I'm out of money and food until Tuesday night, so I could really use some help. Anything at all is helpful right now. I just spent my last 1.60 on three cups of ramen for lunch at work. Thank you, comrades.

[Thank you!] I could really use some help with groceries. I get paid tonight but it's all going to my past-due rent. I'm having to pay like 120 in late fees this month because I couldn't make it happen on time. So I just need some food. Thank you all so much. Life has kind of thrown me a curve ball in terms of a couple personal relationships and I could really do without the added stress of trying to figure out how I'm eating. Also, if anyone has suggestions on good poverty food please feel free to share!

This may be the wrong comm. Sorry if it is. I recently misplaced my pride lanyard, along with my keys. The keys have been replaced. I'd like to buy something pansexual-themed, as that is how I identify. Does anyone have any good sources for such things? I found a seller on Etsy that sold chainmaille pieces (I used to make them), but my order was cancelled. I assume the shop is defunct. A lanyard isn't necessary, but something subtle that I can wear at a major grocery chain would be good. We're allowed *_a little_* personal expression. Shipping in the US is a requirement.

[Thank you!] Hello all you wonderful people. I come here today with a less dire request than usual. I've managed to more or less stay on top of my bills, and with a little help from a friend with food stamps, I have food. I do, however, need a new pair of work pants. The one pair that I currently own has developed a hole in the ass. Fortunately, it's on the left hip pocket, and the pocket liners are dark colored like the pants, so you can't see my underwear or anything. But it still doesn't look good, and I feel a draft that makes me paranoid. Looks like I can get a pair of Dickie's at Walmart for ~25 + tax, so that's what I'm requesting. I've lost so much weight in the last year that I don't even know what size I am anymore, so I'll have to go try some on. But there's a Walmart a little over two miles from my apartment, so I can walk or bus there. I appreciate any help. Thank you all! PayPal: sgriffith0891 at geemail dot com CashApp: $sgriffith0891 Thank you comrades!

My bike has a flat, so I'm currently relying on coworkers for rides, which I don't like doing. I could also use some supplemental groceries. Those who keep up with the little mess that is my life will be glad to know that I've stopped losing weight and I'm feeling a lot better. The unfortunate side effect of that is it means I am eating a ridiculous amount of food some days to offset my expenditure at work. I'm mostly buying pork chops, potatoes, a green vegetable of some variety and ramen or rice for carbs. So nometimes I think I'm cooking enough for two meals and I just go through it all. But this is an improvement to uncontrollabled weight loss. 40 should be enough if I'm careful. PayPal: sgriffith0891@gmail.com CashApp: $sgriffith0891 Thank you all so much!

I've got a friend coming over in a couple days and we decided we were in the mood to watch some old fashioned sci-fi. Or, something newer would work as well. I'd like to find something with a leftist bent, but I'm unsure where to start, or what's out there. I've never been a big movie buff. Suggestions?

I've got a little instant brown rice but no meat left. I need some TP and to buy a plunger, apparently, because waiting for maintenance to come do it is getting a little silly. I've been walking up to the office to use the restroom. I get paid tomorrow but about $310 of the $340 my direct deposit must be purchased as a money order and put towards rent, otherwise there's no way I'll be able to pay it come next week. Thanks for any help that can be given. PayPal: sgriffith0891 at geemail dot com CashApp: $sgriffith0891 You are all amazing.

I bought my money order for rent again, so that's set aside, but now I need more food. I know I'm back here every week and I'm trying to get out of this cycle. Because of your help and the help of some in-person friends, I've finally been eating properly this last week or so. I'm getting lots of protein and I don't feel so weak and tired all the time, even though I worked eight days straight while not sleeping well. So the help I have been getting has been a life saver, without question. I'll be on my feet soon, I think. I'm trying, comrades. Anything helps, thank you all! PayPal: sgriffith0891 at gmail dot com CashApp: $sgriffith0891 o7

I just need groceries. I bought the money order for rent, and now I'm broke. $40 for food will probably do it. I have some pork chops still, about two day's worth. CashApp: $sgriffith0891 PayPal: sgriffith0891@gmail.com

