fediverse

<p>SECOND UPDATE (for clarification):</p><p>**YES! We are still fundraising.** My apologies for the rambling, confusing nature of this post.</p><p>UPDATE (already lol):</p><p>My partner insists that it might be insulting to the person who lent us money, to directly fundraise on their behalf because they told my partner to keep it when they sent it. I&#x27;m not sure I entirely agree with my partner about this, but I&#x27;m deferring to his judgement and closing the prior fundraiser.</p><p>So to the incredibly kind soul who sent us that money, I will do as you ask, but on the proviso that you *MUST* let me if you encounter the slightest problem because of this, so that we can rally the Fediverse to come to your aid. I do *not* want to see others suffering because of my foolishness.</p><p>Thank you to that person, and every other person who has helped us. We couldn&#x27;t make it without you. ❤️🙏❤️🙏❤️</p><p>============================================</p><p>Hello again folks,</p><p>Please forgive the audacity of me requesting even more help before we&#x27;ve even completely finished the four-figure auto repair fundraiser.</p><p>I screwed up.</p><p>I&#x27;ve gotten us in over our heads with a very serious bind.

I swear I&#x27;m trying my damnedest to not let everyone down.</p><p>There. The previous paragraph is the most I&#x27;m going to allow myself to self-deprecate in this post, despite me probably looking like a looney toons character that&#x27;s about to explode, by restraining my own criticism.</p><p>Whelp.. I need to wrap this up so I can go pick up the car; that at least gives us an option if things go south regarding rent.</p><p>If you&#x27;re willing AND able, please boost and if possible donate. If you can&#x27;t donate, *do NOT feel guilty* for being in the same boat as us. Your feelings about it are valid but rest assured you needn&#x27;t feel bad.</p><p>Venmo: <a href="https://venmo.com/thegizmotwins" rel="nofollow"><span class="invisible">https://</span>venmo.com/thegizmotwins</a><br>Cashapp: <a href="https://cash.app/$thegizmotwins" rel="nofollow"><span class="invisible">https://</span>cash.app/$thegizmotwins</a><br>PP: <a href="https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/gizmo1982" rel="nofollow" class="ellipsis" title="www.paypal.com/paypalme/gizmo1982"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">www.paypal.com/paypalme/gizmo1</span><span class="invisible">982</span></a><br>GFM: <a href="https://gofund.me/12171be3" rel="nofollow"><span class="invisible">https://</span>gofund.me/12171be3</a></p><p><a href="/tags/solidarity/" rel="tag">#Solidarity</a> <a href="/tags/bpd/" rel="tag">#BPD</a> <a href="/tags/ptsd/" rel="tag">#PTSD</a> <a href="/tags/poverty/" rel="tag">#Poverty</a> <a href="/tags/mentalillness/" rel="tag">#MentalIllness</a> <span class="h-card"><a href="https://ovo.st/club/mutualaid" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>mutualaid</span></a></span></p>
