unfortunately i’m in the same boat until thursday when my paycheck hits so i do not have anything i can donate, but plasma donation can be very handy if you have a center in your area! they give you $100+ each for your first two donations, between $60-90 for each additional donation, and you can go up to twice a week. i’ve been going consistently for 3 years and i’ve only ever had 1 bad encounter.

eat? i haven't aten in a couple days, and when i did it was just rice and my stomach is killing me. i know everyone is going through their own shit, so obviously no worries if not. i just thought i'd try my luck within my community

i have extremely high blood pressure and really low iron. i’m on iron supplements now but they ran out so i still don’t think i’d qualify, it was a couple days ago when they told me i couldn’t do it

Do you have any friends in college that could possibly find some resources for you? Or any shelters near you where you could go and ask the employees if they have any suggested resources?
