Absolute thanks and well wishes to everyone who has helped me 🫂🫂🫂 Love you all 😢

Oh and Jack, tysm for not just your generosity, but also your kind words. I actually was sitting on that job reply for two days. I somewhat rushed into my current job (out of financial desperation). I don’t want that to happen again, but I should at least check things out via an interview.

Everyone’s kindness helped me and now I’m 👇🏾
$127.28 USD / $50 USD
(including an extra $50 I haven’t added yet 🫶🏾)

I can buy some more necessities for the house that we’re running low on like water and pads. And keep that extra cash there until the 20th. Seriously, I cannot thank everyone enough! 🥹

One more post to thank the other kind soul and I’ll close the donation pool. Again, bless all of you who assisted me ♥️

Attached: 1 image Hi there! I’m in a desperate bind right now and I could really use the help. Would you mind helping a bipoc, neurodivergent / disabled, transmasc nb who is also working poor? That needs to support herself/himself and their aging, disabled parent? I don’t need much. Only $50 USD for now. I just need some cash to hold me over until my next paycheck on Feb 20th. 100 would be most ideal, tho~ Most of the last of my money went into a phone bill and paying for just a few groceries. Then I had less than ten bucks in my account. I’m genuinely scared of overdrafting again, which is why I need that 50. Adding a photo for proof of my lack of funds. I’m currently trying to find a new job so I won’t have to be in this situation constantly. I did get a reply to my job application yesterday (for a behavior intervention specialist position) so we’ll see how that goes… Anyway, if you can help out, that would be lovely!

The Two Bums

The bum on the rods is hunted down as an enemy of mankind
The other is driven around to his club, is feted, wined and dined

And they who curse the bum on the rods as the essence of all that's bad
Will greet the other with a willing smile and extend a hand so glad

-George Milburn the Hobos Hornbook (1930) https://www.horntip.com/html/books_&_MSS/1930s/1930_the_hobos_hornbook__george_milburn_(HC)/index.htm

Today’s Hobos

Years ago, Woody Guthrie sang the “Hobo’s Lullaby,” lamenting: Go to sleep you weary hobo Let the towns drift slowly by Can't you hear the steel rails

In America today, millions of people are just one medical bill, one missed paycheck, one rent hike away from becoming homeless.
