Still need $140!

14 people sending $10 each clears this, and I would be able to put a proper grocery order in.

If we can't do that today, can I at least get $40 for lunch and dinner for the day? 💕💸

Well, the goal for the bill never got cleared, but I'm just deciding to focus on groceries for the week. Goal of $170, any help is greatly appreciated. 💸💕

So, I FINALLY received my first donation this week-- $15 last night.

This CF is still moving a lot slower than I was hoping. If we can't clear this today, can 4 people spare $10 at the very least so I can eat lunch and dinner today? 💕💸

October 9th. #HelpFolksLive2025 thread. Something's *always* due & food is *always* needed. Things only get better with community action. *Now* is when folks need food, water, shelter, meds. *Now* is when we/the community needs to be there for each other. There's no one else. Just us.

Day 3 of this CF and STILL NO FUCKING DONATIONS!

Like, I honestly don't know if I'm getting ignored, or if things have really gotten tight for other people. Either way, it's been frustrating as hell going this long without a single donation. 💕💸
