I am the main provider for two disabled roommates while being disabled myself. One of my roommates has cancer, both have been in and out of the hospital this month. With so much time spent at the hospital, my job not allowing the usage of public wifi, and constantly needing to do chores+caretaking, I’ve barely been able to work this month.
I am exhausted, drowning in expenses, and no longer holding up mentally.
Right now, we need about $1,500 to just be able to catch up and get necessities while also being able to pay rent. Our rent is due on the 1st with no grace period.
Dm for details or proof, I have all the medical records for this shitshow, I’m just trying to keep this short. Vetted by @kyra45-helping-others who does scam busting here.
Sometimes, asking for donations on Tumblr feels like shouting into the void, with nothing left but tagging people in the hope that someone will notice. The sense of despair grows with every ignored plea, like drowning while screaming with no one to hear. If you can help, please consider donating—every little bit makes a difference.
products are so bad now that i have to do approximately 8 hours of research before i buy anything
Seriously, if you’re planning to spend a coupla hundred bucks on an appliance, or thousands for a car, spend $4 for a month of Consumer Reports (consumerreports.org).
They’re a not-for-profit consumersunion, dedicated to fair and honest reviews of everything people buy. Totally worth the membership.
And yeah, if money is tight you can join for a month then cancel the membership easily when you’re done with your research.
Also check to see if your local public library has a subscription, either in print or digital format (might be listed as a database rather than a magazine - that’s the case at my library in Canada).
Most libraries will provide access to CR, either in print or digital format. The digital archives are what you want when researching a specific product, since they cover different areas each issue.
In Denmark there is a similar product (for Scandinavians or anyone who feels like using Firefox’s translation capabilities): Forbrugerrådet Tænk (https://taenk.dk/) VERY useful. And some of the reviews aren’t under paywall iirc.
Cannot recommend getting your hands on the latest Auto Issue of CR enough if you’re buying a car. They have an entire issue dedicated solely to testing and rating cars on safety, reliability, and umpteen other categories. Looking to buy a used car? They keep tabs on older cars they’ve rated previously to see how they hold up over time.
hi! my friend kole’s ac broke this winter and as it’s getting warmer and warmer it’s making her a little more unhinged by the day, as she’s especially sensitive to heat. her mom is thinking about buying a new one with some administrative help from her job but the installation itself will cost around a 100€ which they really don’t have and if they did food would be a bigger priority. i would really like her to spend her birthday this summer not worrying about boiling her brains off like a little lobster <3 if we go over the goal it would go towards curbing her food insecurity which also sounds nice i think.
kole said she would prefer my paypal be used as she doesn’t want her legal name out there, proof undercut. if you do decide to donate, please mark it with “for kole”. thanks to everyone who shares!
I write to you today with a heavy heart, as life in Gaza becomes more difficult with each passing day. The ongoing war has shattered our lives, and every day presents new struggles that feel almost impossible to overcome.
One of the greatest challenges we face is the constant lack of electricity. It’s something we’ve come to live with, and it leaves us in darkness for most of the day. The simplest tasks, like charging our phones or filling up water, have become increasingly difficult.
Water, a basic necessity, is only available to us for a few hours once a week. We spend long hours each week trying to fill as many containers as possible to last through the days. The challenge of living without reliable access to water is hard to describe, but it’s a reality we are facing every single day.
In addition to this, the cost of everything has skyrocketed. Basic food, medicine, and necessities are now out of reach for many families. Prices have become unaffordable, and it is getting harder to make ends meet.
In the face of these challenges, we’ve come to realize that we need a source of sustainable energy to get through the darkness and manage our daily needs. We’re raising funds to purchase solar panels that will cost around $3,500 USD. These panels will allow us to charge our phones, provide light during the endless hours of darkness, and most importantly, help us manage our water supply more effectively.
The solar panels will make a huge difference in our daily lives. They will allow us to survive with more dignity, giving us the ability to stay connected, fill our water containers, and provide some relief in this challenging situation.
If you are able to help in any way—whether through a financial contribution or by sharing this post with others—it would mean the world to us. Your support will make a real and lasting difference.
To those of you who have already stepped in to help, we want to express our deepest gratitude. Your kindness, generosity, and commitment are something we will never forget. You have been a light in our darkest times, and we are so grateful for your support.
Together, we can make it through. Thank you for standing with us.
