who am I kidding, I can't afford pride anymore

[maevele]

I guess since this is the first unlocked post, i should include some background. My husband's temper finally went critical and physical and he's out of the house. he says he'll keep paying rent but he also is using that as an excuse for why he should stay here and can't get his own place, and I can't be dependent on him or I might take him back just because not having rent money might be scarier than he is. So I'm asking for donations, even from strangers on the internet, because I would rather be dependent on strangers than him right now. Feel free to link or whatever. Anything will help keep him out of my house. Thank you ETA Thank all of you so so much. I now have enough to cover this month. hell if I know what next month will bring, but I'm breathing fee for now. Blessings of whatever stripe you like on all y'all.

bad html!

[maevele]

thanks, got it fixed.

Hi bb. I can't afford to help right now at all, but I've been there and if you want to talk, I'm here. ♥

[dancesontrains]

I have no money to give, and my begging has been for very different reasons than this, but fuck I know losing pride. ♥

[(Anonymous)]

I don't get paid until tomorrow but I'll donate as much as I can.

[ex_rising236]

I'm not able to donate, but I've signal boosted to my own journal, and to Twitter, and I'm sending enormous good wishes your way.

[asterial]

Donating what I can, boosting your signal.

And I know this is an incredibly stressful and horrible time in your life, but --

You are incredibly freaking brave to stand up to him like this. You Go GRRRRL!

[chiral]

Here via Sapphrikah's tumblr. Donated all I can spare. Good luck to you.

[rydra_wong]

Signal-boosted.

[spiralsheep]

Stay strong sister.

[ilyena_sylph]

Hang in there.

[recessional]

Here via rydra_wong, tipped in what I can.

If it helps, I don't think there's any loss of pride inherent in asking for help like this. I think it shows great strength to know that you are worth the help of anyone who can, to keep yourself safe.

[maevele]

thank you. I am in tears over the support the people are showing.

[not_a_sniglet]

We found your post via a signal boost from someone else. Just wanted you to know that we'll be signal-boosting. We can't donate anything monetarily as much as we so much wish we could. But we will post this everywhere we can post it. But we had a question. Do you have any problem with us tweeting this? We've got a huge follower list and it could help get the word out.

We'll post it to our journal anyhow, which crossposts over to LJ, so the word will get further. Just poke us back and tell us if we can tweet this.

Also, we wish you the best of luck and you're in our thoughts and prayers.

[not_a_sniglet]

Oh. And we'll tumble it too. None of us have very large followerlists on Tumblr but the person with the largest following will post it over there.

[maevele]

please go ahead and tweet it. I've tweeted it, but my twitter is my smallest online presence, i think.

[delight]

Via bulhana; I have nothing to give but my ability to spread words, and I am spreading them far and wide.

[maevele]

thank you. it helps so much just to know people are behind me

[sophie]

Have donated. I've also tweeted it on Twitter, if anybody want to retweet it: http://twitter.com/sophira/status/84476452313108483

[maevele]

thank you. so much

[shanaqui]

Haven't got much to spare, but I sent you a little something, and I'll retweet one of the links that sent me here. Good luck.

[gorramwolf]

Here via delight on DW, boosting the signal across twitter, dw, lj and ij. Hope it helps.

[gloss]

Chipped in (far less than I wish I could) and reblogged on Tumblr. ♥

[silver_x_cross]

Here via GW/~whitescarab. Can't afford much, but have sent what I could. I think you should be proud of yourself for asking for help. I wish you all the luck in the world.

[surpassingly]

Here via several posts on my reading list. I haven't much to spare because I am saving for some... difficult possibilities, I'm sorry; but I will give what I can. If you need more help in the future I will also do my best to contribute. Please know you are in my thoughts and prayers.

[nevermore666.livejournal.com]

I'm here via a LJ friend, just wanting to let you know that I've tweeted your request and will be putting it on tumblr. It's all the help I can provide right now. I hope you get what you need to keep him out of your life.

[buria_q]

good luck with everything. i'm unemployed and it'll only be a little but i hope it helps.

[viklikesfic]

Here via my partner amadi's tumblr. Could only do a little bit from my own freelance money, but I reblogged and wish you the best of luck and send many hugs. I guess it's funny to say this coming from a donation plea and you having such a hard time, but I looked at your interests and they made me smile a lot. I'm genderqueer and don't have many genderqueer friends. *sends support and good vibes*

[highlyeccentric]

I haven't much to share right now, but I wish you the best of luck with getting money together.

[toft]

Saw this via signal boost. Best of luck.

[icecreamempress.livejournal.com]

So terribly sorry. Doing what I can to help--I wish it could be more--and glad to be able to do something. My thoughts are with you.

[tbonejenkins]

Boosted the signal on Twitter. Keeping you in my thoughts.

[wendelah1]

Here via a link from--I have no idea where. I have given you a little money but I have concern that even with him gone, staying in this apartment may not be enough to keep you safe. That's all.

Peace,

Wendy

I think he's realized this is his shit and not mine enough that I'm not in physical danger from him at this point. Most of his abuse was verbal and emotional, not physical, and now most of it has turned inward. Also, I've already spoken to my landlord about subletting if it comes down to needing to move out of here. I have a lot of backup right in my neighborhood if shit ever got really ugly, because it's the kind o neighborhood where people are in people's business and I know all of my neighbors. Some of them a little too well, and they're all keeping an eye out.

[chomiji]

You don't know me from Eve, but you're a friend of several friends. I've sent you some - I have, you need it, end of story.

[maevele]

thank you. I'm again getting all weepy from the support of people I don't even know.

[pameladean]

Here via ginmar. I saw the ETA, but figured breathing freer for longer was good.

P.

[maevele]

Thank you. I believe you and I met briefly at wiscon this year?

[pameladean]

Were you using your DW name? It does ring a faint bell. Can you jog my memory of the occasion? I need new glasses and was sleep-deprived all weekend, so I don't have my new acquaintances in good order.

P.

[maevele]

Yes, I was using this name. We didn't talk much, we were just briefly introduced at the fairyland party. It was loud and crowded, but I was pleased to meet you.

[pameladean]

That's what I thought. That was one heck of a party. I'm sorry I didn't remember your name when Gin linked to you, but pleased to be acquainted in a less noisy environment.

P.

[alexseanchai]

Payday's Friday. I'm keeping this tab open till then, so I remember to throw money at you when I have money to throw.