Thank you! I put aside a quarter of my rent this week, as I'm determined to pay it myself. But I need toilet paper and more money for food. I went shopping and got what I could, pork chops mostly, but it wasn't enough and will be gone soon. I talked with my boss today that I can't keep killing myself like this. I can't afford to eat enough food to make up for my energy expenditure. My job is literally killing me, mentally and physically. I can't stop shedding weight, and that's while I'm putting on muscle, so I'm actually losing more in a way. I'm down to 139. I'm 5 10 and broad shouldered. That's way too light. I've got job applications out and I've got in touch with some contacts that are going to look for me. I'm working to not even survive. I'm so tired. Like my soul is weary at this point. I need to schedule therapy really badly but can't afford it. I need new work pants because I've lost so much weight mine are probably 5 inches too big in the waist. I don't even know what my size is anymore. I also need to update the addy on my driver's license so I can then get my marijuana card renewed, which is about 100 all told. That's the only way I have to medicate myself right now. I need a new phone as mine is a shitty one a friend gave me, and it crashes just using the text now app that I have to use because I can't afford a phone bill anymore. I'm trying really hard not to let life break me but I'm struggling. But for right now, I just need toilet paper and some groceries. Thank you comrades, even if all you have is advice or kind words. I'm not in a great spot mentally right now, so anything is helpful. I love all you internet strangers. If it wasn't for Hexbear being the way it is and teaching me what it has, and not even accounting for the financial help, I don't know where I'd be, or if I would even still be, at all. I hope you're all doing well. Cashapp: $sgriffith0891 PayPal: sgriffith0891 gmail com Thank you, again.

Need is met. Thank you! Go help someone else, please! I get paid tomorrow night, so I don't need much. But I work tomorrow and will definitely need fuel to throw truck and bust my ass like I do. I've got two small potatoes and maybe a cup of rice right now. I applied for a second job today, with my apartment complex. That would discount my rent and pay me. Hopefully it comes through. I don't know anything about being a maintenance tech, but I can learn just about anything. I'm doing my best, friends. PayPal: sgriffith0891 at gee mail Cashapp: $sgriffith0891

My phone bill is 45 and I've got 15 (25 now!) available for it. While not incredibly critical, I do use my phone to catch the bus, tracking it as well as my bus pass. I also ride my bicycle in the morning at 3am before the buses run, and not having a way to contact my work or a friend if something goes wrong makes me nervous. Sorry to be back again so soon. Please take care of people needing food and such first. Thank you all so much. Cashapp: $sgriffith0891 PayPal: sgriffith0891 at gmail dot com

Edit: Holy shit, thank you! I'd like to leave open my DMs for insight or advice, but the financial need is met. Please don't post to the thread as not to bump it, to allow others to be seen. Due to an apparently emerging mental health issue which has caused me to have what appear to be brand-new manic depressive episodes, of which I've had two in the past month, I've made some poor decisions and my rent is late. I have 275 of the currently 773. I get paid another 340 tomorrow, but I'll need groceries at a minimum. So ~300 toward rent. If I pay on the last possible day, 8/8, it would be 803. Not to give the sob story, but I feel details are deserved. I have a son with a now ex that was born when I was 19. I'm 33 and making 15 an hour. I'm full time with benefits. So 70 a week plus a total of 90 a week for our mandatory insurance. So my take-home is 340 a week. Rent plus utilities is running about 709 a month. There's not much wiggle room there. I just took a week off with PTO because I had one of these episodes. I started off manic, then went real dark and drank, etc. None of this is anyone's fault but my own. I'm fully aware that everything I've described is a direct consequence of one of my choices. I am offered 25 a visit mental healthcare through my employer. As soon as I get rent paid I'm scheduling. It's been a few years and clearly it's not just anxiety I can manage with medical marijuana anymore. I haven't drank in three days, since I pulled myself out of this last spiral. There's a lot of potential in my job. Once I get to a point I can transfer anywhere in my region of the country. I even enjoy what I do. I can make good money, in a year or so. So I know this is a big ask and I'm also seeking help from family and friends. But we're all struggling. I see all the posts here and we're all struggling here, too. I delayed asking because I hate this. It's too much. But I got my three day notice today. I thought I had more time. I'm going to call the complex in the morning and see if they will work with me as they did once in the past, but it's still $10 a day. This community has gotten me through some rough times and I don't like asking more and more. Literally helped feed me and keep me off the street. But I need help. Thank you for listening, comrades. I also welcome any advice or insight. I have friends who are both bipolar and bpd, but I'm not as educated as I should be. I just know something is definitely wrong. PayPal: sgriffith0891 at Gmail Cashapp: $sgriffith0891

Honestly my financial situation has gone even more sideways and I might need more help soon, but here's the immediate need. I've been out of work for mental health reasons for almost a week. I need to get to work tomorrow, I ride a bicycle, and I live right in the middle of Florida. Fortunately that means I'm actually probably insulated from real danger, but not on a bicycle. I'm scheduled at 4am but I was told to be safe and they'd rather me be late. So that's the rub. 4 mile Uber ride at 4am. I think 25 is enough. Cashapp is $sgriffith0891 PayPal is sgriffith0891 at gee mail dot com Thank you!

