r/eauclaire

Need place to stay IMMEDIATELY please help someone 😭 It’s too hot out and I’m terminally ill so the heat is killing me. 31F, quiet, clean, small well-behaved official ESA dog (black Pomeranian chihuahua). I have some money for an application and/or security deposit

If someone can please for the love of God help me. I’m not asking to live somewhere for free. Thankfully I have some money left after paying rent to my “friend” then being kicked out because she “prefers living alone” and I “have too many friends” (they’d stop over with me to check on my dog or change my shoes for an activity etc.)

I am terminally ill but take care of myself so you don’t have to worry. Got a solid 2-5 years left and just want to enjoy Eau Claire, have a clean & safe place to live, spend time with friends and family and my dog, and not suffer. That’s all I want.

Please let me know if you know of anything or anyone that can help me. The organizations I called to get help all have a waiting list.

I will also clean or cook or do whatever you need out of gratitude on top of the money. I just can’t be in this heat guys. I am praying to God and the universe and whoever and whatever that someone can please assist me. I never expected this to happen and I am couch surfing with friends but I need my own space and my bed.

Thank you so much.

EDIT: I really appreciate the couple of people who have messaged me with resources, but I have reached out to local resources and on top of it it is obviously a holiday weekend so they’re all closed and I need help as soon as humanly possible plus the resources around here will get me like two nights in a hotel and that’s not what I really need. I need a place to live

One Year Ago Today, Derrick Van Orden Posted One of the Dumbest Tweets Ever

Today marks the first anniversary of Derrick Van Orden celebrating the idea of millions of Americans losing their health insurance and food assistance. If you're not familiar with Derrick Van Orden, this is who he is.

The primary election is on August 11 - just over a month away. Emily Berge and Rebecca Cooke are both running to challenge Derrick Van Orden. Neither candidate would celebrate something like this.

Primaries

As I am driving around in my town I see a concerning number of Tiffany signs, smh. I suppose we have to come to term with the fact that nothing, absolutely nothing will make republican voters see the light and even being robbed blind is an acceptable price to pay to them. What is even more troubling is that I hardly hear any news from or about the democratic candidates. We still have a messaging problem.

Derek telling constituents to f off since he's been elected.

When he was asked to release discharge papers to prove there was no sexual harassment.

Eau Claire's best rising artist🤔??

I saw Metz preform at a basement venue in Eau Claire. His performance was really good and after checking his Spotify, i was even more impressed. He only has one project out, but has managed to amass almost 500 monthly listeners and 20k+ streams.

I'll link some of his music so you guys can check him out ------->

When asked if the federal government should ban conversion therapy nationwide, Cooke answers "No", Berge answers "Yes". Vote accordingly

My First Experience Canvassing for Francesca Hong

Today was the first time I canvassed for Francesca Hong.

Her platform and the things she is fighting for inspired me to get off my butt and knock doors, and I just wanted to share my experience for the benefit of anyone who might be thinking of taking that next step.

Almost everyone I talked to was enthusiastic about her platform when I explained it, especially a soon-to-be grandmother who was very hopeful about Fran's free childcare plan. While I didn't wrangle up any new volunteers on this first showing, some people who said they'd never voted in a primary before are now commmitted to Fran and a few more yard signs are going out to them.

Got hit by some downpours so I plan on finishing the list tomorrow during better weather, but the response so far has been very encouraging. I've never volunteered for a primary candidate like this, but I feel glad that I did and I'm hopeful tomorrow I can bring more people onboard.

I know there are a lot of Hong supporters on this subreddit and I encourage you to volunteer if you are able. It feels good to talk with your neighbors and get the message out about a candidate who will fight for us and make a better Wisconsin for working class folks.

We can make better happen! Hong for governor!

ISO SUV around 4-5k

Sooo my muffler fell off today 😃. Long story short I need a new car but haven’t really found anything. I’m not the best at looking for cars tho. Does anyone know the best place to buy a used car around 4000-5000$

Wheel tax = housing funding?

Watching tonight’s City Council meeting raised some serious questions about fiscal consistency. After passing two separate wheel taxes in recent budget cycles, the north district council representative proposed reducing the street maintenance budget to allocate more resources to the housing fund. While housing is undeniably a critical priority, defunding infrastructure immediately after raising transportation-specific taxes raises an ethical red flag. It mirrors a broader issue we've seen recently: diverting wheel tax revenue toward transit rather than the street repairs residents were promised.

If you have a free bed or cot or pullout couch to get rid of that isn’t gross and old… hmu lol. Please 😂😅😭

Disclaimer: I’m posting this in the free in Eau Claire groups as well.

Does anyone have a new or newer bed, bed frame, and/or headboard you’d be willing to give? OR honestly even a really comfy cot or pull out couch?!

I just moved back to home sweet home Wisconsin from Utah (looong story). I have a really painful and annoying terminal illness on top of severe RA since I was a kiddo; I’m 31 going on 87 ha. My left hip is replaced and my bladder is removed; I have kidney stents and chronic back pain AND beds are super expensive :’) I have no money for one currently. I’m doing my best to get a part time job where my needs can be accommodated (not physical labor, can sit when I need to). I’ve worked in the hospitality industry for years but haven’t seen a lot of openings for it around here.

Anyway - I share an apartment with an amazing friend but she doesn’t get to even use her living room at the moment seeing as my little dog and I sleep on her couch both day and night depending on the severity of my symptoms at that time.

Thanks so much for reading, I appreciate it. Please feel free to share this with anyone you think could help. I don’t care what size of bed as long as it’s not massive. Twin or full is preferred but beggars can’t be choosers!

Thank you again. Take good care of yourselves. ♥️
