[Please boost for reach!]

We are broke and need to figure out our food situation.

We have two kids to feed, no income until the insurance can sort out my short-term disability claim, and a total of $9 to our name. The fridge is empty except for last night's leftovers, which the girls will demolish when they get home from school.

Can anyone help us out?

We would really appreciate any help you can give. Every dollar and every boost can make a big difference. Thank you all in advance!

hi, my good friend Shanda and their queer household are trying to emigrate out of a shithole that's modern Georgia and look for a new life in Spain

ko-fi: https://ko-fi.com/shanda

https://ko-fi.com/post/Our-current-situation-wri...

quote:
"Georgia was safe for us, until the recent political events that started at the beginning of this year. Georgia is slowly being overtaken by Russia politically, and the recently added laws here are nothing but absolutely terrifying. The current ruling party Georgian Dream adopted the anti-LGBT rhetoric and made transition illegal, threatens violence against protesters, and constantly blames Ukraine for being attacked. As a trans man, my boyfriend lost access to medical help. We plan to move out of the country around mid autumn, if everything goes well.

We’re planning to move to Spain and all of us will seek protection there. I cannot return back home, my city is being bombed endlessly every single day, some of my friends and my brother are already dead. Both my boyfriend and sister refuse to return to Russia as they don't want to support the war; whatever taxes they pay simply by being there, go straight to financing the destruction of my country and murder of its people. Not to mention that anti-LGBT laws make it dangerous to stay there as a trans man (my boyfriend) and an open lesbian (my sister).

What we currently need to move is mostly a financial matter. We will not be able to rent out a flat in Spain unless we pay for ~6 months of living there upfront -- we do not possess this amount of money even remotely, as the rent is around 1000 euro a month, not counting the utilities. The tickets, visas for my boyfriend and sister as well as any other smaller expenses, we certainly can cover. But the first payment for the flat is something we are struggling to gather in such a short amount of time."

We are having trouble getting enough food. We've been digging into the emergency stocks to make it work. The bag of rice is gone, half our beans are gone, the ramens are nearly depleted. We could really use some help getting through this difficult time. It has very much been day to day, asking for money for food and sometimes getting enough for 2 days but often barely getting enough for 1. We have 4 mouths to feed: my wife, me, and our two pre-teen daughters, one of them having a growth spurt and eating more.

We would really appreciate any help you can offer us! If you only have a dollar or two, that can still make a big difference, like whether we get to have a veggie with our meal. If you are broke, too, a boost would still be really helpful.

The community has kept us going this far. Thank you all for helping us out while we work through this personal crisis!

Still mentally unfit, but I'll try...

Used as a money printing scheme, I was evicted from my previous homeshare where I had a basement suite into this one inside a 2.5m x 2.5m bedroom, where my Govt money was used to fund the landlords to have a baby. The baby is now born & it means insane amounts of me time that I can't interrupt. This also means no food is prepared when nursing is more important.

My friend tried to get a Toyota Corolla to help but he needs a $250 alternator. Unfortunately he's also being loan sharked by his peers at the moment.

My roommate was evicted over not being correctly monitored for his medication changes, for which my landlords don't know what mental health means & kept calling 911.

Please give. Anything helps.

I've been raising funds to provide food kits & cover healthcare costs for Gypsy kids living in outskirts of Puducherry. Gypsy community mostly collect garbage including food & non-food items. They eat the food & try to reuse or repair the non-food items to use or sell it later on. They choose not to wear clothes as it's their way of living. If you've anything extra to spare, do consider contributing 🙏🏼🪷

Okay. Desperate times call for desperate measures.

I realize the staggering audacity of me asking this considering I was literally just saying within the past day or two that I wouldn't want to place the onus on anyone to be a #guarantor or co-signer for us on an apartment and potentially leave them liable for my debts in case I was disabled/fired/died/etc.

I think I also said it because I don't really think anyone who is *able* to co-sign safely would be *willing* to for us.

After all, I have zero proof of ability to pay -- I have a CSV file with a list of #venmo transactions to the hotel we were at for nine months, which total substantially more than wages I earned for that same period because most of that was covered by #MutualAid from the pockets of fellow Fediverse users.

Then there's the shame of it all -- our own families refuse to co-sign for us on anything at all. Understandably so. We both have a horrible track record.

