and then try to focus on gathering funds for the crucial medication i need to refill today (additional $332).

my landlord has notified me that his lawyer is drafting an eviction letter & i have until 16:00 EST to pay or i'll be served

The image features a bathtub with a dirty interior, showing grime and stains. Above the tub, a showerhead is visible. On the right side, there is text that reads "HELP NEEDED" in bold letters, followed by a message that says "Disabled & unable to work living 50% below the Canadian poverty line. Lesbian & non-binary Need help covering basic needs (food, medication & clothing). Will have to move soon due to my landlord needing my apartment vacant to do repairs. I need to prepare in case I suddenly need to move." A link for donations is provided at the bottom - ko-fi.com/qpthepurplesnep The overall tone is serious and seeks support.

If folks have a good resource for things folks on Medicare & SSDI need to do to be ready for the new hellscape coming, I could use help.

I am too anxious & stressed to do real research atm, but I need to be ready, & having good resources from trusted folks will help greatly.

I am frankly scared.

Please stop reporting Palestinian accounts, don’t be an ass!! If for whatever reason you don’t want to see posts asking for donations you can simply ignore, mute, or use the “hide post” option. It’s not spam to ask for money and you shouldn’t assume everyone is a scammer (they aren’t).

If you’re reporting Palestinian accounts as spam I want you to have to deal with the messages I get when this happens. Absolutely panicked people trying to keep their families alive that you decided to do that to because you found them annoying. Scummy behavior.

An action you can take in uncertain times.

Help KS stay housed. She's come so far and only needs $250 more for past due rent. Shares are always helpful and can get this seen by people with extra to give. If you're one of those people, you can make a huge difference in someone's life.
