat shivering in the place even with a hoodie AND a blanket. i'm trying to raise 700 SEK (about £55) to send to them so they can buy some thermal clothes and a heated blanket. please help out? i don't get paid until Wednesday and the temps are dropping
@mutualaid We're still at £320 and whlie it's satisfied the debt collectors so far there are payment deadlines looming. Anyone able to help out further? Even boosting will help.
