A little help

isame [he/him]@hexbear.net to mutual_aid@hexbear.netEnglish · 3 months ago

Hey all! I could use a little help. I was supposed to be above water now… But then my son hurt his ankle (everything is fine, just needs to stay off it for a bit) during the like one month period in which neither him or I have health insurance because of my job change. So I helped his mom pay for expenses related to that, and now I’m more or less in the same boat I’ve been in, with a lot of work and not a lot of calories to make last.

I’m off today and tomorrow, so I’m hoping to get some stuff and do meal prep. I work as a merchandiser, which means I travel between different grocery stores. My current plan is to make burrito filling and just leave it in my truck. I live in Florida, so by the time I’m ready to eat (930-11am) it should be nice and warm.

If anyone has tips for work lunches in this situation I’d appreciate it! Buying food on the go is disastrous for the bank account.

RULES:

All mutual aid requests must go in this community.
Mods do not vet individual mutual aid requests. Donate at your own risk.
Do not request donations for funding anything explicitly illegal.
Comments giving unsolicited advice will be removed. (See below)

Additionally:

If you are open to non-monetary aid please indicate so in your post

If you have concrete evidence of something even remotely suspicious, do not hesitate to bring it to the attention of a moderator for review via direct message
We strongly advise you ask people to send you a direct message to obtain information regarding payment to prevent inadvertent opsec leaks.

Moderator Pinning Rules:

Moderators are strictly prohibited from promoting/endorsing/pinning individual mutual aid requests (especially those of their own) as this creates unfair post visibility and could therefore benefit more from that than the standard user. Moderators caught engaging in this behavior will be swiftly removed from the moderator board with extreme prejudice.
Moderators are allowed to pin and crosspost donation requests for large scope issues such as natural disaster relief funds and bail funds ((Example)[https://hexbear.net/post/16574) along with other crowd or moderator-compiled informational resources pertaining to donating or volunteering (Example), so long as the utmost due diligence is done prior to endorsement, especially in the case of directing people to donate to non-profit organizations.
Financial documents of non-profit organizations available to the public must be heavily scrutinized before moderator endorsement, and links to those must also be included in the endorsement post to help the community make their own decision if they should donate.