Not to mention countless others are in much more dire circumstances than us and can manage their lives without constant panhandling to exist.

How can I expect a complete stranger to blindly co-sign someone who has very clearly indicated they're unreliable for paying bills? I could be a scammer. I could be a Nigerian prince. I could even be AI. I could be the ghost of Margaret Thatcher, and you'd have simply no idea.

If I had money, would I co-sign on an apartment for a perfect stranger with whom I'd interacted solely online? Probably not.

Whatever.

Clownish antics aside, ultimately I'm just tired. So very, very tired.

I'm tired of my #MentalIllness interfering with everything. I'm tired of not being able to care for my family.

I'm tired of seeing my partner tremble with fear of whether we'll be living out of our car just in time for the Gestapo to start rounding up the #homeless.

I'm tired of hotels and tyrant hotel managers. I'm tired of not knowing whether we have a place to live from day to day.

I'm tired of not having any goddamned hot water.

I know there is so much ugliness in this world and I'm being incredibly myopic about my own petty concerns, but in all fairness I'm *always* incredibly myopic with my own concerns. (It's not something I'm proud of, it just.. is)

So.. I'm while I'm immensely ashamed to be asking this -- I think our families would be mortified if they knew I was even considering this, and again understandably so..

Desperate times call for desperate measures and I'm running out of options.

Here we go...

**If anyone is of the ability, willingness and means to potentially co-sign or act as guarantor on an apartment for my partner, our border collie, and me, please DM at your earliest convenience.**

Thank you everyone.

Pls boost!

I have been without anything accessible to ride for transportation since early this year. I am disabled & cannot walk far. Cycling hurts less & helps me go much farther, plus it gives me transportation independence!

You can help by buying my music TODAY #BandcampFriday, when Bandcamp waives its usual % on every sale I make.

It's my bday this month & being able to ride again would be 🥳

This is not a request -- it's a huge THANK YOU!!!

We are holding on for just a little bit longer, till we can deposit that insurance check on Monday and support ourselves again at long last!

I just wanted to tell everybody thank you. We made it through the hard part, and it was 100% because the amazing folks here have had our back through the whole miserable affair. You kept my kids fed. You kept the lights and water on. You kept our car from being repossessed. And you fed me hope along the way when I was desperately in need of it. You are amazing people, and you all deserve to hear that. Thank you. Thank you all so, so much!

If you boosted any of my pleas for help, please boost this too. I want to get it to the eyes of everyone who helped us along the way. :)

Request for support: Looking for a home in Rotterdam! 🛏️

I will be studying here (at @xpub) for the next two years, but I found nothing after five months of searches.

I am privileged enough to have many friends and couches where to crush, but I am extremely tired and frustrated because I don’t have any stable nor long-term housing. 😩

(If necessary, I am considering also Delft and Den Haag)

Here’s my introduction. Could you help me spread the word? 🌻

Friends, I find myself in the uncomfortable position of needing to ask for financial help. #MutualAid #LGBT

I've worked for a DEI organzation for 10 yrs. Because of the political climate in the US, all our income has dried up. None of our responses to RFPs have been awarded, no new RFPs in months. I've been without income for 3 months.

Rent is due today; I now owe 3 mo of rent to the tune of $3060 USD. Eviction proceedings are imminent.

Privacy is a human right, but getting more people to care about it is frankly (and literally!) a full-time job.

2025 has seen some of the worst attacks on privacy to date, and it has also represented the greatest commitment to our work our team has ever made.

Going into 2026 and beyond, we really need the support from all of our followers to keep our staff fed & housed and to keep our momentum going.

Your membership will directly support @Em0nM4stodon's writing work, @jw's top-quality video content, and @kevpham's work keeping our daily tasks on point. It also helps us find the best guest contributors, and review paid products completely independently.

If we've put out anything you've found helpful this year, this will determine the future of that work. Please read my message on our forum for more info:

#Donate #Privacy #Community #PrivacyGuides #MutualAid #DirectAction #Activism #Solidarity #Capitalism #CrowdFund #Donations

2025 has been a crazy year for Privacy Guides.

In just 9 months we’ve published 15 videos, 21 articles, and we’ve pushed releases to the privacyguides.org website 13 times, with each release typically containing 10–25+ PR submissions from our team and volunteers. Since only July we’ve hosted 10 livestreams of our revived podcast, and there are plenty more on the way.

