#asking for money

[beyondthisdarkhouse]

I've just launched my Kickstarter:

The Haberdasheress: Stitching the Past and Present Together

I'm a queer, disabled costumer and designer, launching a line of accessible and innovative products to help people make historical and fantasy costumes.

What you can get: Digital downloads of my original embroidery designs, physical copies of Kickstarter-exclusive stick-and-stitch embroidery patterns, and maybe one of a limited run of hand-dyed, hand-printed bandanas, or put more simply, Leafkerchiefs!

What I get: Thanks in huge part to my mentor from an Entrepreneurs with Disabilities program, I have a detailed business plan and budget for what to do with this seed funding. I'm extremely tired of living in disability poverty, so for almost a year now, I've been focusing as much as possible on building a business model that is sustainable and scalable, even if I'm not able to do all the work myself.

I appreciate the support I get more than I can say. I feel so fortunate for it every day, and I literally don't know what I'd do without it.

This Kickstarter runs until September 26, 2023.

Hey, everyone. I'm still struggling to get by, since I'm unemployed and my government disability benefits only cover about half of my monthly expenses. If you like this blog and want to help out, I'd appreciate if you'd consider contributing to my gofundme so I can hit its goal in January 2023.

Some people have had problems with getting payments processed. Apparently that's mostly a browser/adblocker issue; GFM recommends using an incognito window.

I really appreciate all your support. I would like to be earning enough money to pay my own expenses, but right now, support from social media is allowing me the indescribable luxury of not working myself to the bone just to make ends meet. I am deeply grateful for all of you.

Once again: Here's the gofundme

#donations post #asking for money #i am trying to NOT die of shame when doing this #I have a terrible habit of thinking people only want to see me when I have something concrete to offer them #it is okay! to ask for help! I tell myself

[happy-radio]

I don't want to do this, I really don't, but I have bills to pay and animals to feed and a car to fix and I'm drowning tbh.

Hi. I hate doing this again (please believe me I hate it so much) but I have a power bill that was higher than expected plus it turns out an extended CPTSD bad time which has impacted things.

so I’m linking my ko-fi

In return if you specify a request I can draw you a card of some sort

Autistic Trans Man in Recovery Needing Financial Help

Hello all! That's right, just like it says on the tin, I am an autistic trans man in recovery from substance abuse and alcholism in need of financial help. Most specifically I have been spending these months in recovery/sobriety reorienting my life and getting things in order for myself to be in a better place than I have ever been. There have been good days and bad days, but I am still going regardless.

I am currently going through a program to go into trade school and things are going well! I've taken my aptitude test and have two seperate entities who are willing to reach out for work in the short term until I am able to start my apprenticeship. Problem is, the process could take up to two weeks before I get a call back and possible job opportunities.

In the mean time, I have needs that have to be met:

- Food & water.

- Transportation to medical care namely gender affirming care/HRT and my first ever OBGYN appointment to date.

- Transportation to temp work when it becomes available to me.

- Apprenticeship licensing fees/training fees/other application and set up fees.

I will include below the cut specifics of my situation and costs but if you are able and willing to give even a small amount my PayPal is one of the easiest ways to give. I also have venmo, zelle, and cashapp if you want to message me directly for information.

Tldr for below the cut; My rent is taken care of but I have an upcoming doctor's appointment I will have to Uber too costing about $60-$80 round trip and a $20 apprenticeship licensing fee that needs to be finished before I can get my job as well as costs to keep myself fed before I can get this job. Anything helps!

So! To get to the nitty gritty! I have an upcoming OBGYN appointment (my first ever) on Sept 19th. Due to it being at an LGBT+ outreach center and my qualification of being in sober living the appointment itself is free. Problem is, any follow up treatments and most notable *transportation* isn't. Where I'm currently located there is no access to public transportation and no one able to transport me, basically just leaving ride share as my only option.

This is the current estimate for a one way trip to the clinic. Prices can change depending on surge pricing, available riders, and so forth. Having had to take this exact trip before I've seen it range from as low as $29 to $40. I might be able to call in a favor to be picked up by someone after the appointment but have no one to rely on to get me to the appointment. This appointment and any food costs take utmost priority with any money given as this is my health and well being.

