A Member of this Community Desperately Needs Our Help
Saturday, December 23, 2017 by LightStar | Discussion: Everything Else
I need to do this, no matter what (he may not like my doing this due to pride).
A well known member of this skinning community in the recent past needs lots of help from wherever he can get it. He is about to lose his car that he uses to make money driving for Uber and Lyft (because it has broke down and he cannot afford to get it fixed). He is about to lose his computer that he desperately needs to earn money doing graphics designs for various music companies (but they only pay him peanuts). He needs to pay rent, pay a car payment on a car he cannot even drive safely, pay utilities, etc. Not to mention food.
I have been helping him, along with many others, for many years, and he is trying desperately, but he also has a disease that leaves him in debilitating pain quite often, and he cannot even get pain medication. I am no longer able to help him out financially, and I am very saddened.
He is married and his wife works, but only for 20 hours a week (all she can get, and she doesn't drive a car).
Their rent is a ridiculous amount (due to typical greed I imagine), but they cannot afford to move.
They will be without a home and on the street with absolutely nothing very soon.
If you care and want to help them out, please PM me and I will let you know who this person is and where you can send help to. This is not a joke, I am not kidding and other members of this community can attest to that.
I hope you all have a blessed holiday season. Thanks.

Ya beat me to it! Besides, Aus social welfare has been decimated by our 'wonderful' PM. I know of people struggling to survive on less than $500 per fortnight and are homeless because they cannot afford to pay rent AND utilities AND food, etc, etc.
And no, I'm not making a political statement here. Rather it is a comment on how the most vulnerable of our society have been reduced to living well below the poverty line due to massive cuts in welfare spending.
Anyway, enough of that, it's depressing.
So v, how was your birthday? Hopefully somebody baked you a cake and people in attendance sang the traditional birthday song.

Again... i cannot thank everyone for their kindness and uber generosity. We have caught up a lot of our bills and are looking much better for the new year, It's hard to put into words how appreciative I am to those of you who have gone out of your way to help us but please know, I appreciate each and everyone of you who have helped us get thru a tough time. I am humbled.
Also, thanks for the birthday greets!... yes yes, V is now 50, an old man!!!

50 is still middle age not old. You have to at least be 65 to be old.

Why is more help not coming from Australia's social welfare dept's . There are also numerous charities services as well , including citizens advice bureau . If a move is required to cheaper accommodation there is a crisis benefit available
