As I’ve mentioned on here before, I’m a stroke and cancer patient going through a benefit appeal. My post history has more information. I have no way to keep myself fed other than your help. My posts on here often get ignored. I know there are war refugees and other people in more desperate situations so I understand. But I don’t have any other choice but to keep asking.

It’s dangerous for me to accept actual money, as it could get me in trouble with the DWP (British benefit nazis). So I tend to ask for supermarket vouchers. Maybe this is why I get so few responses. Maybe people think it’s difficult to do this? You don’t have to be in the UK. They email the food voucher straight to me. It will only take a minute.

That one is probably the easiest but there’s another one:

If it’s too difficult or doesn’t work I will gladly accept any other type of gift card that can buy food. Justeat, amazon, another supermarket.

When I speak about my difficulties in other threads, people keep advising me to keep posting for help here on mutual aid. But when I do, it’s so difficult to get responses.

I wonder if including an email folks can use in your posts would help with traction. I know I’ve personally only felt comfortable providing aid when an email/cashapp/paypal is in the post (I dont always get lenmy notifications in a timely fashion, so I tend to avoid starting a conversation if it needs to happen quickly).

Of course, feel free to use an alt or burner email for privacy.

I hope we can get you some food comrade

When I click either link, it resets to a blank “fill in the details” sheet.

This is a problem because the details it requires are your name + email address.

I assume the link provided is supposed to have those saved, but that’s not appearing for me. It defaults to the normal page. This may be why you’re struggling with getting anything through this approach?

Sorry, I just added another one that might be easier: https://www.sainsburysgiftcard.co.uk/

I would really love to use this but after a quick test it gives the entire name and address of the sender to the recipient. The biggest barrier to receiving here you’re going to get is maintaining the anonymity of the sender.

I’ve previously received a gift card from someone on https://www.sainsburysgiftcard.co.uk/ and prezzee, and neither gave me either the recipient’s name or address. You can put any name you want in. The person who previously sent me one just put “from a friend.” I have no idea who they are.

Total Donations: $3,344.65

RULES:

    1. Mods do not vet individual mutual aid requests. Donate at your own risk and hold each other accountable. If you see something even remotely suspicious, do not hesitate to bring it to the attention of a moderator for review.
    1. All mutual aid requests must go in this community.
    1. Do not request donations for funding anything explicitly illegal.
    1. Sending censored donation receipts to the moderator team is based.
    1. Moderator Pinning Rules:

    a. Moderators are strictly prohibited from promoting/endorsing/pinning individual mutual aid requests (especially those of their own) as this creates unfair post visibility and could therefore benefit more from that than the standard user. Moderators caught engaging in this behavior will be swiftly removed from the moderator board with extreme prejudice.

    b. Moderators are allowed to pin and crosspost to !main donation requests for large scope issues such as natural disaster relief funds and bail funds (Example) along with other crowd or moderator compiled informational resources pertaining to donating or volunteering (Example) so long as the utmost due diligence is done prior to endorsement, especially in the case of directing people to donate to non-profit organizations.

    c. Financial documents of non-profit organizations available to the public must be heavily scrutinized before moderator endorsement and links to those must also be included in the endorsement post to help the community make their own decision as to whether or not they should donate.
