I still really need food aid, would anyone email me a supermarket gift card? Easy to do and lots of different payment methods.

Last month when I made a request for food aid, I had someone tell me to try the food bank. I thought everyone here knew me by now but for those that don’t, I was using the food bank before finding this site. The packages mostly just consisted of tea, coffee, milk, sugar, cookies and a small loaf of bread or small packet of pasta. And it takes ages to access, you have to get your GP or citizen’s advice to refer you, and then wait for an appointment, I was going hungry all the time. So for anyone who hasn’t seen my posts before, that’s why I’ve been asking for help here.

Due to going through a disability benefit appeal I have to use these food vouchers for anything else I need too, toilet paper being the other main thing. I have another foot surgery coming up and will have to order groceries for delivery then as I won’t be able to get out and get things myself, which makes it even more expensive. And of course prices have gone up.

Previous financial lifelines have also been withdrawn, for example the cancer charity Macmillan used to give cancer patients a grant every two years, but they’ve recently decided to stop giving grants. I was due to get a £300 grant this year but now I won’t get that. My local council’s household support fund also got diverted to old age pensioners. So the little amount of money I had expected to get this year while I wait for my appeal to be heard, I won’t be getting. My appeal is estimated to be heard in January so I will need help for months yet.

If anyone is able to send a supermarket gift card for me to get food, please email to DisabledAceSocialist@hotmail.com

Users cannot assume that any post has been vetted and must do their own investigation.

RULES:

All mutual aid requests must go in this community.

Mods do not vet individual mutual aid requests. Donate at your own risk.

Do not request donations for funding anything explicitly illegal.

Comments giving unsolicited advice will be removed. (See below)

Comments or posts that are critical of any mutual aid post or user will be removed. (See below)

Posts containing opsec leaks will be removed.

Additionally:

If you are open to non-monetary aid please indicate so in your post

If you wish to provide unsolicited advice/resources, then please make a separate post in this community

Other types of non-specific meta posts about other users may be made in the !feedback@hexbear.net community

If you have concrete evidence of something even remotely suspicious, do not hesitate to bring it to the attention of a moderator for review via direct message

We strongly advise you ask people to send you a direct message to obtain information regarding payment to prevent inadvertent opsec leaks.

Please consider posting once a day and editing the title of a mutual aid post to include [Covered] or [Need Met] when a request has been satisfied or goal met.

Consider not making comments about receiving large donations, or about what that money is spent on.

Moderator Pinning Rules:

Moderators are strictly prohibited from promoting/endorsing/pinning individual mutual aid requests (especially those of their own) as this creates unfair post visibility and could therefore benefit more from that than the standard user. Moderators caught engaging in this behavior will be swiftly removed from the moderator board with extreme prejudice.

Moderators are allowed to pin and crosspost donation requests for large scope issues such as natural disaster relief funds and bail funds ((Example)[https://hexbear.net/post/16574) along with other crowd or moderator-compiled informational resources pertaining to donating or volunteering (Example), so long as the utmost due diligence is done prior to endorsement, especially in the case of directing people to donate to non-profit organizations.

Financial documents of non-profit organizations available to the public must be heavily scrutinized before moderator endorsement, and links to those must also be included in the endorsement post to help the community make their own decision if they should donate.
