(Editing to update ; I still am in need of a lot of things, welfare + massive social anxiety are huge barriers for me acquiring things I need. Though my primary need at the moment is a microwave.)

After my recent stint with homelessness, my belongings have been reduced to pretty much nil.

I have rectified my housing situation, however my apartment literally has no furniture. I am lacking a lot of basic items (I made it through the month using a knife to cut canned foods open, as an example.) My clothing and most of my belongings I had left were stolen by my previous roommate and his girlfriend when they moved out. Some friends have donated some clothing in the meantime, but I am still short of a lot of things and none of it is appropriate for job searching.

I also have need of some basic food items. It is going to be a while before I can afford to be stocked up on most items I would normally have stored in advance (dry items, canned items, I have no spices for cooking, etc.) That is made extra difficult due to food allergies (gluten/wheat/flour, aspartame, cochineal/red dyes, minor lactose issues.)

If anyone has anything they are able to donate at all, it would be greatly appreciated. I am in Windsor, so for many members getting things to me may be difficult.

Appreciated in advance. TY

goodwill/salvation army stores are great for really low-cost household item such as dishes, silverware, can openers, etc.

Thrift stores are my preferred places to shop, however I try and avoid Sally Anne due to their homophobic policies.

I really appreciate it. Ty

Books are always welcome. I need some cookware, for sure. I could use a small pot or two.

Some decor for my walls would be nice. I managed to save my Siouxsie poster and one small framed picture. Bland walls get depressing.

I am used to being on the other end of this, being the one helping people. I had been avoiding asking people for help for a long time, but eventually I just could not get anywhere without it.

I read mainly science fiction, some fantasy, lots of theological history, atheism book, sciences, and classics. I used to have a pretty massive comic book collection >.> Before everything went to poop in May.

Currently my bookshelf consists of The Iliad, The Odyssey of Homer, and Kraftwerk : I Was a Robot (Wolfgang Flur Autobiography)

The book thing is right on time. Okaasan is going through this "Clean all these out and start from basics" mood (again) and I just can not personally throw out anything of written text...may I send it all to you. You can keep what appeals to you and do whatever with the rest...I'm just kinda dense when it comes to books, newspapers, manuals and the like...

New situation. Got a mattress for you that has not been used in over 5 years...been in house storage. Unfortunately, I can't bring it to you as I am currently filing to get my passport renewed. Is there anyone who can assist in this delivery or just wait until I can travel to Canada again?

I'll help out with anything I can. :rambo: I love traveling. :scooter:

P.S.: I understand about having your stuff stolen. I managed to escape my kidnapper and had to leave all my things behind. The nutjob had been registered as my legal guardian. She tried to kill me later but ended up being arrested. While I was at the police station filing the report, she drove up with the gun in her truck. The officers arrested her on the spot and walked her right inside. Weird world, huh?

      what are you doing right now? (cont'd)

      No, especially now that you told me to.   I've been done for a while anyway.  Also healthcare is a joke and I just refuse to play that game. This is my form of "quiet quitting."

      I'm not a doctor but that sounds like a major gastrointestinal problem and is one of this things that basically everyone says to get checked out immediately.   I don't know where you live but I will drag you kicking and screaming to get it checked if you don't go soon. If you die on us, I will dig up your grave and kill you a second time. Take it seriously.

      I'm sorry they suck so hard.  I'm also sorry to say that it's very likely because of how you look with all the tattoos, piercings, garb, and whatnot.  They probably thought you were there for drugs especially if there isn't anything obviously wrong (and if there was something obviously wrong like a lead pipe sticking out of your leg they might think you did that to yourself just to get drugs.) But admittedly they're a bit jaded because SO MANY people do go actually just trying to score drugs. My mother was in constant pain the last ten years of her life, and even more when the cancer showed up.  She said it was the worst pain of her life.   Pain management is a fucking joke that just isn't  and never has been funny, but they keep telling it anyway. They also can tend to be super judgy on top of the general distrust because it's a religious hospital network.  I think we're lucky they're not still trying to use leeches at this point.     You should have sued their asses.  At least it didn't diminish her quality of life longterm.   Doctors are arrogant assholes too and think that the patient doesn't know shit.  While I admit that not having seven years of medical training doesn't make us regular plebs as qualified, no one knows what's going on with the patients own body quite like the patient.  The patient (or guardian) should always be informed and involved with what their medical team is doing.   There needs to be some type of legal medical bracelet that basically says "this person has a guardian and if you do anything without their  consent they will sue the everloving shit out of you."     All that said, I should probably go see someone about this blood I'm shitting.  But I really don't want to deal with them that much (also the lack of medical insurance doesn't help either.) On the plus side if I do die then it's not my problem anymore so I don't have to worry about it!
