About a month ago I got ghosted by my first real job just a couple months in, and it happened at a real inconvenient stage in my life. I didn’t qualify for unemployment, so I was just kinda fucked and had to deal with it entirely on my own. I did manage to save some money during those two months, but now I’m running out and finding another job has been more challenging than I thought it would be.

My mother works at a grocery store, and she told me she’d talk to her manager about getting me hired there too. Couple dollars more than local min wage, night stocking shelves, which I actually enjoy doing so long as I’m not pushed into working at a ridiculous pace. So she set me up with an interview with her manager, and here’s where I find out it’s a temporary position opening up because her union is about to go on strike. The manager is telling me I might have to cross a picket line. My own mother set me up to scab at her workplace, and she didn’t tell me.

Needless to say, I felt betrayed. She also feels betrayed at me for not taking the job. Lots of feelings of betrayal going around. So I’m back at square one, running out of money.

I need help paying for my Buprenorphine prescription this month and the next, and have no where to turn right now but Hexbear. It’s 60 dollars with GoodRX, so I need to raise $120. I saw some other comrades in bad situations have actually been receiving judgement free aid here, and that’s honestly fucking amazing.

If any comrade in a better position can help, here’s my cashapp details: (removed payment link as per new rules) EDIT: I now have a Venmo account set up. (removed payment link as per new rules)

EDIT2: So far you’ve all raised $70! That’s very helpful, I appreciate it so much. Just need another $50. EDIT3: Total donations at $90, only 30 more to go!

EDIT4: Thanks to all of you I’ve now hit my goal of $120. It’ll be so nice for my mental health to not have to worry about this stuff for a little while. I want you all to know I appreciate this so much, and I hope to pay it forward when my situation becomes stable.

EDIT5: Removed payment links as per new rules.
