hi, hoping to connect with kansas city aid networks!

From the bottom of my heart thank you to the kind hearted angels that helped me and my family with heating items. I can not thank you all enough. My children are super excited about the electric blanket received as we have never owned one before. We have now put a heater in the bathroom and the other one in the hallway to warm two open rooms. This means so much to us! Thank you, thank you 🙏🏻

Hello! I am looking for bulk recipe ideas that are high in protein and relatively easy to make. I volunteer at a mutual aid group and am in charge of the menu this month. Any help is so appreciated.

(Trying to avoid soup due to spillage)

Hello, I am requesting help with heating items to warm my home during the winter as my heating furnace is broken and I do not have the funds to have it repaired. Currently my 5 children and I are staying warm with fire stove and wood donated by a wonderful local family and 1 space heater. I have attached an Amazon list. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance🙏🏻

We open tomorrow, January 15, 2025. We are not seeking input or feedback on our rules at this time. Please direct any questions about the application process to modmail. Modmail that offers input, feedback, or criticism will result in a permanent ban. We anticipate rule changes as the subreddit evolves and as we gain more experience with this user base. This is our best, good faith effort at trying to help people in need, while protecting those who are willing to help them. We will consider feedback at a later date.

Our rules and application instructions are located in our https://www.reddit.com/r/MutualAid/wiki/index/. We are copying and pasting that text to this stickied post for ease of access.

DONORS/HELPERS: Please note that approved users are vetted in a very basic manner. We are only verifying their names and addresses. We will also do a very basic search of their reddit post/comment history. We will permanently ban anyone caught being dishonest or scamming.

You do not need to complete any registration to help an approved user on MutualAid. If you would like to make an offer, please send us a modmail. We also ask that you notify us of anyone selected for your offer, either in modmail, or in the post itself. Please make sure your offer has a close date. Thank you so much for your consideration in helping your fellow Redditors. Also, please modmail us if you have any concerns about an approved requester.

No bullying, hateful language, or disrespectful language will be tolerated from anyone. This includes on posts and in modmail.

Comment below if you need to book a Greyhound bus trip between now and December 29 of 2025. I have two vouchers worth $62.99.

Mutual Aid will be open for registrations on January 15, 2025.

Anyone who posts a request without being approved (via modmail) will be permanently banned.

To apply to become an approved, registered user of MutualAid, you must do the following:

2. Send an email to mutualaidreddit@gmail.com, that includes:

Proof of your Identity, with all sensitive information redacted.

Please explain what you are offering, if anything, in return for the assistance you seek. It must be legal, ethical and reasonable. While this is not required, it is in the spirit of mutual aid, and is strongly encouraged.

All approvals and post requests are entirely at the discretion of the mod team.

Please note that you do not have to submit any sort of registration to gift/assist others.

I resigned from my position just before Thanksgiving, applied for Medicaid insurance, and cancelled my previous Marketplace insurance (BCBS Florida Blue HMO) in favor of Sunshine.

Of course I still have leftover money in my savings to pay my rent, but after that - nothing but $50 a week from Shiftsmart. I guesstimated that the most I would make next year would be around $22,0000 if I find a job that doesn't pay as well as the one I just had for the past 7 years.

The notification on MyBenefits.gov says "proove income*. They also want a bank statement. As of now they say I don't qualify.

I'm paying my rent this week, so...I'll get a printout from the bank once it's emptied.

Is there anything else I can do? Call? Adjust my expected income? How do I proove that I don't have a job?

What else can I do? I'm a bit confused. Thanks.

Hi everyone! As we all know, this sub has been problematic for a while, as it was left largely unmoderated. Backpackwayne was kind enough to leave the sub to me, as I volunteered to do my best to clean things up and make this a place where Redditors can mutually help each other.

For now, and for the near future, absolutely no financial aid requests can be made. This would include any sort of donation, wishlist, or gift cards. If you need help with essentials, I'd recommend r/EssentialsOnly.

Further, all posts will require mod approval. Please submit what you'd like to post to modmail and we will review as soon as possible. If what you are requesting costs a penny or more, you may not submit it for consideration. If you do so, you will be banned.

