Thank you so much to those who came through. I just need another £60 to meet my target so I don't have to keep reposting this again and again throughout the year. Well, I will try here just once more for now.

Repost:

I need to use medical-grade laundry disinfectant because I'm an immunocompromised cancer patient and recovering from surgery. I get a lot of infections, especially skin infections. On multiple occasions the skin infections have gotten so bad I've been hospitalised to treat them. The pharmacist recommended I use this laundry disinfectant and it's helped a lot.

I've posted a lot about my financial issues and why I can't afford to buy things for myself. I'm still waiting to find out about my disability benefits.

The disinfectant bottles are now £10.59 each. I need to order 4 to get free delivery. Either that or pay an extra £3.30 for postage. I need 2 bottles of this a month. According to the latest letter I received from the DWP, my appeal is expected to be heard in January. So I will need 14 bottles to see me through until then. If you can contribute to the cost, my paypal is the_mighty_tabs@hotmail.co.uk

If you're able to help via paypal please write in the message box that it's a gift, so I can prove to the DWP (British benefit Nazis) that it's not payment for working or selling.

Karim… a ten-year-old boy who has endured too much pain

I am Karim’s mother, a mother of three children. I used to believe I could protect them from fear, from hunger, from war… but the war in Gaza shattered everything.

Karim, my son, is ten years old. In one horrifying moment, he lost his leg in a bombing that made no distinction between a child and a fighter. Since then, our lives have been turned upside down. He no longer plays, no longer runs, and the laughter that once filled our home has faded. Every day, he cries from the pain. Every night, he sobs himself to sleep.

We lived under fire for months. We were displaced over and over. We were drained—by fear, hunger, and the constant noise of bombs. We lost our home. I lost my job. We lost family and friends. Karim lost his beloved teachers and many of the children he once played with.

Now we are trying to survive amid destruction, to heal with no resources, and to care for our children with empty hands.

Karim needs more surgeries as he grows. He needs prosthetic limbs that must be replaced regularly. He needs special care. And I try to be everything for him. My husband Fadi and I do all we can to bring light back into his life—and the lives of his siblings, who also need school, warmth, and stability.

We are not asking for the impossible—just a chance to live with dignity. To rebuild. To give Karim a piece of the childhood that was taken from him.

If you cannot donate, please share our story. Your share could reach a heart that can help. And that simple act might become the greatest gift you give—a lifeline to a child who just wants to live.

And forgive me if I repeat our story again and again… the wound is still open, and we still need someone to listen.

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.

Please if you can spare anything, Thank you! I will raise another goal when it is completed.

Hi friends and kind souls ... I’m reaching out once more with love and urgency. Thank you so much to those who have already donated, shared, or held space for me and my sisters. Your support has carried us through more than you know. So far, we’ve been able to raise $255, which gives us a bit of hope to hold onto.

But the truth is… we’re still $945 away from what we need to stay safe these next 2 months. That money isn’t for extras .. it’s for survival.

After being displaced from Gorom camp, hundreds of queer refugees, including us, were dumped in Juba with zero support. UNHCR told us to “blend in” but that doesn’t work when you’re visibly trans in a place where your identity puts a target on your back.

Here’s why we’re asking for $1,200:

Rent – $600 for two months of shelter for 4 trans sisters

Food + Water – $300 to keep us fed and hydrated

Hygiene – $150 for soap, pads, toothpaste & communal care

Emergency transport – $100 in case we’re in danger or need to access care

Data/Airtime – $50 to stay online & ask for help when needed

This is mutual aid, not charity. It’s community looking out for each other when systems fail us. We’re doing all we can, but donations have slowed down. If you’ve been meaning to help or reshare, this is the moment. Please check the comments for the donation link and help however you can even a share makes a huge difference.

I live in my car with two friends of mine, whom I let stay with me after they got kicked out of their shelter. I love them and I’m never going to kick them out, but they’re making me so miserable. So I’m trying to get a motel room for at least a night.

I made a post asking someone to send me some laundry disinfectant. I need it because I'm an immunocompromised cancer patient and recovering from surgery. I get a lot of infections, especially skin infections. On multiple occasions the skin infections have gotten so bad I've been hospitalised to treat them. The pharmacist recommended I use this laundry disinfectant and it's helped a lot.

I haven't had any responses, maybe people find it too difficult to order it. The reason I prefer people to end me things instead of money is because if I win my disability benefit appeal I will have to explain any money going into my account to the DWP. But I am really getting desperate for this stuff. Perhaps someone would be more likely to respond if I put my paypal address after all.

The disinfectant bottles are now £10.59 each. I need to order 4 to get free delivery. Either that or pay an extra £3.30 for postage. If you are able to order and send them to me, please PM me. If not but you can contribute to the cost, my paypal is the_mighty_tabs@hotmail.co.uk

If you're able to help via paypal please write in the message box that it's a gift, so I can prove to the DWP that it's not payment for working or selling.

I normally need 2 bottles of this a month. According to the latest letter I received from the DWP, my appeal is expected to be heard in January. So I will need 14 bottles to see me through until then. Any help is appreciated, whether it's ordering and sending them to me or contributing to the cost.

As the title says.

To keep my story brief my mother died in a workplace related incident (or so I am told) and my rent was being paid by my mom so I ended up homeless. I don’t blame anyone but myself though, I should have had a backup plan or got a part time job to save up for this exact scenario.

And the rest of my extended family won’t take me in because they know I’m atheist. Even recanting my lack of faith didn’t work so I kinda screwed myself there.

I’ve been looking for jobs ever since. I had actually managed to attain one but I got fired because I couldn’t find a suitable place to work (you can read my post history for more info but the shelter i was staying at couldn’t allow me to use their internet).

I’m asking for $50 CAD to cover food expenses for the month. There’s a place to prepare food from the shelter and I can supplement with whatever I find dumpster diving.

I have an interview this week so wish me luck

I am also open to non monetary forms of assistance. I just want food.

Thank you.

I hate sober living oh so much. I have a house meeting I have to go to every Sunday that's too time sensitive to take public transit to (we don't have busses here, we have ride sharing) so I have to take an Uber. I spent my money from this check on rent and groceries, so I'm broke for the week. This is fine, I'll live, I don't really need money for anything else other than getting to this fucking house meeting that I shouldn't even have to go to.

I'm immunocompromised due to being a cancer patient, and need to keep my feet clean as they heal from surgery. I get a lot of infections due to this and have been advised by my pharmacist to always wash my laundry in this disinfectant. It really helps a lot, but it's not available on the NHS, I have to buy it myself. Because I'm still waiting to hear about my disability benefits, I'm not able to pay for it. If anyone is willing to order some of this and send it to me, please PM me.
