Mutual aid, boosts appreciated Sensitive
[$442/600 complete] For those who didn’t know, I am a 29-year old gamer and college student. I was diagnosed with autism since early age. I am very dependent on my pension and my aunt on my budget, however most of it went for food. So I have set this fundraising to help me cover college-related fees, free tuition couldn’t cover beyond intended purpose. Today, I find myself in urgent need of support, so I need a lot to cover post-college and burial expenses. Ko-fi: https://ko-fi.com/ahriboy/ and https://ko-fi.com/sonic880 Please if you can spare anything, Thank you! @mutualaid@ovo.st @mutualaid@fedigroups.social @MutualAidNet@mastodon.social @mutualaid@kolektiva.social @MutualAidVisibility@mastodon.social @mutual_aid@starflower.space @mutual_aid@hexbear.net #disability #MutualAid #MutualAidRequest #IndigenousMutualAid #TransMutualAid #TransCrowdFund #DisabilityCrowdfund #LGBTQIA #poverty #DisabilityMutualAid #TransCrowdfund #HelpFolksLive2026

HELP NEEDED $0/45 | $0/450 @ellespeaks@mastodon.social

$0/$45 phone
$0/450 May

Its exhausting spending hours a day trying to accomplish mutual aid for yourself so you can eat, but having it amount to nothing day after day

I'm just worried bc I need my phone or I could get kicked out of my Mat clinic. you need an active phone so they can call for random bottle counts at any point. If ur phones not connected its considered a fail.

The complex environment of benefits involves all sorts of perverse incentives, but here's one that is both stark & (up until now seemingly) under-recognised: for 16-17 year olds living at home, an apprenticeship (which is part of Govt. attempts to get young people into work or training) results in their families losing a chunk of benefits as they become 'independent workers' not children for benefits purposes.... disincentivizing them from training! #benefits #poverty https://www.theguardian.com/education/2026/apr/23/apprenticeship-penalty-poorer-uk-families-benefits-young-people-quit-training

An intetesting peculiarity of living in #SocialHousing is that we are explicitly banned from having window-based #AC in our units. While I live in #Alberta, my understanding is that this ban is found throughout social housing #leases in #Canada. Granted, the writing style and language choices strongly suggest such leases were drafted in the early 1970s at the latest, and back then I would have easily agreed that #AirConditioning would not be necessary. However, 50-some years on, the heat is routinely a bajillion (estimated 😛) degrees higher and #disabled folks and others in social housing are BANNED* from installing what is literally life-saving equipment under the 'new normal' of our #FireSeason summers. *TBC: portable AC units are not explicitly banned (not commercially-available yet when the leases were written??? 🤔) but these have limited range and are usually energy-inefficient compared to modern AC window units 6/x #health #safety #medical #medications #disability #poverty

In my own Quest to Survive, my #kitchen has been the nerve-centre of designing/creating/building/modifying things to help me stay alive through the crisis of the moment, as well as as more obvious ongong crises such as extreme heat, terrible air quality, etc. In some cases, #OffTheShelf technology to mitigate an issue exists, but (for example) both #poverty and #lease requirements prevent me from acquiring energy-efficient cooling technology. Even if I pay 100% of the cost of buying and installing a #window #AirConditioner, it means a breach of lease and possible #eviction. Given that I'm pretty sure I would not survive many days of being #unhoused (due to #MedicalConditions and #disability-management challenges, not due to any fellow unhoused neighbours), I have worked very hard to figure out other ways to mitigate heat in my unit. 8x #mitigations #experiements #SelfHelp #tenancy

We discussed my ability (and willingness) to attempt cooking food again. My relative bought some ingredients and we had an incredible #Indian dish one night (can't recall the name, apologies!) all made in the rice cooker from start to finish. Amazing!!! ❤️ 23/x #MealPrep #FoodSecurity #Inflation #poverty #accessibility #disability

"Nebraska is racing to implement Medicaid work requirements by May 1 — eight months before the national deadline set by the One Big Beautiful Bill Act passed by Congress last summer.

“Communities of color and the poor were disproportionately impacted through disrupted social networks—another consequence of the COVID-19 pandemic and a marker of poor health and premature death—and this may have further compounded who got sick and received treatment or care,” the authors wrote. https://www.cidrap.umn.edu/covid-19/burials-unclaimed-people-nyc-soared-early-covid-pandemic-suggesting-worsened-disparities #PublicHealth #deaths #burials #covid #pandemic #disparities #poverty #immigration

"Burge is one of thousands of patients served by RAM, a volunteer-run charity providing free medical, dental, and vision care to underserved communities across the United States. About half of the patients have no insurance. The rest have insurance they can't afford to use because of co-pays and deductibles." https://www.cbsnews.com/news/rams-free-clinics-full-of-needy-patients-but-slowed-by-red-tape-60-minutes/ #healthcare #clinics #insurance #medicine #dental #CostsOfCare #poverty #licensure

Reality check. ODSP max is $1,368 a month, roughly 60% below the poverty line. After rent, the math is brutal.

Just like we could create poverty, we can eliminate it too. It's just something rich people don't want to do. #anticapitalism #EatTheRich #FeedThePoor #ecb #economy #activism #anarchism #socialism #poverty #HumanRights
