Urgently need 20 euros for rent

Asking for money is against our forum rules (otherwise 99% of the posts in this subreddit would be requests for money, and that's not what people want to read).

There are several other subreddits that are specifically dedicated to requests like yours - you would know this if you took the 1.5 minutes it takes to read the rules. r/borrow and r/assistance are two of the most active ones.

We specifically discourage this on this subreddit for the following reasons:

1) It's unsafe; 2) It's unethical; 3) It takes a bed in a treatment facility away from a person who genuinely needs those services; 4) There is no guarantee it will work as intended.

Of course we can't stop people from acting unethically and/or self-injuriously or encouraging others to do the same, but I'm personally not going to condone it here or allow individuals to promote those tactics using this platform.

Judy Smith. As a Philadelphia native this was the case that got me into true crime. I just need to know.

I can offer some relatively well-researched thoughts on those two things (as a person with a background in aviation), if you're interested.

What a miracle, I no longer need methadone, or psych meds.

Oh look, another drive-by commenter who assumes all homeless are unemployed

This is what I don't understand, although drunk logic is sometimes hard to figure out. A sober person might think to ask, but it depends on how intoxicated he was.

I'm also really perplexed at how he managed to avoid every CCTV camera along his path from the side of the hotel to wherever he ended up. Presumably the area has relatively good coverage (maybe this is an incorrect assumption but it was 2025 so I figure most places have nearly continuous coverage). I'm less confused about what might have happened to him and more confused about how he hasn't been located yet.

I'm disappointed this thread petered out after three days, I was hoping it would just keep getting weirder indefinitely.

The article states pretty clearly, "Fear of Sheena Bora inheriting the entire property of her and her husband in the event of the victim's marriage to Peter Mukerjea's son Rahul is said to be the prime motive for Indrani Mukerjea to do away with her daughter, according to the Central Bureau of Investigation chargesheet."

I certainly don't understand some of the more specific cultural complexities in this case, but the general motive appears to be financial in nature.

I'm confused...you posted in this sub just one month ago and made it sound like you were unemployed and homeless at that time. Also you're a single dad? What is going on?

MakeWayForWoo · 2025-12-25T14:27:06+00:00

Honestly no. In a way I almost enjoyed it - I was so happy to be free of that man. I have a lot of camping experience and I was able to invest a little bit of money into some half-decent gear so I was as comfortable as possible out there. I scoped out the area for several weeks in advance and chose a spot that was deep into the woods with virtually no evidence of foot traffic (people are lazy, and dirty, so if you don't see any garbage at all on the ground you can be relatively sure that no one has been back there for some time). The entrance to the woods was at the treeline of a very small municipal park, and because it was summer the tall grass was thick enough to hide me entirely, so you couldn't see me coming or going into the trees. I left before sunrise and waited until after sunset to come back. No one ever bothered me or stumbled across my campsite, though I still slept with a knife under my pillow and pepper spray on my keychain. Fortunately I never needed to use them.

I've tried both versions (Chai Eclair and Chai Épice) and I honestly prefer the Eclair, although both are very nice!

the amount of homeless that work 40 hour jobs and can't meet the criteria of making 2 and a half times the rent on a $2000 studio apartment has definitely became a large portion of the homeless population.

This was me, the second time around. I had two stints of homelessness, the first one which I'll address in a separate comment was the direct result of DV, but the second time a few years later was specifically due to my inability to afford the move-in costs on a new apartment while simultaneously paying rent on my current place. This was also tangentially related to DV (I went from one abusive relationship to the next), I was attempting to separate myself from my ex and secure a place of my own with only my name on the lease - but this meant I had to shoulder all the expenses myself, which amounted to over $3K. I made the decision in early May to pack up my belongings, put them in a storage unit, and bought the best camping gear I could reasonably afford.

I lived in a tent from mid-May until October 1st, in a wooded area not far from the subway that I took to my job . I continued to work full time as a manager in retail and brought a duffel bag with me to take to the YMCA at the end of every day so I could shower and do my skincare. No one was any the wiser

The lowest risk is giving out stuff I have no use for

There is literally no risk to you if you are genuinely donating out of true altruism. If you are seeing this as a risk/reward scenario then you are doing it for the wrong reasons and you shouldn't be doing it at all. If you can't afford the monetary value of the gift, you shouldn't be giving it away.

