Our PC crashed a few days ago, and it turns out to have been because our game drive stopped working abruptly.

What this means is we lost several days to troubleshooting and anxiety, and the entire contents of the game drive – we can download it all again, but not before we can replace the game drive with a new one, which we currently can't.

Besides that, it appears our PC is still experiencing issues that may or may not be related to its aging components; we have limited ability to test for this, don't have another stable PC we could use in the meantime, and are unlikely to be able to afford one in the near future, should it become necessary.

We've updated our Ko-Fi goal to 600€ from 500€, to be able to cover the cost of a new 2TB hard drive (~90€), in addition to what we already need to cover August and the remainder of July, which still lingers.

Boosts are greatly appreciated, if you can't donate :boostRequest:

hey #LosAngeles #SanFernandoValley #SFV #VanNuys, who is able-bodied and can come over and help me move this week? I'm just moving across the yard, it should be easy enough but my spouse and I are just too disabled. we at least offer our endless gratitude. #Crowdfund #Crowdfunding #Deaf #DeafCrowdfund #DirectGiving #Disabled #DisabledCrowdfund #FinancialAid #HelpFolksLive #HelpFolksLive2025 #July #Mazeldon #Moving #MovingFund #MutualAid #MutualAidNeeded #MutualAidRequest #Tzedakah

seriously three strong people in their 20s should be able to do most of the move necessary in one day. I'm basically begging at this point.

I've made a lot of progress in physical therapy the past two years but five minutes of standing in front of my desk trying to box it up? my heart rate's nearing 140 and my back is screaming at me.

if I go at the rate I am physically capable of, it will never get done.

I'd rather get help from strangers on here than from strangers on Craigslist or other service ads sites. historically bad luck at the latter. please share and tag anyone who might be able to help.

if not please help me with money so I can hire movers to come and do what we cannot. even moving just across a yard is expensive and I haven't yet done so because I want things to be ready but at some point it will be what it is.

UPDATE $235/$1000

I've updated our most recent big post but I just wanted to say here as well for mutual aid received to get us through July and August and pay my credit card bills and not use the credit cards.

thank you and let's keep the #MutualAid going! you're supporting two disabled, Jewish and Jewish-ish queer trans people living in Los Angeles, one of the most expensive cities to live in.

and no, we can't "just" move, before someone suggests that.

My sister-in-law who has been a friend for over 20 years has been battling #Leukemia for 5 years, and is now halfway across the country receiving #stemcell treatments.

The treatments themselves are covered by our national healthcare system and my brother's insurance, however, travel, lost wages, child care and other expenses are NOT covered and must come out of pocket.

Another optional but important aspect of OSES is the Open Source Education Community (OSEC) (also a placeholder name). The main purpose of this community is to be a place to enact what you've learned in OSES (walking the talk, practicing what you preach, etc.). Initially, the most common use will most likely be to find study and practice partners or groups (for example learning how to communicate by yourself is not nearly as effective as practicing it with other people).

Another aspect is the Asynchronous Exchange Network (AEN). This will provide a platform by which people can offer goods and services to other members of the community for free. Maybe you need help moving, or a haircut, or a specific, old computer part, help shopping, whatever. If you have a need, you can put it on the network and see if anyone is willing to help. And, if there is something that you want others on the network to know you are willing to help with, then you can put it on the AEN too. There will be some sort of review/rating system in order to help with trust.

There are potentially many other ways that OSEC can be used to benefit both its members and the rest of society just waiting to be developed as more people join.

Results of that food rescue route I mentioned! A lot of produce. Neighbors came and grabbed a lot of the veggies when it came in. I put the rest into the fridge for others to grab later.

This was one vendor on one night.

We throw away so much good food.

I'm going to go find more food.

Momentous Update on the Food Rescue Program!!!

We got our first food rescue!!!! Like official. In the app! Not an adhoc one. And it wasnt me who set this up! Another organizer got our first grocer. I put the route into the app and opened it up for volunteers.

And a community member picked it up!!!!!

We are rescuing food from a grocer and delivering to a free fridge!

Calling it: November 14th of last year (2024) - to now (June 10th 2025). 7 months from idea conception to a formal route / food rescue between a food seller and a food distributor. (With founding a mutual aid group, to growing it, to partnering with a national food rescue org - yay Food Rescue US! - to meeting with a grocer and connecting them to a free fridge all in between)

Now it's time to scale....

