RULES:

1. Mods do not vet individual mutual aid requests. Donate at your own risk and hold each other accountable. If you see something even remotely suspicious, do not hesitate to bring it to the attention of a moderator for review.
1. All mutual aid requests must go in this community.
1. Do not request donations for funding anything explicitly illegal.
1. Sending censored donation receipts to the moderator team is based.
1. Moderator Pinning Rules:
a. Moderators are strictly prohibited from promoting/endorsing/pinning individual mutual aid requests (especially those of their own) as this creates unfair post visibility and could therefore benefit more from that than the standard user. Moderators caught engaging in this behavior will be swiftly removed from the moderator board with extreme prejudice.

b. Moderators are allowed to pin and crosspost to !main donation requests for large scope issues such as natural disaster relief funds and bail funds (Example) along with other crowd or moderator compiled informational resources pertaining to donating or volunteering (Example) so long as the utmost due diligence is done prior to endorsement, especially in the case of directing people to donate to non-profit organizations.

c. Financial documents of non-profit organizations available to the public must be heavily scrutinized before moderator endorsement and links to those must also be included in the endorsement post to help the community make their own decision as to whether or not they should donate.

I recently found out the water at the place I'm staying is definitely full of lead cuz all the plumbing fixtures were put together with lead solder (recently too :( )

So I've been drinking the filtered water you can get in those refillable 20 liter bottles

Could someone send $10 so I can go refill this container and maybe get some food?

All I have rn is my cash app at $paxxap

Thank you for reading <3

Edit: Someone sent me $10! Thank you so much

I get your concern but it's quite unlikely that you get lead poisoning from solder. It's sufficient to let the water run for a while to be sure that any dangerous levels of lead are gone. Water has to be stagnant in full lead pipes for a certain time to be contaminating your water.

But yeah, better safe than sorry. I'm not sure about building codes around there but maybe you could escalate your concerns so this can be looked at by an expert?

Yeahh, maybe you're right. It just scares me a lot especially with how recent the work is

I'm living with family at the moment so there's not really a lot I can do about it. It's literally illegal to be using that shit for drinking water-related plumbing in 2024 but they don't really care...
