Is there anyone in direct managerial positions able to help me find a job or a lead? I am going to lose everything and cannot land a single interview. Having no income in this chaotic presidency is taking a toll.

Hi all, my family and I could really use your help! The doctor failed to properly document my illness, and so I am not receiving short-term disability. We found out when the money didn't show up. We have nothing saved; we are still trying to catch up on bills from being unemployed most of last year.
Urgent expenses:
* Funds for meals for the coming week. We are feeding 2 adults and 2 preteens.
Less urgent, but still important:
* Electric Bill $143.51 (Due Date 07/07)
* Water Bill $137.99 (due 07/22)
* Phone $222 (due 08/07; past due amount can't get an extension on that, it is the extension)
* Car Payment $1135.49 (2 months past due, next due date 07/08)
* Back property taxes payment $726 (06/26 past due, next due date 07/26)

My bike’s stuck at “session zero” until I gear up (epilepsy + drivers rolling critical fails).
Fund milestones to unlock #TTRPG games + my safe mobility. So close to being road ready!

I was anticipating a solution to my friend's car problems, but because the seller of a vehicle was always on call to their job, they held off the sale for an entire month while the seller goes to work.
Given I've lost all means to cope while stuck with cabin fever, I was hoping progress would mute my habit of meltdowns. Now nothing is preventing it. I've already lost internet friends & stand to lose more. Last friend I lost was because my peer supports weren't there & my psychologist was away for an entire week.
Basically food money or money towards repaying debt/hobby projects is going to keep me sane. My roommate was arrested for mental health and I'm sure another meltdown will make my landlords 911 trigger happy.

Y'all deserve a new thread:
Latest social worker response to my psychologist was is "we have units available in catchment, but your client is stubborn and picky." In typical neurotypical sarcasm.
Roommate is 99% not coming back. I might have a loss on keyboards and RAM I bought them.
False promises were made for food security when the reality is my landlords having a baby WILL mean they forget. (Noise is also unavoidable)
Topping it all off, peer support is still depending on a reliable vehicle and that still hasn't had any solid promises.
Buffer money (for food and supplies) is desperately needed to maintain my "model tenant" status (by allowing 1000% me time) which was recently confirmed by my social worker.

Guys let’s help if we can #MutualAid 275 euros so we can complete buying steel rods as we are only left with those right now for the house project and we need those before next week.
Anyone please reconsider supporting if you can.

Please boost if you can’t support financially.
God bless.
Skipping doctors & a med to balance my budget works, but isn't a good idea. Help me make a few medical visits.

My sister-in-law who has been a friend for over 20 years has been battling #Leukemia for 5 years, and is now halfway across the country receiving #stemcell treatments.
The treatments themselves are covered by our national healthcare system and my brother's insurance, however, travel, lost wages, child care and other expenses are NOT covered and must come out of pocket.

I'm looking to build out the Free Fridge & Community Pantries in my town.
I'll continue to update this thread with my progress.
So, the idea is to have nodes throughout town that allow folks to "Give a Food, Take a Food". Similar to "Little Free Libraries" are to books. Folks who have extra food can drop it off there, folks who need food can grab it there.
The focus here is mutual aid, not charity. So, absolutely, if you are food insecure or hungry, utilize it, right. Beyond that though, this is a great piece of infrastructure to share extra food with your neighbors. I will go down to the free fridge we have in town, drop off some of my extra produce that I have grown, and then pick up a can of black beans if I need it for dinner that night. We're meant to contribute AND utilize the free fridge.
There are many ways to create and maintain free fridges, from something as simple as a small box or outdoor cabinet on up to full stand up refrigerators and freezers with an outdoor pantry.
In general, you want it to be a couple of things:
- Accessible to the public
- 24 hours a day, 7 days a week
- Unmanned
- No restrictions on who can utilize it or take food from it - it should NOT employ any means-testing
- Receive shelf stable food and/or refrigerated food and/or frozen food
Further, you can break up the different groups that are involved in the free fridge:
- The Host
- The Maintainers
- The Community
The Host - provides a location for the fridge and pantry to be installed and accessed. They also provide electricity to power the fridge/freezer
The Maintainers - this would be my group. We source, install, maintain, repair, and clean the fridge, freezer, and pantry.
The Community - contributes food to and utilizes food from the fridge and pantry. This is important. While the host provides the site and the Maintainers keep it operational, neither one has to stock food or coordinate utilization. The community does it themselves.
Having it split up like this is nice. Can folks from the Host group maintain it? Certainly. But extrapolating it allows for ease of use.
So. Keeping it stocked is up to the community. I've seen it stocked by gardeners who have extra produce (Zucchini turns folks into socialists is the joke! You just grow sooooo much you end up LOSING FRIENDS when you try to push it off on others!). I've seen it stocked through Food Rescue efforts. Some families buy extra from the grocery store and this is a great place to drop it off. I've even seen the local Food Bank drop off extra food when they had left overs from a food distribution.
Keeping it utilized is also easy. You don't want the fridge to stay stocked, right. You want it to stay in the fridge for as short a period of time as possible before someone comes and grabs it. Heck! I've seen a food rescue of fresh produce from a farmer's market vendor be dropped off at a free fridge and then claimed by several families even before it had a chance to be placed physically into the fridge! This is ideal. One fridge and pantry needs to serve the local neighborhood. That's many many families. It can only do so if its filled up and then utilized multiple times a day.
Next post, I'll put some resources on starting your own in your town.

MUTUAL AID
Hi all.
My name is Mabelin and I'm trying to raise money to purchase a BrailleSense 6 Mini, that I will be using to either continue my studies, or find a job. Whichever one comes first.
My family and I are on a low income, and where we live, we have no financial assistance. Plus there are no disability services where I live.
The amount that I need to round up is $2500.
Any amount that you can contribute will help. If you would be as so kind to help me out with this I'd really appreciate it. I need to get the money as soon as possible as I would like to get the unit before this year is over.
To those who donate, I will be very grateful and thank you as I really do need your help.
I really want to have my own note taker that I can use to become successful in life. That's one of my biggest dreams.. The link to donate is below:
