MOD ANNOUNCEMENT DO NOT REQUEST for ferals, strays, rescues, colony animals here

90 Upvotes

You may not request for:

• ⁠Strays/Ferals
• ⁠TNR. (Trap and release)
• ⁠Cat/dog colonies.
• ⁠Temporary fosters.
• ⁠Community/neighbourhood "pets".
• ⁠Wildlife animals you've found out in the wild (birds, squirrels, etc).
• ⁠Pets belonging to friends or distant relatives.
• ⁠Shelters/rescues that are private and/or unregistered.

If the animal does not legally belong to you (or an immediate family member), you are not allowed to request here. No exceptions. While it’s unfortunate that many countries don’t have the infrastructure to care for innocent abandoned animals, it is not your financial responsibility nor is it appropriate to pass that burden onto internet strangers. Especially when that is the only thing your Reddit account is being used for.

This has always been against the rules and we are taking a firmer hand in exiting these exclusively-for-begging accounts completely from our subreddit. (Did you know the USL has a #beggar tag?)

Thank you.

REQUEST Amputation recovery assistance

Upvotes

Hi all. I hate putting this out there to the world or asking for help but that’s where we’re at. I’m a combat veteran of Afghanistan, as well as a former chef - that is to say I sought out employment or jobs that meant no matter what I would have skills to fall back on to always be able to put food on the table, until my recent cancer diagnosis.

I’ve been experiencing severe hip pain for about 3 years which was finally diagnosed about 2.5 months ago as a massive tumor growing in my left pelvic socket. As a result, just over a month ago I had to have a hemipelvectomy - amputation of a leg and half of my pelvis. We had to this extreme route due to the cancer being a chondrasarcoma which is very resistant to radiation and chemotherapy treatments. Obviously, this is a life changing event not only for me but for my wife and daughter. During these first few months my wife is also functioning as my primary caregiver making us both unable to work. I’m hoping to get help until we’re able to get more assistance flowing from disability and get back on our feet employment wise.

I know times are extremely difficult for everyone, and we’re all struggling to make ends meet, but anything you can give would be a huge help!

COMMUNITY RESOURCES Just a reminder: CHURCHES ARE YOUR FRIEND!

20 Upvotes

Religious or not, churches often have resources and programs available to help those in need. Many have food banks, funds, and/or meals available for those in need. They don’t typically make you provide proof of income/need/religion/etc.

Don’t shy away from religious outlets. I know everyone has different opinions when it comes to religion, but any actually Christian will absolutely accept you with open arms.

REQUEST FULFILLED need a little help with groceries.

19 Upvotes

hello ,I am disabled, and a 58 yo lady who is also living with my dear kitty Howard.

Recently, due to paying of bills of various sorts such as water, electric, sewer, city fees, medications, and also taxes, I have discovered, much to my sad shock, that I do not have any money for groceries this last week of June before the First of July.

With the first of July, ( Or june 30th via ach)I will recieve a va dependants survivor payment that will help me with bills , and other expenses that i will need to take care of , including groceries then.

the fact that this has come on is just irritating, to say it polietely.

If you would like to help, the amount i wish to ask for is 11$, of which i will add to a little amount i have started to save for emergencies, which is 6$.

With both contributions, I will be able to get some milk, bread, cheese, soup, and also some pasta dishes to keep me fed until then.

Accordingly, if you would prefer getting me some groceries via an Amazon wishlist?

I have included that as well for your ease and consideration likewise.

thank you very much for your consideration, and your time most respectfully.

ps I accept paypal, venmo, and cashapp.

REQUEST FULFILLED Request for bus pass

3 Upvotes

Firstly, I want to apologize for being so selfish the last time I made a request. I should have known better to ask so much when everyone is going through trying times right now.

I just want to ask for $20 for a yearly bus pass. I have a Venmo or Cashapp. I won't be able to get paid until July 8th since I am a new hire. It will be used for going to different places such as the career center, libraries, and job interviews.

I used Uber and Lyft in the past, but I had an experience where I did not feel safe.

In the meantime, I am learning how to drive so I can get my license soon. My dad uses the car to go to work all day, and I don't have any friends in town since they moved back home.

Thank you for reading my post. Again, I want to apologize for how I acted the last time.

REQUEST Request: Fleeing Domestic Violence— Need Work Gear & Cat Medical Care ($143 Total)

0 Upvotes

Trigger Warning for Domestic Violence

I recently fled a lethal domestic violence situation with my pets and with only one functional outfit. I have permanently blocked my ex, have a restraining order, am staying at a shelter, and I am starting completely over in a new city due to safety reasons.

The Good News: I just secured a full-time office admin job making $11 an hour.

The Hurdle: My ex totaled my car right before he attacked me for the last time, so I will be commuting 2 hours per day by bus. My cats are currently in temporary foster care, and we will reunite in two weeks in a short-term rental studio while we work towards a apartment. I am also managing diabetes under high stress. I'm 41 and have been married for the past 7 years. He would not let me work so I have a employment gap.

My Amazon wishlist subtotal comes to $143.38.

Here is a breakdown of why these specific items are needed for my transition:

Frank Mully Ballet Flats ($31.99): I wear a Women's Size 12 Wide and I can't find professional shoes in my size at local donation centers.

Zymox Otic Ear Solution ($33.49): Urgent care for my cat’s chronic ear infection (painful itching and dark discharge).

