A firm believer, anchored in faith in the God of Abraham, Isaac, &amp; Jacob, can receive blessings that surpass the wildest dreams of human charity. Millions of dollars're possible through God’s grace, not because of our merit, but because of His infinite power &amp; love. The Almighty doesn't ration His provision; He pours out His blessings on those who trust Him wholeheartedly. To rely on begging is to settle for crumbs when God offers a feast.</p><p>Therefore, let us reject the path of begging and those who walk it. Let us stand firm in our faith, proclaiming that the God of all lords is our provider. Let us warn against the temptation to enable dependency by responding to public pleas for help, whether on Mastodon or elsewhere. Instead, let us lift up our voices in prayer, seeking God’s guidance and provision for ourselves and others. May we walk in the dignity of faith, trusting that the King of all kings will supply all our needs according to His glorious riches. Amen.</p><p><a href="https://cr8r.gg/tags/BlackMutualAid" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>BlackMutualAid</span></a> <a href="https://cr8r.gg/tags/MutualAidRequest" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>MutualAidRequest</span></a><br><a href="https://cr8r.gg/tags/BlackMastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>BlackMastodon</span></a> <a href="https://cr8r.gg/tags/queermutualaid" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>queermutualaid</span></a><br><a href="https://cr8r.gg/tags/HelpFolksLive2025" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>HelpFolksLive2025</span></a> <a href="https://cr8r.gg/tags/Queercrowdfund" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Queercrowdfund</span></a><br><a href="https://cr8r.gg/tags/disability" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>disability</span></a> <a href="https://cr8r.gg/tags/disabilityaid" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>disabilityaid</span></a> <a href="https://cr8r.gg/tags/actuallyautistic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>actuallyautistic</span></a> <a href="https://cr8r.gg/tags/DisabilityCrowdFund" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DisabilityCrowdFund</span></a> <a href="https://cr8r.gg/tags/MutualAidRequest" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>MutualAidRequest</span></a></p>
Ramon Salazar<p>Beloved brothers &amp; sisters, this message is in the light of the One True God, the God of Abraham, Isaac, &amp; Jacob, the Almighty, the God of all gods, Lord of all lords, &amp; King of all kings. In His infinite wisdom &amp; boundless mercy, He alone is our sustainer, our provider, &amp; our guide. Let us turn our hearts to His truth &amp; away from the fleeting distractions of this world, including the act of begging, which diminishes the dignity He's bestowed upon us.</p><p>It's come to our attention there're those, such as Tasia, who repeatedly plead for aid through public platforms, claiming dire circumstances, one moment lamenting a debt of over $242, the next requesting $20, then $25, &amp; even $200, while asserting an inability to afford basic necessities like new clothing. Such behavior reflects a cycle of dependency that stands in stark contrast to the path of faith &amp; trust in God’s provision. As believers in the God of Abraham, we're called to denounce the act of begging &amp; to warn against enabling those who persistently seek to take from the limited hands of others. Let us address this matter with clarity, rooted in the pure Christian belief that exalts God alone &amp; acknowledges Jesus as His human prophet &amp; messenger, not divine, but a servant of the Almighty’s will.</p><p>Begging, as an act, undermines the sacred trust we're commanded to place in God. The Almighty declares in His wisdom that He's the Provider, the One who opens His hand to satisfy the desires of every living thing. To beg is to turn away from His infinite bounty &amp; instead cling to the meager offerings of human hands, which're themselves limited &amp; fleeting. Tasia’s repeated appeals, shifting from one sum to another, from tales of debt to claims of wearing the same tattered clothes, reveal a heart ensnared by reliance on the charity of others. This isn't the way of the faithful. The God of Abraham doesn't call us to grovel before men but to stand upright in faith, trusting that He alone'll provide.</p><p>Consider the folly of seeking sustenance from people’s limited resources. Human charity, while well-intentioned, is finite. One may give $20 today, $25 tomorrow, or even $200 in a moment of compassion, but such gifts'll never suffice for a heart that remains unmoored from faith. The cycle of begging perpetuates itself, growing ever more insatiable, as we see in Tasia’s escalating requests. What begins as a plea for a small sum soon spirals into greater demands, for the void of dependency can't be filled by human hands. Only God’s provision's limitless, &amp; only through steadfast faith in Him can one find true abundance. As the God of Abraham promised to His faithful servants, “Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find” (Matthew 7:7). But this asking's directed to God, not to the fleeting generosity of man.</p><p>We must firmly denounce the act of begging &amp; those who make it their practice. To beg is to reject the dignity God's granted us as His creation. It's to proclaim, falsely, that the Almighty is insufficient, that His blessings're inadequate, &amp; our sustenance lies in the hands of others. Such a stance's an affront to the God of all gods, who's promised to care for those who trust in Him. Tasia’s public cries for help, broadcast through platforms like Mastodon, aren't a testament to faith but a display of spiritual weakness. By airing her grievances &amp; soliciting aid, she draws others into her cycle of dependency, tempting the compassionate to act against the wisdom of God’s provision.</p><p>To those who feel moved to respond to such pleas, we issue a solemn warning: don't be swayed by the emotional appeals of beggars. While compassion's a virtue, enabling dependency isn't By giving to those who persistently beg, you may inadvertently prolong their separation from God’s true provision. The hands of men're limited; the hands of God're boundless. Instead of offering temporary relief, encourage those like Tasia to turn their hearts to the Almighty, to seek His face, &amp; to trust in His promise to provide. As the Psalmist declares, “I have been young, and now am old, yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken or his children begging for bread” (Psalm 37:25). The righteous, who place their faith in God, are never left wanting.</p><p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://hexbear.net/c/mutual_aid" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>mutual_aid@hexbear.net</span></a></span> <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://starflower.space/@mutual_aid" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>mutual_aid@starflower.space</span></a></span> <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@MutualAidVisibility" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>MutualAidVisibility</span></a></span> <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/mutualaid" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>mutualaid</span></a></span> <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://freeradical.zone/@anarchomutual" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>anarchomutual</span></a></span> <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/blackfedi" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>blackfedi</span></a></span> </p><p><a href="https://cr8r.gg/tags/BlackMutualAid" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>BlackMutualAid</span></a> <a href="https://cr8r.gg/tags/MutualAidRequest" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>MutualAidRequest</span></a><br><a href="https://cr8r.gg/tags/BlackMastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>BlackMastodon</span></a> <a href="https://cr8r.gg/tags/queermutualaid" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>queermutualaid</span></a><br><a href="https://cr8r.gg/tags/HelpFolksLive2025" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>HelpFolksLive2025</span></a> <a href="https://cr8r.gg/tags/Queercrowdfund" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Queercrowdfund</span></a><br><a href="https://cr8r.gg/tags/disability" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>disability</span></a> <a href="https://cr8r.gg/tags/disabilityaid" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>disabilityaid</span></a> <a href="https://cr8r.gg/tags/actuallyautistic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>actuallyautistic</span></a> <a href="https://cr8r.gg/tags/DisabilityCrowdFund" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DisabilityCrowdFund</span></a> <a href="https://cr8r.gg/tags/MutualAidRequest" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>MutualAidRequest</span></a></p>

