[makes lemonade]

Hey, y'all, I'm broke! Life sucks! I've been given lemons! But I'm making lemonade and making this my lemonade stand!

🇺🇸 The American dollar is currently worth a bit over five times my currency. 🇬🇧 The Pound sterling is currently worth almost seven times my currency. 🇪🇺 The Euro is currently worth almost six times my currency.

What's pocket change for you guys in the global north could buy my next meal (which I currently can't afford) here in my third world country.

Hussan, @hooasm287 is a father of five children that needs all the help he can get for himself, his wife and especially his youngest child, who is less than a year old. Getting her milk is one of his biggest priorities right now.

His campaign can be found here.

In regards to vetting, he has been in contact with @gazavetters, but is awaiting a response from them. Proof of contact and tagging after the cut.

update: 5%!!!

I've been working as a frontline social worker serving people experiencing homelessness and at-risk youth for seven years. During that time, I've never taken more than a week off work, even when I was hospitalized with Type 1 diabetes.

Right now, I'm struggling in ways that I haven't before. I'm struggling to accomplish work tasks, to empathize with my clients, and to show up every day to be a support. I am exhausted, experiencing severe burnout. My clients are vulnerable people, often other trans people, and I simply can't provide them the care they deserve while I'm in this state.

I've taken emergency mental health leave to address burnout, suicidal ideation, and substance use. My state's paid leave program is a wonderful resource, but payments can take time, as long as a month from today when I file. Until then, I'm worried about covering rent, groceries, and other basic expenses.

I don't want to return to full-service sex work to bridge that gap. It has been traumatic for me, and doing so again would mean putting myself back into situations I've worked hard to leave behind.

If you're able to help, your support will help me keep a roof over my head, buy groceries, and give me the time to recover without having to earn money in ways that are painful or dangerous for me.