URGENT MUTUAL AID NEEDED!

quick intro: @inoru_no_hoshi and I are two Deaf, disabled, Jewish/Jewish-ish, neurodivergent/autistic/ADHD and unemployed queers in southern California.

it's super expensive living here and we receive no social welfare whatsoever.

spouse does a job training program, I do community college, and none of those make money out of thin air.

I'm currently unemployable, no driver's license, too much disability, etc.

we get $125/month from the sale of my car, and everything else comes from the kindness of others!

WE NEED MONEY FOR:

- cat food and cat litter. our cat Zoey thanks you. but seriously, this is how we're able to buy her wet food and something better than the house store brand kibble that even most of the outdoor cats won't touch.

- necessary professional clothing. uncharted territory etc, and it's definitely taken a tone up from what we'd previously been getting away with.

- food at the end of the month when our food stamps has run out.

- bills! the bills don't stop no matter what I do and we currently have anywhere from $150 to $500 in bills per month.

everything helps, from the smallest of donations to shares to large donations and anything in between.

THANK YOU!

MUTUAL AID NEEDED! read the impossible and then get down to the bottom for the immediate needs.

anyone feel like buying me a house for my #Birthday? joking not joking #MutualAid #MutualAidRequest. this would solve our housing insecurity and put us a lot closer to my in-laws, it's adorable, and it even comes with already having a craft shed. unfortunately I have no idea how we'd manage to have $3k/month let alone the $17k that would be needed for a 3.5% down payment without just having a very generous benefactor buy it for us.

five or so years back I was looking unseriously at Washington and a little more seriously at some other places and Washington wasn't nearly as expensive as it is now. real estate prices up there have exploded. zillow.com/homedetails/610-Mil

and even otherwise, please consider supporting us. we have a general need for about $500/month and I haven't been aggressively fundraising recently, so we're nowhere near meeting that goal.

this goes to cover bills and supplies that food stamps don't cover, such as cat food, cat litter, band-aids, school supplies, and the occasional nice thing for each other because poverty shouldn't have to equal deprivation and poor people deserve things like nice chocolate sometimes.

Update on my fixed dentures fundraising.
$869.09 CDN in donated funds received as of 7:53am on June 6th.
$2,330−$869.09 = $1,460.91
Total still needed: $1,460.91

If you can donate anything at all to help me pay for fixed dentures, please use my PayPal or e-transfer or Kofi:

*Kofi charges almost $5 fee for every $50 donation - they transfer funds over to PayPal*

Please boost, if you're unable to #donate to my fixed dentures #fundraiser. Thank you for any & all assistance 🙏

I'll be documenting the whole process of getting fixed dentures, afterwards, so folks can see what they helped to fund.

Sorry, I crashed out after dinner & doing my therapy homework yesterday & didn't wake up until 5am. I was super tired after a long & hard day. Slept very well 👍

Updating on my fixed dentures fundraising now.
$687.75 CDN in donated funds received as of 7:45am on June 4th.
I screwed up on the math earlier, sorry. I have recalculated with more accuracy.
$2,330−$687.75 = 1,642.25.
Total still needed: $1,642.25

Thank you to the kind & caring folks who donated today to help me pay for fixed #dentures ❤️💖❤️

I have received $331.55 CDN in donated funds today.

I am very grateful to everyone who helped! I'm still quite far from my #fundraising goal so please keep boosting my #MutualAid post above to assist me on obtaining enough funds to pay for the new dentures.

Total still needed: $1,998.45

Photos/videos to follow on how your donations helped me. I will update from the denturist chair, once I raise enough funds to book my fixed dentures appointment.

*Edit - Please try to use PayPal direct or e-transfers because Kofi takes about $5 from every $50 donation for their 'processing fees' - which is kinda shit.

I'm back from the denturist. He said my gums are getting damaged by the current immediate dentures & obtaining fixed ones would help with that & with eating more foods. The fixed dentures aren't as expensive as immediates were but they are still costly & not covered by my pharmacare. I am a disabled death doula/death care aide, working on independent contracts basis & have no additional health insurance coverage. I was slowly saving up for fixed dentures but had to use the $260 saved for unexpected medical costs for me & Mom's recent downturns in health last month.

These are the costs I was quoted today, for getting full set of fixed dentures made with the related costs that I'm #fundraising for:

X-rays, casting & full fixed dentures set - $1650
4 relines for any adjustments needed after - $680
$331.55 CDN in donated funds received as of 5:40pm on June 2nd.
Total still needed: $1,998.45