I am working on putting together a mod team and coming up with ways to make this a much safer place for everyone. Harassment and bullying will not be tolerated, nor will any scamming.

I’d like to participation mutual aid more and I’ve been struggling to find an outlet that fits me. I don’t have the finances to give money consistently, but I have yarn. I also know a blanket or hat made with love just for them can make even more of a difference than the money it’s saving the person.

Examples:

• lost items in a disaster
• are pregnant and money is tight
• are moving out with no support
• need to stay warm this winter
• can’t afford holiday gifts

Hi there, My friend is a Black Trans Disabled Artist that is losing their housing this week. They've experienced a lot of housing insecurities of the past several years and recently moved to the area hoping for a fresh start. Unfortunately due to negligent landlord behaviors they have to abandon their lease and most of their things. They're searching for funds for housing and for a lawyer to pursue damages from the landlord's negligence. They have an adorable dog they're trying to keep too. They don't have any support networks to fall back on.

If anyone, Please, has any leads I would love to follow them up. Peace and blessings to you all.

I turned my house into a drop-off location for neighbors and collected a minivan's worth of supplies in five hours. An outstanding effort from dozens of people, including kids from the nearby elementary school. Didn't have time to catalog everything, but it was thousands of dollars of supplies, from heavy duty totes and waders to baby food and bleach.

I took those supplies to the Raleigh United Mutual Aid Hub in downtown Raleigh. RUMAH is going to have regular donation times posted on their calendar for drop-offs at The Hub on Hillsborough Street. Look at the Google Calendar on this page: https://www.raleighmutualaid.info/hub.html. This first batch of supplies will go to the Boone area...one of many devastated. Asheville is going to get the headlines but there are SO MANY NEEDS.

Triangle Mutual Aid will be making updates about disaster relief efforts here.: https://www.patreon.com/trianglemutualaid/posts. Triangle Mutual Aid is a collaborator with Mutual Aid Disaster Relief who is posting regularly about needed items on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/p/DAeI-lmS0sN/?img_index=1

IF YOU KNOW PILOTS WITH PLANES!! Looks like Day One Relief is gearing up to start flying donations out of RDU and looking for volunteers. https://www.facebook.com/DayOneRelief/ During Florence they had a drop-off site at RDU and that was probably the most effective way to get donations rapidly all over the state. Operation Air Drop will be operating out of Concord starting tomorrow morning. https://www.operation-airdrop.com/

Mutual aid was absolutely critical for the Hurricane Florence relief effort, and the networks we have today are hopefully still strong since that work! https://spectrumlocalnews.com/nc/charlotte/news/2018/09/19/pilots-nationwide-head-to-nc-to-help-florence-victims

This is going to be a Katrina-level disaster with months and years of repair work, some communities never to return.

I just had to pay $65 for a parking ticket because my city fricken sucks & I have the memory of a broken USB Drive.

Can I perchance get some.help? I'm unemployed and can't get a job for the life of me.

Hello friends. I have a situation and really need help. About a week or so ago. I posted needing Steel Toe boots for a job but never got the help so I lost the opportunity, the only people who reached out all tried to scam me except ONE person who actually found someone on Facebook willing to send me a pair which that should be in the process by now. God bless you. I had another job opportunity to come about today but didn't post asking for the help because I was let down due to not ever getting the help really late. I called hoping to reschedule and now my appointment is now tomorrow at 9:30am.

I'm really needing help and I'm feeling embarrassed and ashamed to even ask you guys again but I'm hoping for a miracle. My cashapp is $Aceofspades11582. I'm willing to pay it back. I'll give my phone number or whatever I have to do at this point as well. Please.. Thank you all so much for taking the time to read this and may God bless you all. 🙏

Hey y’all, regrettably I must ask for some help. My wife and I are going back to school to try and improve our lives, but our financial aid is dicking us around so we’re stuck paying for supplies we thought we’d have assistance for. Combine that with an imminent tax bill, needing to replace the 15 year old laptop we’ve been using, and summer doldrums causing my hours to get cut back(thankfully work is picking back up). We’re in a rough spot until my next check on the 23rd. We have about $300 to our name and still need to get groceries and gas. Anything helps, and we deeply appreciate it while we try to get ourselves in a better position.