I get paid tomorrow night, but for now the fridge is empty and I need some food. Can someone spot me 15? Thank you, comrades. $sgriffith0891 sgriffith0891 at geemail.com

Just need a little help between checks. I could use some not-ramen, and I need some hair ties. Thank you all! It's raise season so with any luck I'll have to post here less! CashApp: $sgriffith0891 PayPal: sgriffith0891 at geemail dot com

I just wanted to make a post saying thank you to everyone. Life has been really hand-to-mouth for me for the last year, since I lost my last job and found Hexbear. The help this community has provided me has been literally life changing. Nearly without fail if I have a need, it gets met, and I've needed a lot. I just wanted to give my sincerest thanks to everyone here. This community is incredible and I can't wait to give back. Be well my friends!

Edit: Need met. Thank you so much comrade! I miscalculated or fucked up somewhere and I'm about $50 short of rent, due by close of business July 3rd. If anyone could help out I'd appreciate it. If I have to pay it late next check the late fees would be about $100 and I'd be a week behind. Thank you all! Edit: DM or see past posts for PayPal, please.

Just got off work and haven't eaten today. I've got some white rice at home for sustenance but obviously that's not much without other food. I get paid tomorrow night, so I don't need much. DM for PayPal, or check my past posts. No CashApp please as it's overdrawn Thank you!

I need about 60 for new pants for work, and 50 for bread, lunch meat, some Ramen, and sundry foodstuffs. Every step forward I get hit with a new expense. I'm feeling pretty discouraged but I know I can figure this out. I just need some help. Thanks everyone DM for where to send please.

Could someone PayPal me like 25 for food and sundries? The next few weeks will continue to be economically very stressful, and some money for food would be a huge stress relief. Paypal: sgriffith0891@gmail.com Thanks in advance! I hope you are all doing well!

I had to go to the doctor and I need $50 to fill the meds I was prescribed. Also if anyone knows an online job where I can pick up like 10 hours a week please let me know. It's looking like I'm going to need a second job of some variety. PayPal is sgriffith0891 at geemail Thank you!

I budgeted badly somewhere. After my check hit and paying a couple necessary things, I'm about $60 short of paying this month's rent plus late fees, as I'm having to pay late. I'm working on a budget now. It's looking like I'm going to be perma broke, but I should be able to make ends meet, ultimately. CashApp is $sgriffith0891 PayPal is sgriffith0891 at geemail. Thank you, friends.

I'll be paying rent late this month, and the subsequent late fees and such are eating my budget. I could use some help for food and toiletries, if someone could! PayPal: sgriffith0891 at Gmail CashApp: $sgriffith0891 Thanks in advance! One day soon I'll get ahead of life.

Hi comrades! I've had some major life changes (ending of a relationship) that will ultimately improve my finances, but for the moment has left me out of money and nearly out of food. Any help would be appreciated! PayPal is sgriffith0891 at gee mail. My cash app is a little backwards so PayPal is best, as I have a card for it. Thank you!

We're taking the little ones to the museum tomorrow. That's covered but i don't really have the money to take them to lunch. If someone could cover like $20 that'd be wonderful. Thank you comrades. $sgriffith0891 Venmo @griff0891 PayPal: sgriffith0891 at geemaildotcom

Update plus a new request. Turns out my girlfriend's health issues are because she's so stressed she's just not eating. We knew this was a problem but didn't realize how bad it has gotten. She's going through a divorce with kids involved and it's not been going super well. She barely gets to see her kids and it's obviously really causing her issues. To give a more general view into my life, I'm currently trying to work towards a bigger, non-student apartment (I'm definitely not a student, just broke) so that we can get her kids and not have to depend on her mother. We need a car too so we have more agency and freedom when we have them, plus hopefully open up another income stream delivering food/groceries or something. But with her health issues, my girlfriend has been unable to work basically at all. She's new at her job but they've been surprisingly patient. I'm not angling for enough money to do all that. But there's just too much to pay for. I'm burning out and feeling tired and overwhelmed. I work full time and it doesn't feel like enough. I'm working towards a management position but that is at least a year away. I'll get some sort of raise in August but my health insurance is about to kick in, which will absorb most/half of said raise. I'm 32 and am basically starting life over for the umpteenth time. I'm just stressed and broke, y'all. I love you all and appreciate whatever you can do. I know it's rough out here for everyone. Thank you comrades!

