I can't afford my blood thinners.

2 Upvotes

Hello everyone. My name is Joseph. I'm having a horrible few months. I've lost my job. I'm almost homeless. My hateful ex made some phone calls and had my food assistance cut off. Just because she could. These things I can get by with if I have to. But I have not had any side work for a week at this point and I cannot even afford to pay the small amount of money for my medicine. It's a whole 17 dollars and change. I've asked my doctor if I could go without them long enough to find some way to make the money legitimately. I do have a bad past and it's so easy to just go do something and come up with some money but I never want to do that again. My doctor said i could have a blood clot among many other bad things. Along with having to go to the emergency room to be monitored the whole time once I start taking them to make sure I don't go away from internal bleeding or other things. I've already had a blood clot in my lung and... It's scary. I've already run out of my medicine yesterday. I would be Forever Thankful to anyone and for any help. No matter how small the amount it all adds up quickly. I really don't need a lot but to me, right now, it could have serious consequences if I don't try. I don't like to ask for help without providing some service, rake some leaves, cut some grass, replace brake pads Etc. I'm a mechanic by trade and I'm knowledgeable with anything mechanical or electronic. This is probably not any help to anyone but I'm getting anxious and scared and while typing I forgot momentarily about the ticking clock. Again anything will help. It all adds up. I would be one closer to getting my prescription filled. Thank you all for taking the time to read my post regardless if you can help or not. I Hope You Are All Having A Great Day/Night! If there is anything I can help someone with don't hesitate to reach out and ask me...I don't have a lot but I don't mind if it's something I can make happen. Even if you just need to chat sometimes. I'm not the most interesting person but if I can help I will.

Be My Eyes App - volunteer for the blind and low vision users

3 Upvotes

This app connects blind and low vision users with sighted volunteers (like yourself) or company representatives for visual assistance through a live video call. When a call is answered, a live one-way video (two-way audio) is initiated, allowing you as a volunteer to see what’s in front of the user’s camera and provide verbal support.

Here are some examples of common ways people use Be My Eyes:

Finding lost or dropped items Matching or explaining colors Distinguishing between food items Reading labels on household products Identifying the expiration date on perishable food Shopping in supermarkets Reading on computer screens if a website is inaccessible or screen readers are not available Navigating unfamiliar surroundings Reading departure or arrival times of public transportation Describing pictures, paintings or other pieces of artwork.

What a great way to contribute your time towards helping those in need.

(I came to know of this app through another Reddit user's post.)

Seeking virtual literacy tutors for kids 5-8

1 Upvotes

Hello all,

I work for a Detroit-based non-profit called Brilliant Detroit. Our mission is to create what we call Kid Success Neighborhoods - communities where kids 0-8 have everything they need to be safe, healthy, and school-ready. Our locations are rehabilitated houses that serve as "micro community centers" in the neighborhoods in which they are located. We currently have thirteen sites in Detroit where we offer programming.

We know that child literacy is a key indicator of success later in life. Therefore, Brilliant Detroit puts a strong emphasis on early child literacy programs. We work with several partners to provide literacy instruction to students K-3. We are seeking new volunteers who can support our virtual summer literacy programs from July 11th-August 19th. We will also be offering tutoring during the school year starting in the fall.

Our virtual literacy programs meet twice a week for 30-45 minutes. All of our literacy tutoring programs operate within the window of 3:30-7pm from Monday to Thursday with a variety of start times in that range. We ask that volunteers commit to a certain day and time slot every week. Consistency has shown to make a huge impact on our students' literacy and confidence!

To become a tutor, one must attend a program training, pass a background check (we cover the cost), and attend a Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion training. If anyone would like to serve as a virtual tutor, I am happy to answer any questions or get you started with the onboarding process. More information about Brilliant Detroit and our tutoring programs can be found at https://brilliantdetroit.galaxydigital.com/tutor

University of Oxford Research Study

1 Upvotes

Can you help us? We are researchers from the Clinical Psychology Department at The University of Oxford, and we are interested in learning more about the link between difficult interpersonal memories and emotional responses.

We are interested in hearing from people who identify as having obsessional and compulsive problems, and those without current experiences of mental health difficulties. 

We are hoping to develop a deeper understanding of factors that may contribute to distress in this area, with the hope of tailoring and improving treatments for these individuals.

We are looking for volunteers aged 18 years and over. Participating in the research will take approximately 1 hour, and will involve a short telephone discussion, an experimental task via video, and completion of some questionnaires.

If you are interested and would like more information, please click on the link below. To register your interest or for further information, please contact [sam.french@hmc.ox.ac.uk](mailto:sam.french@hmc.ox.ac.uk).

Help us to provide functioning emergency vehicles, radios, equipment, supplies, training, and uniforms to communities that need help.

1 Upvotes

We ( the Emergency Services Aid Charity, or ESAC) will travel from the UK, France, Germany, and Spain through the North West of the African continent, all the way to the capital of The Gambia, Banjul, to deliver ambulances, fire engines, fire and rescue equipment, and vital medical equipment and supplies to the communities of The Gambia. This will be happening in September 2022.

The ESAC intends to provide functioning emergency vehicles, radios, equipment, supplies, training, and uniforms to communities that need help. To help this emerging but impoverished nation on the west coast of Africa, September 2022 is the turn of The Gambia. This mission is called Op ZEPHYR.

We have decided to help end the suffering and unnecessary deaths caused by the absence of any form of ambulance service or fire and rescue service in The Gambia. We are absolutely resolved to do something about it.

The levels of infant mortality in The Gambia, the 7th highest globally, are unacceptably high and are ranked among the highest in Africa. UNICEF state that, on average, over 1 in 20 children between one month and five years of age die, and 1 in 5 newborns will die within the first 4 weeks of life. These figures are even higher in rural areas. The manner of those deaths for mother and child do not bear thinking about.

Additionally, the number of deaths and amputations due to late presentation of infected fractures and other wounds is unbelievably high. Amputations are unfortunately common and are even deemed “convenient” as travel for aftercare in hospital is impossible for complicated injuries due to the lack of suitable transport.

Please help us by sharing our social media, or even providing donations, to help us fund the vehicles, equipment, and transport costs, for this extremely worthwhile mission.

Hello! I am on a team of master's students studying Human Centered Design and Engineering at the University of Washington interested in learning more about volunteering for hunger-focused organizations. More specifically, we are interested in how volunteers experience the orientation and training processes these organizations offer, and how they might be improved to ultimately better the experience for volunteers, staff, and clients of the organization. Thank you!

Remote & in person volunteering opportunities!

4 Upvotes

Hello everyone! I am an organizer with Rideshare2Vote. We are a PAC that offers free round trips to the polls as well as providing get out the vote programs targeting low-propensity/inactive voters in marginalized and disenfranchised communities across the USA. We found that we’ve been able to change the voting behavior of many low-propensity voters after we offered them a free ride to the polls.

We are not the first organization to offer free trips to the polls, but we are one of the only organizations whose data and strategy is geared towards turning out the vote among low-propensity voters. Rideshare2Vote was founded in 2018 in Dallas, Texas, but our outreach model’s success has allowed us to spread to 6 states in the span of 3 years. We plan to be operating in 11 states by the end of 2022.

We offer both remote and in person volunteer opportunities. We are looking for volunteers who can help us with phone and text banking, data mining, content creation, and many more remote opportunities. We are also looking for volunteer drivers, canvassers, lit droppers, and volunteers who can help us at events.

We also offer the same opportunities through our nonpartisan arm - Rideshare2Vote Aware.

Here is a link to our nonprofit website: Home - Rideshare2Vote Aware
