GOAL REACHED, THANK YOU
(470/600)
Need $130 by July 1! EMERGENCY!!
We're living off one set of meager benefits that don't cover the bills, let alone med and grocery. Being disabled and poor is very, very expensive, and we need to survive. We can't do this alone.
You can help!
Please give if you can, and boost, we're dangerously close to the end of the month.
Thank you for reading.

The Supreme Court ruled Friday that the government's cuts to welfare benefits between 2013 and 2015 were unlawful, marking a significant victory for welfare recipients. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/06/27/japan/crime-legal/welfare-benefits-cuts-ruled-unlawful/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #japan #crimelegal #socialwelfare #japanesecourts #poverty
More than a dozen borrowers told the Tennessee Lookout and ProPublica that Advance Financial encouraged them to borrow more money after making minimum payments.
The lender went on to sue them once they couldn’t pay back the loan.