Continued thread

The original point of the NDIS was that it would eventually pay for itself. With reliable care, disabled people and family caregivers could re-enter the workforce and boost the economy and government revenue.

But the NDIS has never worked as intended. The Coalition got into power before it was fully implemented, and they made sure it was difficult to qualify for and the application process was long, stressful, and expensive. If you get in, the system is a nightmare to navigate. Many disabled people are further disabled by the process, and not given enough care to meet their needs. Those who most need the NDIS can't even apply for it.

The system also forces participants to use private companies that act as middlemen between them and the services they need. They artificially inflate prices and their focus is on profit, not service delivery.

Instead of cracking down on these rorters and letting participants design care programs that meet their needs, the government is further reducing who qualifies for the NDIS, and further restricting what funds can be used for.

We trail the rest of the OECD on many quality of life measures for people with disabilities, and we have the worst workforce participation for disabled people in the OECD.

It's no wonder why.

The NDIS is an investment. If we apply austerity principles to it and continue to cut, it will *never* pay for itself. And Australians with disabilities will continue to be excluded from full participation in society.

Productivity is not something we should aim for in the care sector. The focus needs to be on quality and effective person-centred care. All productivity gets you is crap care and crap working conditions.

We should be very concerned by a government that only sees things through the lens of productivity. They are dismantling the NDIS by stealth.

URGENT mutual aid for disabled queer family, please :boosts_ok_gay: !

I had to take a couple of days off from this hustle for my own mental health. We're $300 short for meds and doctors and food, and we need it by 9/1.

We're living on one set of benefits in the US south, some of which have now expired.

You can help! Please check out:

Please boost, and if you can, give. We're in a desperate situation, and you're saving our lives.

Thank you for reading.
