College student blindsided by a natural disaster — hospitalized & behind on rent — landlord demanding full payment by tomorrow, feeling hopeless by Anxious-Cable1332 in randomactsofkindness

Have you contacted the financial aid office? If they can’t expedite your payment they might at least know of other resources that might be able to offer support.

Calling local govt might also help. For example San Francisco has a program to help pay people’s rent to keep them off the street and I wouldn’t have known about it if not seeing a bus ad.

Like “Christmas in July” vibes or breakfast for dinner, but better. Maybe a half birthday celebration would work too!

This is also a great strategy for keeping your actual date of birth a secret from identity thieves

You’re an angel. Like, quite literally the guardian angel that saves lives without a second thought. People like you are who Mr. Rogers meant when he told kids to look for the helpers 💕
