About a month ago I got ghosted by my first real job just a couple months in, and it happened at a real inconvenient stage in my life. I didn't qualify for unemployment, so I was just kinda fucked and had to deal with it entirely on my own. I did manage to save some money during those two months, but now I'm running out and finding another job has been more challenging than I thought it would be.
My mother works at a grocery store, and she told me she'd talk to her manager about getting me hired there too. Couple dollars more than local min wage, night stocking shelves, which I actually enjoy doing so long as I'm not pushed into working at a ridiculous pace. So she set me up with an interview with her manager, and here's where I find out it's a temporary position opening up because her union is about to go on strike. The manager is telling me I might have to cross a picket line. My own mother set me up to scab at her workplace, and she didn't tell me.
Needless to say, I felt betrayed. She also feels betrayed at me for not taking the job. Lots of feelings of betrayal going around. So I'm back at square one, running out of money.
I need help paying for my Buprenorphine prescription this month and the next, and have no where to turn right now but Hexbear. It's 60 dollars with GoodRX, so I need to raise $120. I saw some other comrades in bad situations have actually been receiving judgement free aid here, and that's honestly fucking amazing.
If any comrade in a better position can help, here's my cashapp details: (removed payment link as per new rules) EDIT: I now have a Venmo account set up. (removed payment link as per new rules)
EDIT2: So far you've all raised $70! That's very helpful, I appreciate it so much. Just need another $50. EDIT3: Total donations at $90, only 30 more to go!
EDIT4: Thanks to all of you I've now hit my goal of $120. It'll be so nice for my mental health to not have to worry about this stuff for a little while. I want you all to know I appreciate this so much, and I hope to pay it forward when my situation becomes stable.
EDIT5: Removed payment links as per new rules.
I know cashapp is the most popular thing overall in US but you'd probably have better chances if you also post a paypal, venmo, zelle, etc. due to geographical preferences of certain apps
Honestly this might be the only decent use for cryptos. Opsec is the only thing keeping me from dropping cash on posts in this comm.
Back when I gave a shit about opSec I'd just buy a prepaid visa/mastercard gift card
My impression was that those were pretty traceable too.
Buy with cash and let them register it
If you really wanted to you could even wear gloves and a baseball cap to avoid cameras and fingerprints
Good thinking, I'll get that going
:) respond to my comment when you get other stuff up and running
I set up a Venmo account and added that to my original post. I also set up paypal and zelle accounts, but I'm not sure how to use those without doxing myself.
