This is before meds, and before the building maintenance fee landing this month. Monthly pledges are the most sustainable way to support this. One-off contributions also help. Sharing this post costs nothing and extends reach beyond exhausted circles.
This keeps me fed, medicated, and able to sustain the mutual aid infrastructure and writing I've been building. The work continues either way. It's just harder when I'm hungry. Support links in bio / QR code on the poster.
Mutual Aid Checkpoint Roundup 27/05/2026
I’ve listed mutual aid requests from this week’s checkpoint that need urgent support: rent, food, medicine, utilities, and everything else that enables people to live with dignity. Please read through, support directly, share requests that still need movement, or boost this post far and wide so they can move beyond one feed and reach people who can help.
Again, this is a roundup of the first 10 requests shared under the previous Friday mutual aid checkpoint on my main profile, @wrzky@kolektiva.social
Give directly if possible, boost each request and this post, and see you next week.

This mutual aid checkpoint roundup gathers urgent requests from the week, including direct appeals and Palestinian campaign spotlights. Support what is possible, contribute where able, and circulate the original requests so help can move beyond exhausted circles.
