PLEASE READ: Please help a fur in dire need

I am writing this journal to appeal to the kind and generous nature of the furry fandom. I have seen it in action many times, and when things were going well for me, I was happy to contribute to it as well.

The simple truth of the matter is: I could really use your help.

A combination of temporary unemployment and health issues has knocked me down the last few months. I had a mild stroke back in April, and the cost was intimidating; I appealed to local and state aid and was able to negate most of the health care costs. Though things are definitely starting to look back up again, at the moment all financial resources available to me are completely depleted. I have no way to take care of basic necessities such as rent or groceries.

Please let me make two points perfectly clear:

1) These donations will go toward essential living expenses only: rent, utilities and food.

2) Please do not donate if you are currently in a strained financial situation. If you can help, that is wonderful; but don't overextend yourself monetarily in order to do so.

If you could send a donation my way to help me get back on my feet, it would be tremendously appreciated. My PayPal email address is cashew@macrophile.com, and any donations can be made to that account.

Finally, if you are unable to donate, that is completely understandable; however, if you could take a moment and re-post this journal to get the word out, it would be a huge help.

Thank you very much, everyone, for your kind attention.

Rock, I am proud and honored--and flattered--that I was your first exposure to macro furries. I am also honored by your offer of help, encouragement and support.  Furry means a lot to me, and the support I have been receiving in this current crisis emphasizes one of the many reasons that is true.

Thank you very much, my friend.

I can't afford to send you monetary help, but I did echo your journal: https://inkbunny.net/journalview.php?id=39919

Hope someone can afford to help you out. =/

Your passing the word along is of great help in and of itself. Thank you very much!

I really wish I could help you myself, but the group at my house is also currently in a financial situation >.< I hope everything works out, and i do hope that someone without these kinds of financial burdens can help you out. *hugs*

I've created a journal to re-direct all of my friends here to this journal. I hope it helps!

I have said it before, but it bears repeating: helping to get the word out is a great help in and of itself.

I understand that not everyone is in a position to help monetarily; times are tight for a lot of us. You have given the help you can, and I thank you for that.

I'd offer my prayers but, helping hands do more than praying lips. If you were in the Loveland-Fort Collins area of Colorado I could drop off some snacks, but I'm without a job and have medical bills of my own. :/

I understand; I know not everyone is in a position to help. Your kind thoughts and support are of great help, nonetheless!

Well, just remember, that life has it's ups and downs, so keep strong and you'll come through all right! Also, I shared your journal entry so maybe a few of my followers might take notice and spread the word/help.

If I may, have you looked into foodstamps? I know it'd feel like a blow to pride perhaps, but my family lived off them when I was younger. It's a viable option for food.

I have, yes. The problem in my situation is that I am single and have no dependents, and all aid programs in the area give those who have children the highest priority. The unfortunate case is, by the time they get to people like me on the list, there is no aid remaining.

I would DEFINITELY help if I could, but I'm broke as well, and reposting this won't do shit because I have no followers. But you will be in my thoughts! I hope things look up for you!

You are doing what you can...and ultimately, that is the most important thing. Thank you very much for your thoughts and kindness!

Whatever help you can give would be wonderful...but don't put yourself in financial peril just for my sake, please.

I sended you a small backup. I hope it will help you a little bit. I'm sad when I see people in need. I was in same situation many times and no one could help me.I know how it hurts. I hope it will help you a little. Also I posted journals: https://awangarde.deviantart.com/journal/Please-help-a-... , https://www.furaffinity.net/journal/3497057/ and here: https://inkbunny.net/journalview.php?id=40381 .

Have a good day,
