[Meta] A unix_surrealist is asking for urgent monetary help

Sorry for writing all of this in one go, but I felt like this was so urgent I needed to say all of this before I go to bed (it is late where I live). So, in true surrealist fashion, here goes my stream of conciousness.

I'm pretty much talking about this post where mods of another Lemmy community say that jawa21 is asking for money because she doesn't have enough money to pay for her fine. If this sounds fishy, here's another mod of that community explaining a few more details.

If you don't have time to read that, here's the TLDR: jawa21 has been arrested and forced to pay a fine for arsoning (nobody knows if she actually did it, but that's not the point). She already did her jail time, but she doesn't have enough money to pay the 1k$ fine (she says she just has 40$ right now), so she will face even more jail time if no one helps her through this. She lives in the US, and as most of us already know, the prisional system has been a shitshow, specially now that they aren't even respecting people's genders. The reason why this is so urgent is because she has until tomorrow to pay or else jail!

Thought I might have shared this with you guys and gals, as she has recently posted some comics in here. If you wanna donate, the link is https://www.buymeacoffee.com/jawa21 . That is all I have to say. Have a nice day.

  • I appreciate the honest concern for a community member, but I don't know if this is exactly appropriate for this community. I'm also worried it could result in disparaging or frankly just unnecessary commentary on the situation of another.

    I'm going to lock this thread for now, and let pmjv make the executive decision.
