Hello everyone,
This is regarding Keris, also known as RiikkaTheIcePrincess. Link to the previous post.
The last post that I made about Keris got a lot of engagement. She was able to get some financial help and other support, which was great, however their housing situation is still non-existent. The person who offered to let them stay in a couple of weeks fell through, so they have nowhere to go. Keris did make it safely to Minneapolis and is staying in a hotel until Monday. That means that they need a place to stay ASAP.
They really, really, need a place to stay while they search for a job. This is the thing that they most need right now. If anybody in the Minneapolis area has a spare bed, couch, or floor for her to sleep on, that would be a lifesaver. Seriously. Even if it’s just for a week or a few days, it would be a huge help and would keep them off the streets for the time being while they figure things out and get back on their feet.
I understand that this isn’t the usual type of content on this community, but it’s a very time sensitive thing. There are projects in the works to assist future people who are in need on here, but for now this is all there is.
Keris said that she greatly appreciates everyone who has helped out with advice, support, resources, and donations so far.
Edit: Read her comment below for some corrections and clarifications.
I feel real bad that I can’t help you with a place to stay, especially now that the arrangement you had fell through. I’m glad you got here safe though and I hope you can find a living arrangement soon! If you ever need someone to talk to I’m pretty much always available. Also if you need a reference for a job I’d be happy to help you out with that.
Idunno if “fell through” is exactly right. Hard to anything, so things get confused before I even say them @.@ Thanks, though.
What kinda job? Where? Maybe PM or contact elsewhere if you don’t wanna discuss that publicly @.@ Though, not to be an ingrate or whatever but Idunno if I’m ready to be moving around much right now so… basically just having some stability of shelter is my entire priority list now. … Well, that and figuring out how to get some proper walking shoes I can bring myself to wear with my outfits 😅 Let’s pretend that’s completely joke and no also partly social fear of getting bad reactions over my clothes <.<; Anyway, aside from my legs and feet hurting pretty bad I’m also still terrified of going out into this freaky-ass city 😅 So actually committing to making myself sick over the stuff other than just having somewhere to stay is for later I think.
By which I mean, please-and-thank-you but no promises right-immediately-now @.@;
Why can’t I make a post or comment under essay-length any more 🤔 🤷
I meant like when the job application wants you to put people as a reference. You can lie and put me as a coworker or manager and if they call me I’ll tell them that you’re a really good worker, etc, etc.
I’m also unemployed rn so I don’t have specific job to refer you to, but whatever job you do end up finding I am comfortable with you putting me down as a reference. Just DM me whenever you need it and I’ll give you my name and number to put on the application.
I think you’re stressed out and since you don’t have anyone to talk to irl right now you’re venting in your posts/comments. Which there’s nothing wrong with that, especially given your situation. If you need someone to talk to you can DM me whenever and I’m local (I live about 45 minutes away from the cities), so if you wanted to hang out we could; maybe when you’re more stable since you’re in survival mode right now and it’s more important to focus on finding work/shelter/food right now.
Oooo, okay! Thanks. Also, yeah sure we should hang out sometime :3 Meeting new friends is nice. Even managed to wiggle a little! Looks like I’ve probably got a place to stay for a week or two, and I kinda have friends now!? Super weird. Maybe I can survive escaping 🤔 😅
I’m very happy your situation is improving. :3 Yeah it’d be nice to hang out some day!
