During a military-style raid on a building in Chicago’s South Shore, one resident heard a knock on his door.   It wasn’t the feds — it was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for help.

He let them hide in his unit for the next 3 days.

I have a podcast called The AntiMLM Podcast because I was in LuLaRoe and the number one comment we’d get was “oh we thought you meant the other one”

$600 OVERDUE BILLS URGENT!

Any combo ppl x $$ = $600 so they can get caught up. Late fees, compound interest, & reconnect charges all keep people in the "poverty trap". Getting the bills cleared & to date helps them out of that trap.

Pls RS/QS. Pls do what you can. #HelpFolksLive2025

I’m still in need of $400 to cover overdue bills, rent, utilities, and our car note. My wife and I are both disabled and doing everything we can to stay afloat, but things are getting tight. Any help means the world to us right now.

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.

Fuck fuck fuck I need advice??? I got an interview for a sales company but the reviews online are awful - if you don’t get a sale in 4 days they let you go - it’s a revolving door of people, etc etc. I don’t know what to do. What if I lose money and days of work trying it out? Fuck.

I went into this work day with patience, knowing I can wait for orders and still make money but after 5 hours and $28 I am about to lose my mind
