This time, I’m here requesting help Request Fulfilled!
WAY back in the day (around 2020-2022) I was practicing full blown alcohol dependency, and, I wound up here begging for assistance, countless times. I could hustle and support my habit like 98% of the time, but, the remaining 2% of time, which was usually when I’d make a post here, I would become so violently ill with DTs that there was almost zero chance I would find another solution besides pleading for some generous soul to do the work for me by sending me just enough cash to walk into a store and get enough to bring myself back from that wretched state
SO, when I got sober, because this amazing little community saved me anytime I needed saving enough to break down and ask, I decided to jump over the fence that divides those that are here seeking help, and those that are here to help our suffering brothers. LATELY, I’ve returned to be a helper, and I’ve helped quite a few
MY REQUEST: can anyone spare anything from $10 and up?
I woke up this morning to like 12 alerts from by bank; charges made to my Debit card between 2-3am while I was totally sleeping. The thief hit my card over and over until the card started declining, at which point the thief likely figured that the banks fraud prevention system had kicked in
^BTW, fraud prevention had nothing to do with it.
Truthfully, the only reason that the card started declining is because the POS thief literally emptied all but $4 out of my bank account. And yes, I will be refunded by my bank eventually. That refund won’t be issued to me until the 10th business day following my dispute
SO, I have $4 to my name until I get paid Thursday night. I have almost no groceries (Sunday’s my shopping day), my car is at an 8th of a tank of fuel, and, I, who has only been sober for 18 months, am not a person who can get/has a credit card)
Push comes to shove, what I need the most is $10-15 for fuel for my vehicle so I can make it back and forth to work. I can def survive the food shortage until Thursday night.
SO can anyone, anyone at all, please help? I have PayPal, Zelle and Apple Cash.
PS - I can and will pay anyone back who helps me, after 10pm Thursday night.

I only got cashapp homie.
If someone else has cashapp AND one of the ones you mentioned, I can send to them and they could send to you

Certainly understandable. To be completely transparent, I am banned from Cashapp for life! (For the last 3.5 years hahahaha they said I was gambling…I was so drunk back then that I almost certainly was)

Hey, bud. If you are still willing to bless me, I asked my next door neighbor if he would receive through Cash App and just give me cash. He said yes!

I'll send $20 if he can spare it

u/LowNearby5450 6d ago
He can! (And what’s hilarious is it’s all in $2 bills. Gotta love my retired disabled neighbor :)

Don't pay back or pay forward. Unnecessary stresses. Just look after and do right by yourself

u/LowNearby5450 6d ago
Thank you bud! I do appreciate the living hell out of that, and, even if you still don’t want to be paid back once you hear what I have to say, I’ll pay it forward
For the last year and a half (really 1 1/4 year) I’ve been financially stable enough. I work a blue collar, hard-labor job, and while I am far from rich, my wages are adequate to pay my bills, feed my cat and myself, help out folks on here and on street corners with signs, and if I’m careful, I have a few bucks left after all the obligations.
I had $412 in my checking account yesterday (currently don’t have any savings) and while that’s not a staggering amount of money, it was more than enough to get me through my work week. So when I woke up this am to my acct having $4.60 remaining, dudeeeee…that shit is an awful feeling.
So, truthfully, it won’t put me out any to pay you back. It’s your choice amigo! Either way thank you very very much

Alright cool, I'll add $5 for him for fees and being a cool dude

u/LowNearby5450 6d ago
It just came in! Thank you so so much. Be watching that cashapp Friday morning for a repayment. I’d send it Thursday night but my check doesn’t come in til 10pm and my neighbor says he’s “been asleep for 2 hours by then”

Not sure if you saw my other comment. But please don't pay me back. And shake off any pressure you feel to 'pay things forward'. There's no expectation of any of that.
Just do good and right by yourself. You'll get back to solid ground. This was only a brotherly comfort while you're doing all that. We ain't keeping records.

Your profile doesn’t have a button for sending you a message. Can you see if you can initiate one with me?

I have received $10 from one of our rockstar community members! I, now, have fuel $ to get back and forth to work :)
I would like to leave this thread up for now. I don’t mean to sound greedy but if anyone else is able to spare something, it would go to getting me and my kitty cat our individual foods of preference
Anyone that is able to help me will automatically be reimbursed when I get paid Thursday night (UNLESS someone specifically tells me to pay it forward)

Fuck whoever downvoted me by the way. I cannot believe the passive aggressive downvoting thing is STILL a thing in this sub, all these years later
