When I'm presented with the choice of helping the elderly couple who are still working retail into their 70s keep their hotel room until payday vs paying my phone bill or comfort, my phone bill and comfort tend to loose out.
I wish I didn't have to make choices like that but I'm also grateful to be able to help when I have cash on hand.

1860 / 7000
Lots of shares—ty! No new donations 🥺 I have a handful of monthly patrons totaling $317 in ongoing gifts, and if you can swing it, this is an amazing way to help.
My partner and I both have a ton of work projects that we can support ourselves with however we desperately need childcare but we can't even cover rent.

in reply to nullagent • • •Not to sound like a Dem text or anything, but this is me... begging. It's one thing when it's just me but I've got a partner and kid and another kid I'm trying to reunite with. I truly need your help, I'm trying to be creative and not hit y'all over the head, I just don't know what else to do.
Super appreciate how this community has gotten me this far, hope we can keep it going.

in reply to nullagent • • •So the bad news is the car didn't survive my plan to get an early start at the hacker space, but the good news is I did 😤
SR99 got a good one today, I just replaced the front suspension myself this fall 😭 Thankfully the crash wasn't my fault, I don't have any graphic injuries and insurance will help some but this is a setback for sure.
If you're able to pitch in I'd appreciate a little love

Guy behind me missed the memo, was totally distracted, and just slammed into me probably around 40 mph.
I had just enough time to realize he wasn't stopping and right as I connected the dots I had an air bag in my chest.
I felt fine during the adrenaline, but definitely feeling a touch concussed now.
Extremely thankful this car had ample crumple zones for real.

in reply to nullagent • • •The force of the crash knocked the spare tire loose from the car in front if me, which then got lodged under me, struck the engine from the underside and punctured all sorts of stuff, RIP.
Anyway, the second I'm finally settled with the cops, tow truck and getting tf off that cursed viaduct, the guy's insurance calls, every question they had felt like entrapment or some setup to get out of paying the claim 🥴
My brain was a lil scrambled and they seemed hella ready to take advantage.

in reply to nullagent • • •This is a roller-coaster, ok so the insurance company promised a rental car and the plan does cover 30days of a free rental.
BUT the reservation number they keep getting from the rental car companies isn't actually attached to a car and all of the companies are booked out for days.
Kinda seems like its not actually a reservation tho and the rental companies seem to not actually want to commit a vehicle to insurance claim reservations.

in reply to nullagent • • •If the insurance run around weren't bad enough, I just found out that if the guys insurance pays out a settlement beyond basic medical costs due to owing child-support I would never see any settlement cash.
Unclear what happens to the value of the vehicle, but thankfully the car was still in a family friends name and hadn't been transfer to my partner and I yet. So hopefully I don't need to get a family lawyer for that part.

in reply to nullagent • • •Really love how ex who makes 5x what I do can literally just take settlement money from injuries that don't involve them and they don't actually need to raise our child.
So anywho... I feel like I'm on some 3x way rock-hard place brain teaser.
Need car to work, live and play. At every step car is stolen by thieves and the state ffs.
On day one of the divorce the state took my home & car before we ever stepped foot into a court and years later they can still do that.

in reply to nullagent • • •Urgent mutual aid:
Alright insurance is only paying out about half the purchase price of another equivalent 15+ year old vehicle.
Which is quite a bind right now as my partner is also just finding out that the contract they lined up probably isn't panning out.
So we were already pretty highly rent burdened and now we're trying to recover from our car being in an accident.

in reply to nullagent • • •Ok so this month was a bit of a disaster.
A family friend had given us a car, which has been a MASSIVE help for my partner and I as we raise an soon to be 9month baby.
But this month the car got totaled in the middle of a 3 car pile up. Insurance isn't covering enough to buy a new(to us) car and what they are paying out hasn't arrived yet.
So very much in need of some support this month if you're able to help out.

My knees aren't what they used to be and worse covid isn't over.
In a world without covid, I'd be love to take our tiny human on the bus and train, but it's pretty much impossible to get a 8 month to wear a mask and its even more challenging to keep unmasked strangers out of their adorable lil face.

That whole "the average American can't afford an unexpected $400 emergency"... really bit us hard this month with the car crash. We're still waiting to get reimburst from car crash expenses and we've had a ton of unexpected bills this month on top of it.
Anything helps:

We're 50% of the way there and have one more day on our grace period, thanks again to our fedi friends for getting us this far!
