Long story short, out of all the other things we’ve been struggling with, we just found out out utility bill hasn’t been auto-drafting like it was supposed to and we are behind by 4 months.

We got help from our church but we still owe $400. We’ve practically burned through our savings while I’ve been trying to find a job and this sort of snuck up on us and it’s a pretty big punch in the gut.

I really hate to ask since others have it worse off than us but anything will help. The goal is $400 but anything really will help. I’ll probably take this post down in a few days because I don’t wanna take away from our comrades that don’t even have a roof over their heads.

My Venmo and Paypal is @rouxination.

My CashApp is $rouxination.

Thanks and love y’all.

E: thanks to those that chipped in. I’m gonna check back in the am and update again. My partner and I are working on budget stuff now so I am gonna take a break from thinking about money. I appreciate the help.

Amber

I’d see if you can do an incremental payment option, I know in my city they give you that option.

I can look into it when we get the auto-draft thing fixed. I think calling them is on my list of things to do this week.

Don’t apologize, having your utilities cut off in the middle of the winter isn’t that far off from not having a roof over your head

SEND SANDINBAND DONATION RECEIPTS.

RULES:

    1. Mods do not vet individual mutual aid requests. Donate at your own risk and hold each other accountable. If you see something even remotely suspicious, do not hesitate to bring it to the attention of a moderator for review.
    1. All mutual aid requests must go in this community.
    1. Do not request donations for funding anything explicitly illegal.
    1. Sending censored donation receipts to the moderator team is based.
    1. Moderator Pinning Rules:

    a. 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.

    b. Moderators are allowed to pin and crosspost to !main donation requests for large scope issues such as natural disaster relief funds and bail funds (Example) 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.

    c. 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 as to whether or not they should donate.
