DH is an old friend and fellow Kentuckian who, like many, has found himself in a rough patch because of Covid. He is one of those who has fallen between the cracks, unable to receive any stimulus payments. Currently, they are telling him that he has to prove his identity; when he sent a copy of his ID, they told him that might be sufficient but it might be 2 months before he gets his checks. Guvmint, hmph. Of course, he has been fighting this fight since $Rump and his minions were doing that thing they called governing. DH has been here a while, but isn’t a diary writer; rather, a reader and commenter, mostly participating in community diaries and being helpful, as you can see here, www.dailykos.com/…
Now it’s our turn to be a helpful community for DH and his pooties. He has moratoriums on eviction and utility cutoff, but needs to make current and back payments before those moratoria end. No one is giving him certain deadlines, but presumably they will want their money very soon. He is being as frugal as possible, but has basically run out of money. He has two cats that he is considering rehoming in case he becomes homeless, and of course we hate to see anyone and their buddies go through such separations. He does not have pootie photos because he does not have a good camera; but one is black, and you know how difficult they can be to photograph even with a good camera (as above).
So, can you please help DH? We have found from previous fundraisers that most donors do not give much, and that’s fine — as they say, “Many a mickle makes a muckle”. Whatever you can spare will be greatly appreciated. Fortunately, Kentucky is a low-cost state, so $3400 would be enough to pay back and current bills, and provide living expenses until the next stimulus check, assuming that by then he will have his identity verified. He hates to ask for help, but a few of us encouraged him to do so.
Thank you all! Please feel free to post fun photos and music in the Comments, to help us keep up the interest. Let’s celebrate and get this done! DH’s email address for PayPal is dharden40219@yahoo.com When you “send to a friend,” PayPal takes no fee. Below are a few of DH’s own words. Thanks again!
