this is the right place, make a Discord account and add/message Plinkey#8085 since you don't have Platinum here on SA and he'll see what's around to assist. also speaking to your situation; i know a LOT about work from home CSR jobs, if you have CSR experience and can hack a phone gig, I pretty much guarantee i can refer you to a place I'm working now and get you hired on, it's the most gravy job ever. you can message me on discord too and I'll talk to you about it smarxist#2284

err posted:This might not be the right thread, but I worked briefly January 2nd to March 15th (contract employment). I applied for unemployment but it was rejected. Have you tried appealing the decision? What was the rejection reason? Are your mother's materials secured right now or was she relying on some of your income? Is she taking advantage of all programs for disabled/low income people? (Section 8 type stuff, energy bill reductions, etc) Search for your state's SNAP and other benefits website, usually you can fill out all your information once and it'll check every program in the state / city to see what you're eligible for benefit wise. You might be able to get a few months of SNAP or other assistance. What kind of work do you do? Have any CSR or phones experience? https://www.ratracerebellion.com is a work from home jobs blog, legit real jobs not survey and email bullshit. most of them are inbound call center jobs for tech support, appointment settings, or sales/service, but they start at pretty decent pay and usually have benefits. even during COVID they're hiring like crazy because they're WFH employers, may be worth checking it out, I just got a new job through there recently with an Apple program Don't be afraid to ask friends and family for help, especially if they're more comfortable and willing, also goons and this thread are here to help as much as we can You'll be okay comrade

I would apply, but getting it back dated to March will be a challenge, the state usually has a small list of reasons they allow you to back date, it'd be worth your time to try and get it done though for sure, that's money on the table mang.

Garrand posted:I'm torn because I just asked plinkey for money and that helped get me food and water and phone turned back on but now my internet was just shut off without warning (admittedly I am quite behind) and I need $110 to turn it back on. ask plinkey, if you need help you need help, that's what the fund is for if the fund runs dry every month, then we're doing awesome, but we need to get more donators

i know first hand Plinkey takes a pretty decent hit to his own income to run the GoonFund, turning it into a charity apparently would have cost more in the long term, so everything that comes in hits his own personal taxes, also he goes into the red pretty much every month and covers people would it be cool if it was some fukken perfectly ran thing yeah i guess, but as it stands, it's probably doing the most good it can without turning into someone's 20+ hour a week job

ACES CURE PLANES posted:I'm gonna be entirely honest, I've been holding off for a few weeks on asking for help from the fund for a second month in a row because of my own personal guilt about it, and then this poo poo goes and pops off and I see people's post histories being dug into or using people asking for help to take care of their pets as a cudgel and poo poo and making me doubly terrified of asking in here so i just send a stealth email off yesterday hoping to get it noticed but at this point it looks like it doesn't matter. thanks for sharing, sorry you felt compelled to defend a resource that has helped you, and i hope everyone who wants to start poo poo and gently caress with this operation has the capacity to feel shame.
