🚨 MISSING FAMILY MEMBER – CONNECTICUT 🚨

PLEASE SHARE – WE JUST WANT TO KNOW THAT HE IS SAFE.

Our family is urgently trying to locate my uncle, a 52-year-old Jamaican man living in Connecticut. His name Everol Benjamin and he goes by “Benjie” or “Tom”. The last time any member of our family heard from him was June 13, 2026, the day of his mother’s funeral.

He is approximately 5’7”–5’9”, dark-skinned, and of medium build.

I have attached his most recent photograph for identification.

Before we lost contact, he was going through a very difficult period in his life. He was facing the possibility of homelessness and had declined an offer from one of his sisters to relocate to New York and stay with family. He had also mentioned experiencing some physical health issues, and we became increasingly concerned about his overall well-being.

We are not posting this to judge, embarrass, or cause him any trouble. We simply want to find him, make sure he is safe, and help him get whatever support or assistance he may need.

It has now been over two months since anyone in our family has heard from him, and we are extremely worried.

If you are in Connecticut and believe you may have seen him, know where he may be staying, or have ANY information that could help us locate him, please send me a private message.

Even if you think the information may be insignificant, please reach out.

Please share this post widely, especially within the Jamaican and Caribbean communities in Connecticut. Someone may recognize him or know where he has been staying.

Our family just wants to know that he is alive, safe, and okay.

Please help us get him back into contact with his family. Thank you.

EDIT: 23/8/2026 - He was last seen around Bakers St, Hartford CT. Thank you to everyone who has shared and are keeping an eye out for him. It is greatly appreciated.

EDIT 2: 23/8/2026 - Someone expressed concern over the legitimacy of this post, and mentioned that it would put people’s mind at ease if the authorities were contacted if he has been located instead of contacting me. I want to make it very clear that it is completely okay to do so and once I have had specifics regarding the name of an officer, address of the police station or specific department to report this to I will make a further edit to this post. Once again, I appreciate everyone. Thank you.

Report to HR

Hello everyone,

I worked at Kindercare for 3 years

I had an awful time and experienced a lot of abuse from management and co workers

How do I go about this and is this reportable?

Examples of the abuse I jotted down during my time there:

- abusing break time and stealing time
- management gossiping about co workers personal lives
-management allowing co workers to bully and verbally attack others
-favoritism; letting a co worker who started at a later shift go home before someone that started at an earlier time
- discrediting a co workers performance and comparing it to theirs
- excluding a group of employees bc management didn’t like them

Busted lip.. you can see impact

I have a busted lip from getting into a fight with bf. He charged at me and I defended myself. I can’t remember how it escalated but he was man handling me and he slighted my lip. He said his thumb got me while he was tryna break away from me and his nail that was freshly cut scratched me bc I bled a little.

I’m thinking of leaving at the beginning of next year bc I just started a new job and I want to save.

I’m done

AITAH for telling my friend I don’t want to be her maid of honor anymore?

My friend who is getting married in October made me her MOH.

I’ve been contemplating backing out for a while now because the friendship seems one sided and there’s a lot of miscommunication and fear of confrontation on her end.

My birthday was recently and her fiance started making condescending comments towards me along with jokes that are mean and bully like.. at my birthday dinner. So finally I snapped at him during the dinner and said “ you’re always talking s_ about me and my living situation.”

My friend did not say or do anything and hasn’t texted me asking how I’m doing.

I’m pretty fearful of this conversation, which would be over text, so I’m wondering .. AITA?

Can someone say they notice it too ? New Haven has been absolutely crazy this year. I was at the taco trucks on long wharf and a homeless guy spit at a couple two feet away from me. I just came home from cinco de mayo and it was just so … mid? Downtown was crazy and people were being rude and disrespectful . I used to walk alone in downtown for like 5 years and now admittedly I’m feeling .. uneasy ? I was walking to my car at the temple st parking garage with my bf and we saw someone trying to break into cars.. wtf is going on?? 😭😭

I’m at a point in my life where if one of my friendships fizzle out.. then tuff 🤷🏻‍♀️ I’m pretty communicative and lay the ground down for the dynamic to be safe, open, communicative, and respectful.. but the last five years of friendship has been rocky. I’m tired of people I’ve befriended expecting me to hold their hand and shake out the communication part where they tell me things are wrong or they’re feeling angry. I’m not trying to be apathetic, but I’m definitely protecting my peace and exercising better boundaries. I shouldn’t be carrying that extra weight in the friendship and doing all the work. My motto: there’s no problem unless someone communicates it. 🥲
