I can’t access my money apps, so a friend was so exceedingly kind as to let me log into and use her PayPal account: xandriahinton@gmail.com
I need to prepare for the worst—I know there’s no way in Hell I’m going to fundraise the money to buy another car, if mine is gone. But who knows? I also need to buy first aid supplies for my leg, clothes, food, and ideally a couple nights at a motel.
I don’t think it’s that nobody cares, it’s that hardly anyone has any spare money right now. People help when they can.
It’s not that nobody cares, it’s that there is so much need and the people who address it have limited funds.
I desperately want to be able to make people’s reliance on direct aid go away permanently- by giving them a room in a communal house by the edge of the woods in a college town- but I don’t own that house yet. I do have monthly savings that I could sweep into urgent routine needs, but then I would just be working to survive, with no progress in my life, and that would make me spiral into self-destruction. I’m maybe a third of the way to a first step in what I hope will be a cascading effect for organizing; my PMs are open if this horizon sounds appealing.
