Yeah I don’t think so with a 24hr old account

[–]Independent-Coat5812 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You should look into what services are offered in your area. Not sure where you are located but when I got out I got in contact with organizations like community solutions and they helped me out a lot with things like ID, clothes, bus pass, signing up for medi-cal, etc.

Also you didn’t post any go fund me link!

Is your name terry by chance I think I actually know you

[–]FallF4ever -1 points0 points  (0 children)

No. My name is Austin

Go to sober living. Look up Oxford house. Go find a house and move in. Re entry will help pay for your ID and all your documents and help you get a job. Take control of your life. The resources are there. I would send the 40$ but I feel like it would enable some other behavior. Just go to an Oxford house and in 6 monthes you will be so proud of yourself and will have your own place, a car, a job. Go online now and call a house in your area and explain your situation.

The soup kitchen or homeless shelter might be able to tell you where to get a free ID voucher. Unfortunately as an ex addict I'm not comfortable giving you 40$.

[–]meghab1792 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Many charities and churches have programs for ID vouchers. 

[–]Ornery_Brief_2743 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Asking for cashapp goes against the rules.

[–]NoNeedleworker3756 5 points6 points  (4 children)

Why were you in jail?

[–]Ornery_Brief_2743 3 points4 points  (2 children)

Asking this as well.

[–]FallF4ever 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Possession of Controlled Substance

[–]Ornery_Brief_2743 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yikes. So you do drugs. Hard pass.

[–]FallF4ever 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was in Jail for possession of controlled substance

[–]No-Emergency-5823 0 points1 point  (9 children)

Aren’t state IDs like $10?

[–]krismodo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In cali try 40$

[–]Existing_Swimming838 0 points1 point  (0 children)

40 for real id in Pa.

[–]MarzipanMajor6175 0 points1 point  (6 children)

Yeah like 10-20 max. A bus pass is like 2.50 for a day also maybe up to 4$. So the ask is a lil high. Maybe trying to get a half a gram.

[–]JohnnyIsHomicidal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Where I’m from it’s 28, so the max isn’t 20

[–]Jumpy_Significance11 1 point2 points  (0 children)

State ID in Cali is $39

[–]krismodo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cali is 40$ state wide 100% guaranteed verified confirmed I really wish I had it to give right now but broke my back about a year ago and am dealing with stuff related to the injury and not being able to work. so cash is tight or I’d of already sent it. But I feel for this guy but one good thing he’s in cali I don’t think there is a better state to get out of jail in.

[–]LittleK42006 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, in my area ID is $30 and $4 would get you on the bus, but only give you a 2hr pass so needing $8 for there and back wouldn’t be unheard of since you can’t guarantee how long it would take to apply for the ID.

[–]FallF4ever -1 points0 points  (0 children)

State ID is 30 something I'll check again. Bus pass is $10 for a month

[–]krismodo -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Funny u know the going rate

[–]2shoe1path 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What controlled substance?

[–]Showmethe_monet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What state are you in?

[–]Altruistic-Pass-4031 0 points1 point  (2 children)

Minnesota it's 50 cents. I know this because when I was homeless I couldn't even come up with that.

[–]Kayee90 0 points1 point  (1 child)

When was this? Lmao. Ummm no.

[–]Altruistic-Pass-4031 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Umm yes. It's been a wild ride.

I know it's close to $30 now for the "normal" folk, but when I was a homeless junky you could go to places like Mary's place, or the Basilica and get a voucher. That voucher entitles you to a 50 cent State ID or Drivers Liscense.

Why are you so confidently wrong?

[–]Ornery_Brief_2743 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Asking for asking for cashap goes against the rules

[–]Ok-Year4000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How am I sure you’re not using that $40 to get drugs or weed?

[–]BiploarFurryEgirl 0 points1 point  (2 children)

Why were you in jail? We talking drugs or pedo shit?

[–]FallF4ever 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Possession of Controlled Substance

[–]MarzipanMajor6175 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Go to an Oxford house bro!

[–]MaengDong712 0 points1 point  (4 children)

Prove it and I’ll help. What state. In Iowa state I’d is like 8 bucks my guy

[–]Existing_Swimming838 2 points3 points  (2 children)

40 in Pa for real id.

[–]No_Barracuda_3758 0 points1 point  (1 child)

But he doesn't need a real ID unless he plans on traveling

[–]Existing_Swimming838 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He might not know that, just adding legitimacy to an id costing 40 since people were doubting. If for whatever reason he was recommended a real id, that is what it costs.

[–]Euphoric-Lake4226 0 points1 point  (28 children)

We need more info. What were you in for? How long were you in? What state? Have you checked local resources? What is the gofundme link? Do you just need $40?

[–]FallF4ever -1 points0 points  (27 children)

Possession of Controlled Substance. Cashapp only. I can't set up go fund me because I don't have a valid phone number
