update 2025-05-09: i fucked up & deleted this toot because i thought the hashtags didn't work. 🫠 also, i haven't received any funds for this...... i've reduced the goal from $550 to $400 because that's probably more obtainable. please help me help my friend out if you're able to. even $5 will help. if you're not able to send funds, please boost this.

original: a good friend of mine - who needs to remain anonymous for their safety - is trying to escape their family's home because they's been abused by said family for most of their life & they've had enough. my friend came out as trans to their family a few years ago, which unfortunately made the abuse worse. 1 of their relatives that they currently live with has even made multiple death threats to their face in the past couple of years, but so far hasn't gone any further than that, thankfully.

i'll be collecting the funds for them & passing them along. we're not sure how much they'll need, but i know a couple nights' stay in a hotel is about $400, & they'll need money for food & safe transportation via a taxi or similar. my friend's got a place they can move in a couple of weeks. they just really need some time to safely rest & recuperate & organise their life before then.

i've also recommended that they change their phone number so their family can't easily contact them, which might have a fee attached, but we don't know at this stage. my friend told me that they's contacted family/domestic violence orgs & the police in the past, but none of them have helped. the fv org didn't even have a record of my friend contacting them when they tried again.

please boost and share

hello everyone i’m Oda, a 23 years old trans femme from kyiv ukraine who ran from the war and became a refugee in the republic of ireland together with my nonbinary ukrainian 24 years old partner. we chose ireland because it is a geographically close english speaking country and as we already know the language pretty well this would mean significantly easier job hunting for me as we would not need to learn a new language and could become self sustainable much faster. to afford ourselves to make the move we took in sum 120,000 UAH of debt (which is almost 3000 euros depending on the exchange rate) and are currently in negative with our ukrainian credit cards blocked. when we arrived we got placed in a “designated accommodation center” which was a refugee camp in the middle of nowhere where we can’t find any job openings within walking distance and can not afford a car, a bike or even public transport. the conditions here are terrible: we live inside uninsulated shipping containers without running water, air conditioning or any furniture except a bulk bed. because the container has no insulation nor a dehumidifier, the walls are constantly running with water on the floor and cover everything with mold. because the floors and walls are always wet and we have no furniture, we gave up the first floor of our bulk bed to store our clothes and stuff on it so they are less likely to get moldy. this means we both have to sleep on a narrow second floor of a bulk bed. and even tho it means one of us risks falling down - the warm air from the only electric heater goes upwards so sleeping for both of us would be too cold. and yeah the toilet and the showers are outside which is not comfortable in the autumn or winter. at least we get fed three times a day but i’m a picky eater and can’t always eat what we are given. i’ve attached pictures demonstrating our living conditions. we arrived in the end of October - almost two months ago but due to being located in a rural area we are still struggling to find jobs and our legs get really tired from walking. we have until 20-th of January when our allowed stay at the refugee camp will end and we will be forced out and we are desperate to find jobs to allow ourselves rent or jobs with housing allowance or homeless shelters to move to. we reached out to NGOs who offer help in situations like ours like the Irish Red Cross or Crosscare but so far have no replies. all of this means that we rally need help, at least with the basic stuff: our monthly phone offers will expire soon which means we will have no data or calls to look for jobs and we really need to buy ourselves “Young adult Leap cards” so we could use Irish public transport at discounted prices. Our phone offers cost 20 euros each and to buy a “young adult leap card” you need 10 euros for each

This means right now we need at least 60 euros to continue job hunting and looking for shelter. that is the minimum that will allow us to stay productive and have any hope that we will find an opportunity to not become homeless

you can send your support to my paypal account - https://paypal.me/OdarkaVoronina

we also would be rally helpful for any additional funds over the minimal goal of 60 euros as any more money we would receive will go towards paying off our 3000 euros debt and unlocking our ukrainian bank accounts

thank you for your attention, boosts and help, it means a lot

Please Help Bear and Misty Eat in November!

my friend Bear and their partner Misty are a disabled, transgender, COVID-cautious couple who are struggling to budget for food in November in the absence of SNAP benefits. please donate to them if you can!

a message from Bear:

SNAP is delayed and won't be provided for November. Both my partner Misty and I rely on our SNAP benefits to get groceries every month.

I receive $298 in food stamps each month, and Misty gets a similar amount.

I also have a specialized diet because of my diabetes, soy allergy, and other health issues. I'm disabled, mostly housebound, and unable to work.

PLEASE Help Two Disabled Trans People Afford Food and Housing!

Payment info:
Paypal/cashapp - largesoups
Venmo: large_soup

my friend Bug and their partner B are a disabled, trans, and housing/food-insecure couple, and they need your aid!

a message from Bug:

We need a lot more help with this than we have gotten. We have gotten $30/$1000

We need $1000 by December. With the government shutdown, it is highly likely that we not only wont get my $450, but we also wont get the $580 we get together in food stamps. That is just over $1000 we will already be missing. We needed a lot of help already, even with that income. Come December, my partners mom will not pay the full rent here. Please help us.

if you've ever appreciated my writing or advocacy work on here, then please donate if you can reasonably afford to do so

UPDATE: She didn't make it. The cost ended up being $357.42.

(Cobalt:) So, Angel (our cat) hasn't been eating much for days, and then just now she drooled a huge amount on our blanket. The vet on call said it's urgent to get her looked at.

Any amount we can raise would be really helpful. Our partner agreed to cover the remainder, but they're not *rich*.

I'd like to aim for $300 (and I'll crosspost this in various places). Any amount we don't use and can't return, we'll use for daily living costs like Angel's food. Our PayPal is @/rainbowolmstead1, and so you know you have the right one: the name is Rainbow Phoenix Olmstead, and the icon is two knitted opossums. I can also look into other payment methods!

Info about us: We are a severely disabled and trans plural system. We can't work, but we're not on disability payments yet. Our daily living costs are primarily covered by our partner, government assistance, and occasional sales of knitted items.
