Hi guys! I am posting for @Cobaltasaurus this time. We all go through rough patches, and she is going through one right now. So, one more opportunity to earn your MSB cares badge and donate to help someone who has done a lot for our community.
The go fund me has all of the information, but in the tl;dr of her own words: I lost the job that was keeping me afloat with a week's notice, spent everything I had moving across the country so I wouldn't end up stranded/homeless in December. Have new job lined up (delivery) but need to get my insurance transferred (apparently car insurance is per state :/), and get it registered, and I don't have the funds to do that. Need Money > Get Job > Need Money For Job. >_<

Thanks for this, @Meg. I don't get to talk to her much, but say hi to Cobalt for me. She was nice enough to give me the last shot at keeping Dark Water alive.

Again to anyone who has helped Cobalt out in this pinch let me know if you need any code help. I will be quite happy to.

Literally funded before I got a chance to put money in it.

Just got word from @Cobaltasaurus! She is so very thankful to you all, and thanks to everyone's contributions, her car is registered and insured, and she starts onboarding at her new job tomorrow!
Seriously, you guys rock.

Aah, reset password works now!
Thank you everyone so much! You're amazing and wonderful.

If anyone wants to know: I started the new job today. (If you don’t know it’s pizza delivery which isn’t super glam but will help me be independent while I work on getting into UAB and apply for internships with places like Lockheed-Martin).
Mostly did paperwork and then rode along with a driver with experience. Got asked if I smoke yayo by a dude in a parking lot!

@cobaltasaurus Delivery work can get you by, I've done it before as well. You might want to see if Amazon Flex is open in your area, if you can get in it's an easy 75$ a day with a normal 4 door sedan style car for about 4 hours work.

Unimportant. If it's paying your bills and other costs of living, even some of the way? Then it's worth it. You clearly have a plan for the path forward, so you're better off than many people. Good luck. You got this.

Well, there's also Uber Eats, right? I mean, hopefully, where you're at.

When on campus, I admit to having an addiction to places that will deliver to whatever room I am in. Which is pretty much all of them.
The market is definitely there.
