Hi, it's me Xanthotic, one of the mods. I am posting to ask for financial help for a young couple who are collapse-aware in Alabama, trying to get to New Orleans. They are homeless, and their car died which they had been using to do Door Dash. I've been in touch with the young man for many months now, since before the car died, as he has posted in r/collapsesupport. They have a GoFundMe, but facebook and reddit now quickly ban accounts that solicit money. Their people in Alabama are all MAGA and have disowned them, of course. It will take hundreds of dollars to get to NOLA, and the idea is that for maybe $5K they could get another vehicle and register it. If it appears that there is a shot at the $5K, I will aggregate the funds in my own pay pal so they don't get frittered away on the tremendously high cost of being homeless. It may not need saying but I promise you that I will not keep any of these funds and they will go to the family in question. The family in question may not use the funds for what we think they should, but they would be using the funds to exist while homeless. Tim's paypal is @crawfordfoundation and mine is hrhkas@gmail.com. I will absorb the paypal transfer fees if you send it to me to send to them. I have a tremendously soft spot in my heart for young collapse-aware people. Please remember that if you feel I have overstepped by making this post. Thanks for reading.

I do not like how reddit handles links, so here is the post. https://collapse2050.substack.com/p/the-planet-is-dying-but-youve-got
