our air conditioner is out during the florida heatwave

Hi so I am genuinely about to lose my mind. Our air conditioner just broke after the heat wave reached 113 degrees today and the temperature in our house is actively rising while the sun isn’t even out right now. our best guess is that some part of the outdoor portion of the unit went out. we are under an extreme heat warning for the next week at least

my partner and i are both chronically ill and on medication that significantly increases our heat sensitivity. we have three cats and no insulation in part of the house, once the sun comes up tomorrow it will be hot as fuck. i work from home for 50% of the week, and our car already doesnt have AC so now we are facing having absolutely nowhere of our own to get respite from the heat.

our home has an appliance warranty but they can only get a technician out here within 48 hours, and it’ll cost $100 minimum. the work is not guaranteed to be finished at that time; the only guarantee is the initial diagnostic visit. If the work needed is extensive, it might cost more. In the meantime we urgently need to get at least one window AC unit which during the summer is going to cost multiple hundreds of dollars.

we hate asking this when we know so many are struggling too, but time is of the essence for this and it can quickly become dangerous. we just don’t have the means to fix it ourselves right now, especially between paychecks and especially while also paying the elevated power bill that’s resulted from the heatwave already. we already struggle to afford bills and groceries each month, we wouldn’t ask if it weren’t a desperate situation. our savings is unspeakably meager and our debt is embarrassingly high

This is NOT mandatory, and of course there are causes that need much more help. So don't feel pressured! But if you happen to have a little to spare, I am getting tooth surgery this Friday and they charged me 2k upfront 😭 and then when I asked if it could be split, they told me I ran the risk of my jaw shifting if so 😭 but I have been in pain with these back molars for months and I've been stalling to pay for other things, so... I gotta just take the L but. Anything helps 🙏🏾 Much appreciated if you do 🙏🏾

when i asked whether their autistic classmate's meltdown was dangerous or merely uncomfortable, they said, "i felt like i was in danger!"

yes you should, actually. that's life. upsetting things happen. no one should have to experience any discomfort. but we do. we get stung by bees and sunburns and headaches. we live in bodies in the world.

autistic people are human beings who have the right to exist in society, including during meltdowns. having one class of your entire semester interrupted by a singular meltdown is not anymore of an infringement upon your entitlement to education than having your class interrupted by a fire alarm or cancelled for a snow storm.

one of my peers once experienced a cardiac event 10 minutes into class. it was terrifying. it was desperately upsetting. i was contacted by the school and offered counseling afterward because i happened to be the one who managed the situation until paramedics arrived. no one should have to experience their classmate being hauled off in an ambulance, but it happens. everyone was worried about my classmate first and foremost, and then about me. no one blamed anyone, and certainly when my classmate happily recovered and returned to school, no one thought they should be removed from the program.