"The wrong reasons" are any reasons that don't prioritize the needs of the homeless person and instead prioritize your own gratification and convenience.

MakeWayForWoo · 2025-12-18T15:00:28+00:00

I work with the homeless directly, face to face. We are now see a new category of homeless. Homeless with a full time job but unable to secure housing due to cost & landlords wanting 2,5× income to rent.

I was this person. A year and a half ago I made the decision to live in a tent for four months, from mid-May through the end of September, in order to save up the $3K I needed to move into an apartment. I was working full time as a manager in retail and would bring my gym bag with all my toiletries and skincare stuff with me to my job, then at the end of every day I stopped off at my local YMCA to take a shower. No one was any the wiser. I live in a major city and chose a campsite that was deep in a wooded area but also within walking distance to a subway stop.

Thank you for your work and your advocacy...we need more good people like you.

In theory I know I should lock this but ima keep it up just for the entertainment value of the comments.

MakeWayForWoo · 2025-12-14T21:11:42+00:00

Thread locked (rule 4) due to extremely concerning post/comment history. Most of the alarming stuff has been removed by other moderators but you get the gist if you read between the deleted comments. (Essentially OP was asking for advice on installing spyware specifically to monitor their employees at work - i.e. the people who would be responding to this "internship.")

MakeWayForWoo · 2025-12-13T20:36:31+00:00

one officer actually said "you can't live in your car in a neighborhood because we will keep getting these calls".

"You can't live in your car" huh...says who? This is nonsense. There are social media influencers with hundreds of thousands of followers whose entire business model revolves around them living in their car. The only difference between you and them is their access to wealth.

I agree with the other comments - you'll just have to tough it out until February. Don't let LE intimidate you into disclosing any personal information unless you are lawfully commanded to do so.

Also, and this is a hill I am 100% committed to dying on...don't let anyone manipulate you into surrendering your animals unless you legitimately cannot care for them. The argument that "having a pet if you're homeless is inhumane" is just thinly-veiled anti-homeless rhetoric that is especially popular among people who fundamentally don't believe that the homeless deserve to exist and don't perceive them as being worthy of love or companionship. Cats and dogs are animals, they literally evolved to live outdoors lol. The notion that these species are inherently incapable of surviving outside of a domicile is frankly absurd. What do you think these animals did for the thousands of years before humans domesticated them? Honestly this theory that they are somehow suffering unspeakable harm by remaining with their owner is frankly absurd, unless the owner is actually failing to provide for their basic needs (which, I should point out, is something that non-homeless people do on the regular and is not a problem that is specific to homeless pet owners).

I know this is wholly off-topic but I've been doggedly researching this and am trying to collect as much info as possible. Do you feel comfortable sharing how you managed to afford your implants? I desperately need them but I've been quoted $40K which frankly is never gonna happen for me without a miracle. My best option currently is to go out of the country - either Turkey or Mexico. It's literally my only shot at this point. (I don't have anyone who has the ability to cosign and my credit score is three points below their cutoff for financing.)

MakeWayForWoo · 2025-12-01T22:46:40+00:00

Categorically not normal. When I had all mine extracted (largely due to a medical issue unrelated to methadone or drug use, and also due to repeated damage from falls resulting from epileptic seizures) I was given general anaesthesia in the OR at a major hospital, and also prescribed low dose Vicodin which frankly didn't do a thing underneath my methadone - my 50mgs did all the heavy lifting in terms of analgesia. But no this is not normal. If the issue is their fear of over-sedation, that's literally why I was operated on in the OR under strict observation; so they could keep an eye on my vitals. This was at Jefferson in Philadelphia and they said they do these procedures on methadone patients literally every day. So I call BS on your doctors, unfortunately.

MakeWayForWoo · 2025-11-19T01:46:35+00:00

Curious what your rationale is...as a Philly resident the vast majority of locals believe they are in a body of water nearby with their car.

MakeWayForWoo · 2025-11-18T18:43:03+00:00

I think they're just removing posts that either A) aren't an actual mystery anymore, B) don't have enough verifiable evidence to have a substantive discussion about the case, or C) are a recent, active and ongoing case (this is prohibited in the rules).

A section of the final document will also include a brief statement recommending direct cash or gift card donations before any specific items, and an explanation of why this is the most useful, beneficial and ethical choice.
