I've reached $150, thank you! This is enough for groceries, BUT I have to keep it aside for rent first.

Can anyone else help me out tonight? Every bit helps, and I've just been hit by another parent dying, so please consider helping me get ahead instead of panicking?

Falco’s livelihood is always precarious, and now they just lost both parents in a very short timespan. The last thing they need to worry about is scrambling for rent. Let’s help ease the pain a bit?

Falco needs help with rent and food. He’s had a rough go of things, so one easier weekend without deadline panic would mean a lot.

Friends, can you imagine what it's like to be running out of food. To go: "I have enough to do a grocery run, but I can't spend it yet because I can't risk not having enough for rent."
Can we get Falco enough to cover both?
If you can help, with cash, shares etc? πŸ’ΈπŸ’•

$20 closer, thank you! This lands me at the grocery total I need, but I *must* prioritize rent first, so that's $550 away from rent.

Can anyone else chip in tonight? Anything helps- could you match that $20?

And please keep sharing!

Some people think that adults who like toys and stories designed for kids are predators.

But how many toys and stories for kids are MADE by kids? (Barring illegal sweatshop shit.)

I also don't trust a parent who acts like they can't enjoy what their kid watches. Not only does it create an artificial divide between generations, it makes the kid feel like the parent is ashamed of them and like they have to only enjoy grown-up stuff at FAR too early an age.

It's totally fair if you don't like EVERYTHING your kid watches. Or if you need a freaking break to watch movies YOU want to watch. But it is a *really* bad idea to shame your kid for being a fricking kid.