Friend of mine helping raise money to help an incarcerated loved one. Go fund me below. They apparently just raised prices in there so things are tougher than normal. Please donate & share if you can!

Our car broke down a few months ago, and we've been struggling hard. I can manage to get to work some of the time with friends, but using lyft has left me super broke. Also I can't go get groceries when I get money, I end up having stuff delivered constantly. That's also contributing to my financial issues. I should be getting a new vehicle by the end of the month, but I have nothing left to even eat this week. Anything helps, I have most of the relevant apps to receive money.

It's my birthday this saturday. I'm currently overdrafted and have no food. I work at a mall for the summer while I attempt to secure a teaching job for the fall. If anyone could could help it would mean a great deal to me. Have a great day. Even if you can't help. Try to make my day special for you.

My paychecks have barely been covering rent and bills, and I’m struggling to afford food and sudden medical expenses. Anything helps 🫶 $dipsherlock12

Hello, everyone. I usually don't make posts like this but I'm really running short 20 dollars for my phone bill due to me having to pay a bunch of other bills and my phone will get cut off by Wednesday if I don't pay it. If anyone can spare about 20 dollars or any amount at all, I'd very highly appreciate it.

My cashapp is $Obiani, and my paypal is @obiani

Thank you for listening.

Hello Disabled trans person request necessary support funds

➡️➡️ I got help with Dog Food…THANK YOU!

My dog is out of food. I have Cash app which I can message you. A large bag is $23 and will last awhile. It won’t let me post a pic of the dog food.

https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/23NLZHL4U8FTJ?ref_=wl_share

I had posted an Amazon Wishlist of items I really needed. One of them being Dog Food. I called Amazon because I wanted to see when I would receive it as my dog ran out of food today. The agent said from what they could tell is that none of the items were purchased on my list yet when you click on items it states item was purchased. She said someone put it their cart but never purchased 😔 So it prevented anyone else from helping me.

All help is very much appreciated. Thank you

Just think, a community built by the people and actually for THE PEOPLE. If this community grew to a significant amount of people we could aid so many people in need especially if they are in emergency situations. If we grew to just even 25000 members and every one of those members put $1 into our community fund each pay period, each week or maybe just even every month!!

The amount of ON HAND emergency funds that we could have already collected if someone said “I’m in need of money for groceries” or “I’m behind on my light bill and I’m about to have my power shut off” or even “I’m short on my rent because I need to have my car fixed and my landlord only gave me 3 days to pay” etc.etc. You get my point. 501c3 paperwork, in the filing process.🙂

Hi there,

I started a gofundme to cover costs of end of life care and a few bucket list items + memorial items for loved ones. I also have etransfer as an option. Anything helps. I’m willing to draw funny animals, quotes, basic portraits in exchange for donations too.

Please feel free to ask any questions. The GFM has more info too, and I’m happy to explain what’s going on if anyone wants me to!

Extra info: I have severe gastroparesis and am no longer able to tolerate solids and most liquids, I have complex diabetes that for some reason is uncontrollable with insulin despite 4 years of trialling and tweaking doses, types and routes given, I have hidradenitis suppurativa, stage 3, that while it isn’t terminal in itself, it has severely impacted my quality of life as it’s spread across my body. I have stage 3 liver cirrhosis, I am in intestinal failure, I have a moderate cognitive impairment, and have severe mast cell activation syndrome/hereditary angioedema that has almost killed me numerous times due to anaphylaxis. I also have ehlers danlos syndrome, pcos and presumed endometriosis. My doctors have told me there is nothing else they can do for me, I am not a candidate for a feeding tube due to my skin instability, I am not a candidate for TPN due to my liver and blood sugar issues. I’ve also been severely malnourished and dehydrated for the past 4 years due to medical neglect, and my body is just crumbling at this point. None of these on their own are terminal, but when you add them all together, and the complications I face as a result of them, my doctors don’t think I have much time left.