I had to shuffle some money around last month and so now I'm late paying rent. I've got the rent covered and the late fees, so that's not a problem. But after that and another essential bill, I won't have two pennies to rub together. Any amount helps, just for food and some needed toiletries. Life has gotten kind of hectic with my girlfriend's health (nothing serious it seems, but has definitely disrupted her ability to work temporarily) and her kids, and it's put me a week+ behind again financially. Thank you comrades! CashApp: $sgriffith0891 PayPal: sgriffith0891 at geemail Venmo: @griff0891

Payday came. All good o7

Rent and bills all fell on this check and I'm falling short. If someone could spot me $40 it would be greatly appreciated. PayPal is sgriffith0891 @ Gmail. My CashApp is overdrawn so PayPal is preferred. Thank you!

I missed a couple days of work due to food poisoning so this check was tight. Bills are paid but I'm still living on tight margins. Could anyone spot me to pick up a few groceries and some shampoo and conditioner (my hair is about three feet long). Cash App is $sgriffith0891. Message/reply for other options. Thank you!

Edit: fulfilled by a personal friend. Go help someone else! Thank you friends. For anyone who's followed my posts at all - things are so, so much better. Thank you all for all your help. I'm full time now at 15 an hour, just at the end of a check. Please, if you see any more urgent posts, favor them. I'm just a hopeless nicotine addict who is $7 short of a vape. I get paid in ~18 hours. Could anyone spot me? I hope you're all well!

Hi all! Things are getting better but I'm at the end of my money and don't get paid till tomorrow. A little money for food till then would be grand. Thank you! CashApp sgriffith0891 Venmo griff0891 PayPal sgriffith0891 at gmail dot com

Well I made it 20 days without having to ask for help here, but it's that time again. I could just use a little bump for toilet paper and some food. I'm not going to make rent on the 1st but my apartment complex said they can give me until the 15th to pay without filing eviction paperwork. I'll have to pay late fees but that still helps. Looks like I'm getting my raise to 14 an hour starting next Saturday, I believe. And I've already been told I'll have 40 hours the week starting the 13th, as I'll be covering for someone. But for now I'm still behind and struggling. I appreciate all your help, my friends. ~$20 should do me for now. Edit: all taken care of! I hope you're all doing well!

Won't say where. But I saw one of you fuckers in public today. Trenchcoat with hammer and sickle patches, free Palestine shirt, long hair and shit kickers. I was preoccupied, but hi comrade!

Almost there comrades! I should be able to pay my rent all by myself come the New Year. In the meantime I am once again asking for your financial support. I don't need much or even a specific amount, just a bit for food and the like. I need some toothpaste, etc. You're all beautiful people. --- Fulfilled. Thank you comrade!

Hi everyone! First of all, anyone who responded to my job seeking post that I've not responded to, I'm sorry. Life has been crazy, mostly in a good way. My hard work is being recognized and I'm looking at a transfer to a new department around the New Year and already being I guess groomed (what's a better word that sucks less?) for a future assistant manager position in said department. So I've decided to pivot. I'm saying yes to anything that's legal and pays my bills and this is the path. Never thought this would be my path but I'll take them lifeline. I think I can get back to my old income within a year. All that said, none of that has shown in my bank account yet. I've secured money for rent and should be solid by January. For the moment though, could someone spot me 15 to pick up some bread and lunch meat after work? That's two loaves of bread (sale) and the sub kits from the store. It'll feed me til Tuesday when I get paid again. Thanks in advance, comrades. I'm almost clear and I'll be back to give others money! Edit: I'm all set. Spread the love, my friends!

Good attention grabber huh? Don't worry, I don't use it and I'm not trying to say I should. I recently hung out with my neighbors. They really wanted to smoke me out. I'm 32 living in what is essentially off campus student apartments. 4 bed 4 bath, etc. They're all Hispanic in this apartment (above me). 2 are from South America - I forget which country - and 2 are from South Florida. They throw around the N word, never pejoratively. As the only white guy in the room I'm not saying shit. Question is, is this okay? As a white guy idk. One of them also said the f slur for gay people and immediately apologized - 'sorry if that offended you '. That one I did tell him he knew it was wrong because he apologized immediately. I have a love always wins bracelet and a rainbow lanyard, very visible. I'm 10+ years older than these kids. I'm honestly trying to figure out if this is baked-in or if they're just dumb kids and maybe I can be a positive influence. If it's baked-in then I'll just peace out. I don't know the culture and don't want to judge from an uninformed perspective.

I don't mean to unnecessarily gender this discussion. Gender here doesn't matter. But I'm going to use gendered words as they fit the context. I want everyone's opinion. My dad died from bronchial cancer two days before my 12th birthday. I had to learn how to be a 'man' from my ill mother. What I want to know is, if you had to import some wisdom to preteen me, about the fundamentals of life, what would it be? I've barely learned to shave (and prefer a beard anyway). What can you teach me Hexbear? I'm 32 by the way. I'm just curious.
