I know some people have asked for help here before.....

[chillfactor]

and about 2 years ago. when I was able, I helped a DUer and I got taken for a ride....

and now I need help

I am 73 years old and disabled ... I am out of propane and I have no hot water..... what i need is $269.00 to get propane and get the hot water tank lighted again as well as the furnace. If you can help this old soul, the help will be appreciated. If you can help, send me a DU mail.....I have a paypal account so any pennies can go into that account...and I would thank you from the bottom of my heart.

1. Have you considered setting up a GoFundMe account?

DUers have done that in the past with a lot of success. Here's one that I bookmarked:

2. I wish I could

I know how humiliating it is to ask for help when you're poor and desperate. With what I've been going through more than ever before it crushes me that I can't help anyone any more than I can my own self.

I so hope that you'll get the help you need and quickly. I'm just so sorry that I have nothing at all to help since I just have nothing at all, and in only a few days nothing but the shirt on my back. I don't even think I'll be able to be here even in my last few days that I still have a computer to even help to just kick your thread. I'll try though. But I hope I won't even have to because you'll have already gotten the help you need by then and some extra so you'll have something to use for something else or just to keep by in case you need it for something that may come up.

Know that my heart is fully in your corner. Bless you.

5. Sorry to read this TTW!

I was hoping things had improved for you but I guess not.

I do not know what else to say except HANG-IN there please!

& recommend.

14. Torch, do you need help with funds?

I can chip in a modest amount. Our dollar is so low right now but I will try to help. Am sick and tired of giving to charities whose CEO's earn over three figure numbers. Done with that!

[TorchTheWitch]

16. yup, more desperately than you can imagine

and it gets WAY worse, but I don't want to hijack the thread, so after I try to get some sleep again for a few hours anyway, I'll do an OP.

Thank you sooooo much for wanting to help! After the flaying I got before for no damn reason on earth I would rather be shot in the head than go through that again. I've been a hair away from taking myself out of this epic nightmare life for awhile, and that filth again would do it.

17. Hi Torch, you can always send me a private message

and I will try my best to help. You don't need to ask publicly.

Keep well and I hope you had a good 4th July.

Best regards