The next priority would be the apprenticeship licensing. I am required to have this to begin working as a full apprentice in the trade I am going to school for. In the meantime I can work as a helper for lesser pay but can't start the schooling part of the program without the license to work.

The cost for licensing is $20 and is the bare minimum of what I need to have done before starting work. Other fees I can work on paying and doing after I begin work but include things like OSHA 10 certification (~$40), and hand tools (~$100). These are NOT musts or time sensitive!!! Just context for what money will go toward once my needs are met.

Finally, transportation to and from temporary jobs: I have a bike and have been getting myself where I need to go that way. Problem is this can be exhausting and just unreasonable for jobs that can be more than an hour out while riding under less than ideal circumstances (busy roads, highways, alongside traffic, adverse weather, etc) any extra money will be going toward ride shares to get to work (most rides average about $7~15 one way) or allow me to help others with gas in exchange for rides. For context, once I am able to work for the trade school I already have two seperate employers who have offered to transport me to and from job sites until I have been able to save up enough to begin getting my license and car.

At the end of the day, every little bit helps! I can't explain how despite all of this, how good it feels to be in a much better place now than I have been in years. I am healthier mentally and physically and emotionally than I have ever been and I am on my way to be starting a career and living a true adult life. I just need to learn to ask for help in constructive ways to get there.

If you managed to read all of this, thank you, and feel free to reach out for details I'll be happy to give! Thank you.

Hey, so

I really don't like doing this but.

Hi. I'm a disabled neurodivergent queer aspec person. I'm currently asking if anyone could possibly help pay for food to be delivered as I haven't been able to work and earn money at all due to repeatedly becoming sick this past month (Pride month no less and unable to participate).

If you could spare anything, my V*enmo is /kinship_guild.

Any money received will be used primarily for food and occassionally for gas. Any bit helps.

I am more than willing to draw anyone an icon or sketch for anything $15 USD or higher. Please check @death-tink for examples of icons and sketches. I will try to get the art back to you ASAP or give an estimate in DMs.

@star-anise/@beyondthisdarkhouse Money Update:

I can accept money through Paypal again! I have figured out how to report self-employment income without being considered "too rich" to receive disability/unemployment benefits. Yes, wading through that much bureaucracy was kind of harrowing. (The next fun thing I get to do is appeal the pro forma rejection I got for permanent disability benefits. Voice of Albertans with Disabilities continues to be wonderful and deserve support.)

I'm offering merch on Patreon now! It works as a loyalty subscription service: Every 3 months you support me you will receive, depending on the tier you're in, a sticker, mini-print, mug, or tote bag with one of my designs on it. I've got the first design up, and will reveal more designs throughout the year.

Personally? I've been sewing and designing a lot of costume stuff lately, and selling it locally. It's the work that I can do with unpredictably variable energy and ability levels, and God knows I've got enough fabric in my stash.

Anyway! This is the sticker you can get if you subscribe to my Patreon, starting at $5 a month:

And if you want to send me money on Paypal, I will always be grateful for the support!

State of Me Fundraising update: I am really grateful to everyone who's helped me along so far. I'm lucky to have gotten so much help. I hate having to ask so often, and absolutely encourage people not to donate if they can't or don't want to.

I was quiet on the donations front at the end of November because I had exactly the amount I'd wanted to get to by then! I was right on target! I managed a bit of income from real actual work! The numbers were going to balance! AND THEN.

My Gofundme goal of $700 a month was calculated as fixed expenses minus a monthly $500 that a relative has offered to contribute to my rent. And at the end of November, a wheel literally fell off this person's car (!?) and while everyone involved was safe and unharmed, getting the car repaired was really expensive, and they weren't able to pay anything on my rent this month. Sooo my rent ate my grocery money.

Therefore, my goal for December 10, 2022 is to get from $2100 to, like, $2400? That way I can manage grocery money and Christmas shopping.

Gofundme here

Thank you all so much 💕

I usually don’t post these but I’m kind of desperate. I want to get through this semester of college but I just don’t have enough money. We had to take my cat to the vet last night and that alone was $1,500. I don’t have enough in my bank account to cover this and financial aid screwed me over.
