Hey, folks. I hate doing this, but my family and I need help with money for food & gas. This is unfortunately going to be a regular request until I can get a new job. (See my pinned posts for my resume.)
We average about $35/day for food (2 adults, 2 kids) and $10/day for gas, if we are being cheap. Dog food is $22/week. So we need around $335-$340 to make it through the week, making sure everyone is fed and gets to school. Any help, however small, is deeply appreciated.
Please boost for reach! And remember, you can unboost and boost again to keep it visible.
Week of Dec 21:
Progress: $350/$340
(Thank you again, folks, for helping out a couple of weeks ago with the bills we had to pay.)

in reply to Aaron • •I will. But now, let us focus on your needs.
Do you accept crypto?

in reply to Aaron • •In the USA now crypto are pretty much promoted, so there should not be many obstacles.
You need a wallet (Metamask is not bad) to receive and send crypto, like any other currency.
You can generate a link for donations via trocador.app and publish it. They only offer prepaid cards and selling options.
Not terribly efficient, but workable.

in reply to Aaron • • •@8petros I've come to the conclusion that I have no idea whatsoever what I'm doing. lol The user interface for trocador is really confusing and unintuitive. I finally figured out how to create an account and log in, at least.
Is it a bad idea to just share a public wallet link from MetaMask, and skip trocador altogether?

in reply to Aaron • •Essentially it is just your preference, whichever device you feel more comfortable with.
Once you have your wallet securely set up, you can just publish its address for people to start sending a specific crypto you chose as your base.
Next step is to create a multicurrency donation link via trocador, where you put your wallet address as the receiving address, but people can send many different currencies, being exchanged on the fly.
For spending the money, the crypto card seems to be the easiest way.

I think I finally figured out trocador. Testing it out now:

in reply to Aaron • • •Hey, Aaron. I sent you a week's worth of dog food 🙂 and a bit more.
I wish I could send more but I am sending out huge amounts these days, mostly to desperate people in Gaza.
Very best wishes.

in reply to Aaron • • •Actually, we had $25 in Venmo so we are good tonight, but the boosts would still help a lot!
(I always forget to check Venmo because most people use PayPal.)

in reply to Aaron • • •We also habe another issue: Our car insurance has lapsed, and so has our vehicle registration. We need the vehicle in order to get the kids to school, since we are outside the bus routes, and in Texas, they impound your vehicle if you're caught driving without insurance. The registration being out makes it *way* more likely to be pulled over, so my wife is a nervous wreck (pardon the pun) every time she has to drive.
We need ~$300 total in order to get the insurance reinstated and cover the registration.
Right now we are subsisting on just enough money to eat and feed the dogs. Utility bills will be coming due soon, too, but they are less urgent right now.
Can anybody help us keep from falling deeper in the hole while I search for a job?

in reply to Aaron • • •Please give this another boost, folks, if you don't mind. It would really help us out. This is high stakes for us.
Remember, you can unboost and then reboost again!

I have a job interview tomorrow at 10:30am. It would help a lot if I could afford something decent for breakfast tomorrow. $12 won't be enough to even afford dinner for the kids tonight.
If you wouldn't mind, please unboost/reboost the original post so this gets seen. I really appreciate it!