Since December, 3700+ more people have followed us on Mastodon, and about the same number have subscribed to our new YouTube channel. There are 200 per week more active users on our forum, and pageviews across all our sites have well more than doubled.

All of this is to say that people care about privacy a lot, and I believe we set the example in this space. While other “cybersecurity influencers” promote one-size-fits-all advice, we focus on practical and nuanced recommendations that account for the complexity of your personal situation.

To be real with all of you, the reason all of this is possible is because we hired 3 people to work on a regular basis at the beginning of this year.

Our volunteer team, moderators, and this community have all been doing exceptional work since 2021 which has established the foundation for all of this.

However, the reality is that to get this fantastic content out there and in front of people, there has to be a team doing work day in and day out to stay on top of the news feeds and create content that sticks with people and informs newcomers about why this all matters.

ALT

Our greatest strength is that we have no sponsors or affiliates. We have sent thousands of new subscribers to subscriptions for tools like Proton Mail/VPN, MySudo, Ente, and so many other privacy tools, and we do it purely because we believe in these tools and want them to succeed.

Frankly, many of the companies we recommend regularly send hundreds or thousands in affiliate dollars to other channels that give them far less traffic, while rarely if ever voluntarily making a donation to support our work.

Our choice to only receive income from the people who directly support our work makes us virtually the only review team in this space which has no reliance on the companies we recommend.

We have a handful of regular supporters who we are very grateful for, and we have received a very small number of very generous one-time donations which have made all of our work over the past year possible.

However, one-time donations dry up, and if we want to maintain our great momentum in 2026 and onward, we simply need people to make this work sustainable and give our team the safety of monthly recurring revenue.

ALT

My personal goal is for our membership program to give our members far more value than you will get from any other ~$10/month Patreon or subscription service from other YouTubers, podcasters, and writers in the personal privacy space.

I want anyone pushing privacy forward to be hugely successful, but to tell you the truth, I personally believe we are creating the best content in this space right now, and I hope that you trust Privacy Guides to publish the best version of this information as well.

Going forward, some of the content that we pay to produce will probably have to be restricted to people who are willing to pay for that content in return. Our members will also receive:

Early access to new videos on our channel
Priority Q&A responses on This Week in Privacy
Recognition on our forum and website
Priority response to comments on our articles/videos

We are also constantly considering new ideas in the team and from our members. Part of my commitment to make sure you can get the highest quality version from the Privacy Guides team of anything you can find from anyone else is to work with you all to decide what direction we should go in here.

Some other things we are considering include members-only forums and group chats, more detailed news reports about privacy tools and companies, private chats with team members, or free merch for our supporters. If any of this interests you, or if there’s something else you might want, please let us know.

Whelp.. it's a *really* good thing I didn't spend that nifty "wage compression bonus" right away.. #MutualAidRequest ($0/$350)

I apologize for doing this *yet again*.

Last night was the third shift in a row that I had zero funds available for a daily pay advance because of the stupid bonus I got earlier in the week requiring them to equalize my "wage income" so that heaven forbid they don't accidentally overpay me.

This means we've drained everything from the bonus *and* most of the cash from the money order we obtained a couple of weeks ago after fundraising in our failed attempt to qualify for an apartment.

I also forgot that our auto insurance policy is due for renewal in a couple of days and it's important to try and keep that going since my current commute is a little fraught with peril given the typical traffic for this area.

But it's also a pretty big pill to swallow; we have to pay the remainder of our current policy period *and* the first payment of the new one, which total nearly $350.

So.. to recap: we're once again out of money; we're still in a motel; and I've got an insurance payment that's nearly the cost of a week's stay in said motel. The money originally intended to help us get into an apartment is already gone to make up for the lack of available pay advances.

Which regrettably means I must once again turn to the #MutualAid community, hat in hand, hoping to raise the funds to at least cover our car insurance (so glad it's legal for them to charge me more based on my credit history 🙄).

I am so goddamned tired of trying to survive on $16/hr.

I am so fucking tired of working my ass off for $16/hr.

I am so tired of #poverty exacerbating my #MentalIllness.

I am so damned tired of draining everyone else's financial resources just to stay safe and housed.

I am so. goddamned. tired.

If you're willing AND able, please boost and if possible donate. If you can'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't feel bad.
