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.
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.
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.
