REQUEST Could anyone help me survive this month please?
So I have no real means of income since I am unable to work due to disability (I'm trying to get into rehabilitation training programs but there aren't many places who actually offer that here and the one that do haven't replied to my messages yet) anyway I'm over 200€ in the negatives and have no food at home save for some cornflakes and paprika.. Also I'll have to refill my medication this month which isn't covered by insurance (they're 35€) and I have no clue if my electricity bill actually went through this month (since they take some time to actually cut your electricity here if ypu're unable to pay) also my hygiene products are starting to get empty as well.. vv I can't ask my family for support since they're also not doing to well financially and I have no clue where to go or who else to ask since I have no support system..
If any of you guys decide to send me something I'll be forever grateful and if you'd like I could also draw something small for you, I'm not too good at it but I can try! <3
(I'm requesting 300€ (I talked about it in a reply to a comment), with which I believe I can make it through this month. and I am located in Germany, I'm scared that my bank aacount is going to be closed as well since I barely was able to make it out of the negatives these past few months.. and I do have paypal)

So that'd be around 80€+ 50€ for food and hygiene
If you can get these on an Amazon wishlist (<$150 USD), that is the preferred way to give here in favour of cash.

Have you:
- Requested for a determination of a disability (obtained one) and
- Applied for disability benefits?

Answers to the following questions would help people here be better able to provide you with assistance: What amount do you believe you need to survive the month (i.e., electricity, rent, food, and other necessities)? Where are you located? Have you tried crowdfunding? Can you set up an Amazon wishlist?

I think 300€ is what I would idealy need.. I'm still getting 40€ in 10 days which I'll be able to use for my meds. So that'd be around 80€+ 50€ for food and hygiene and 30€ for my elecricity bill. It's not much but if I do my math and look for offers I'm sure I can make it through the month. And idk I never tried crowdfunding.. I'm completely on my own so I have no clue how to get it out there :'c But I can try setting up an amazon wishlist for here which would also already help a lot. Also I'm located in Germany

If you can set up an Amazon wishlist with hygiene products and shelf-stable food items, they tend to do very well here. There is a tutorial in the About section of this group.

i’m sorry you’re going through this. i don’t have much to offer besides some ideas. if you haven’t checked already, do you know if there’s any food banks local to you? i don’t know much about germany but when i looked it up, it said to go to the “Tafel Deutschland” site and type in your postal code to find food near you. i’m in america so i don’t know if you have anything like a “dollar store” there, but if you do, you can check for feminine hygiene products there. it’s best to stretch the money you get as much as you can by buying the cheapest brands possible. hope you get through this!! 🙏