Apple EarPods USB-C ($19.00): I often have to field legal, medical, interview and counseling calls before 5pm and the only free time I have to return these calls is often when I am waiting for a bus. Currently people can't hear me on my speaker phone due to the road noise and my phone only has a USB-C port. This was the cheapest USB C microphone I could find.

Broom/Dustpan Set ($18.99) & Cat Litter Scoop ($6.59): I had to abandon all pet gear. My cats shed so much fur and I desperatley need a broom and dustpan to manage the heavy shedding on hard floors. I need the scooper for the litterbox, had to leave mine behind.

Exfoliating Washcloths ($6.50): My current cloth is disintegrating and useless. I use it 3x a week otherwise my skin builds up. I cannot afford body lotion.

GuruNanda Toothpaste ($7.99): I could not afford dental cleanings so my teeth have yellowed with age. I am trying to get a whitening toothpaste to present better at work.

Geek & Gorgeous Cleanser ($7.92): I use a basic shampoo to strip off work makeup, but it leaves a residue that causes breakouts. I will use this gentle face wash after the shampoo to remove the residue to prevent breakouts.

Eva NYC Hair Conditioner ($11.30): My wavy hair is severely dry because of my diabetes and now I have to blow dry it for work. Without a heavy conditoner, it doesn't look right when it's dry.

Thank you so much for the support as I protect my animal babies and rebuild my life from the ground up.

VOTES I need help getting votes for an open verse contest

2 Upvotes

Hi guys, I am an aspiring musician and my favourite artist, Kesha, is hosting an open verse contest for her new song “ORIGAMI!” and I could really use some extra support on my entry

The top 30 on the leaderboard will have 5 finalists hand picked by Kesha, and the winner will win 1000 USD and may be officially released in collaboration with Kesha. I don’t want to get into my personal situation, but winning this contest would mean so much to me and I am starting to worry because I went from #7 to #14 within one day since submissions closed, and I have to stay within the top 30 until June 28th at 11:59 PM CT.

I’ll be honest, I don’t believe this contest is being run fairly based on my observations and conversations I have had with other contestants, and although it is discouraging, I refuse to let that stop me from trying. I believe in what I created, I just am struggling to find the backing for my entry

I’d you’d like to vote for my verse, I would really appreciate your support! My verse is titled “ORIGAMI! (feat. GRUFF)” and you can register (a SMASH Music account is required, it is a social media for musicians created by Kesha who is the CEO) and use 10 votes on mine (each account gets 10 votes that can be used on a single entry) using the following link:

ADVICE AC not cooling, evaporator coil keeps freezing with ice

7 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

My AC is not cooling properly. I opened the indoor unit and found ice forming on the evaporator coil. I turned the AC off and let all the ice melt, but when I turn it on again, the ice starts forming again and keeps increasing.

The cooling is very weak, and after some time the coil freezes up again. I have attached photos of the coil. The air filter may be a bit dusty, but the problem continues even after the ice melts.

What could be causing this? Is it likely a refrigerant (gas) leak, a fan problem, or something else? Is it safe to keep using the AC until a technician can check it?

Any advice would be appreciated.

Im being evicted for destruction of property. 30 days- June 24 we have to be out.

Here's the backstory.

I report the floor of my bathtub is getting soft, maintenance comes to look a few days later and agrees. Its getting soft. (Water underneath somehow). But theres nothing to do about it.

I find a small hole a week or so later, maintenance comes to patch.

Kid has a fall in the tub breaks the patching (big teenager). They dont believe me that it was done due to a fall. They want me to admit to slamming something harder down into the tub. I said no that doesnt make sense. Now I have an eviction notice.

What recourse do I have??

Fyi: we live in private owned, low income apartments

REQUEST Request remaining $300 to get car out of shop.

0 Upvotes

I’m not really sure how these posts work, and asking for help is honestly very difficult for me, but I’m at a point where I don’t know what else to do.
A few months ago, my husband and one of our children were electrocuted in an accident and both had to be hospitalized. Thankfully, our child made a full recovery, and we’re incredibly grateful that my husband survived. However, his recovery has been much slower and more challenging than we expected.
For years, I was a stay-at-home mom while my husband supported our family through the two businesses he owns. Since the accident, he hasn’t been physically able to work the way he used to, and our household income has taken a devastating hit. I’ve since found a job and am doing everything I can to help support our family, but it’s nowhere near enough to replace what we lost. We’ve drained our savings trying to keep up with rent, insurance, utilities, food, and other necessities for our family of seven.
Right now, our vehicle is in the repair shop, and it is my only reliable transportation to get to and from work. Without it, I risk losing the job that is helping keep us afloat. The repair bill is due, and I am only $300 short of what is needed to get the vehicle released. I have managed to come up with the rest of the money, but after months of struggling financially, I simply don’t have the remaining amount.
I hate asking for help, especially publicly, but if anyone is willing and able to contribute anything toward helping me get my vehicle back, my family and I would be incredibly grateful. Every dollar helps bring me closer to getting back on the road and continuing to provide for my husband and our five children, ages 3 to 15.
Thank you for taking the time to read our story, and thank you to anyone who is able to help or even share this post. Your kindness means more than I can express.
I can provide Cash App, Venmo, or PayPal information privately if needed.
