HelpSky mutual‑aid posts request urgent housing and medical aid

cultureAug 31, 202622229

The HelpSky mutual-aid thread is circulating urgent fundraisers for immediate housing, food and medical needs, including requests for gender-affirming care. Organizer Amelia Parsons is explicitly fundraising for bottom surgery. Individual requests in the thread include a renter facing eviction who says they would have to return to Texas unless rent is paid, listing rent at 460/3500; a motel bill of 154 due by 11 AM ET; a household seeking $250 for a child’s special diet and a broader $750 food goal; a caller asking for about $300 to cover imminent bills; and a fundraiser with $900 remaining and two days left to meet its target. Posters describe using emergency motel stays, relying on PayPal/Cash App/Venmo links, and tapping short-term donations to cover meds, utilities and surgery recovery costs. Several posts note paused work or reduced hours, stalled benefits, or medical recovery as the immediate cause of the shortfalls, and some request shares or reposts to spread the fundraisers.

Ok, I can barely walk. I don’t think it’s possible to even do the bus stop. Meaning Ubers. I can’t put off meds longer. I will get sick. But can’t risk losing hotel or not eating too. Even the bus costs money. Literally even a few dollars to help goes a long way. Please.

Every-time I’m forced to beg for my life because of stalls - I’m reminded it’s getting worse and continues to. I’ve said it’s traumatizing it’s killing me. But keeps happening. No other options and only plans are waiting lists and ending it if it keeps worsening. The last only real comfort

Day got worse: They’re holding up my meds. My doctor has to prior approve, and the pharmacy won’t just let me after 12am if not. I don’t have enough meds for today - or tomorrow If approved, it might be too late for bus. If not, I’ll be in withdrawal without pain management until tomorrow. Pls help

I’ve been willing to show receipts. Take gift cards. Hear out legitimate resources. Open to receiving essentials with address . But since some people lied about mutual aid, myself and other needy people get punished for it. Scrutinized. Criticized. Harassed. Forced to go without, starve, maybe die.

Please at least help me get enough for uber. My joints are swollen and k can’t barely get to the bathroom. Let alone walk to get my meds. I can’t wait any longer

I can’t even type today I’m so rattled. The weekend terrified me being left with nothing to eat, and no funds to get it until begging for my life. I have ptsd. This is triggering me and reminding me of being ignored and starving. Now I’m begging just to get my meds, and stay housed and fed.

I’m not doing well. I can’t focus risking focusing on anything but MA on this site without rising stalls. I can’t focus on disability and getting org help always doing this. And it’s physically and mentally killing me with constant begging. I just wanted to pick up meds today.

Sorry for all the typos - it’s been a really bad day. Please help me raise enough to uber out for meds, while staying housed and fed.

I’m seeing other disabled people with no safety nets going hungry and risking their safety unhoused. People just watch. More health crisis will happen between stress and going hungry. People will start dying. people will just watch Without options forced to this fate. I don’t want to keep trying
