I'm stuck between such a rock and a hard place financially. (hexbear.net)

I don't have a driver's license, credit card, bank account or actual phone number so I can't use services like paypal or a bank account. So in turn I can't get donations from people. Someone donated me $50 which is now stuck in limbo because paypal won't work on door dash without a credit card or bank account. I tried asking my dad for his c.c. or bank account and that I would forward him the money but he blew up on me calling me a piece of shit and threatening to kick me out of the house, again.

So I'm back at square zero, again. Literally cannot do anything because of capitalism and it's fucking ponzi scheme of checks to kill the poor.

But god forbid Elon doesn't get his million dollars a day from the government and they sweat me over $50.

Do you want help getting out from between that rock and that hard place?

If you're of age, I'd suggest adding your city/state to your initial post, so the community can direct you to specific resources. If you're in my area, for example, I have a sister who works for a local credit union. She would be happy to help you open an account.

If you're underage, I'd suggest contacting the guidance counselors at your local public high school first, even if you're not a student. They can provide simple advocacy, and direct and assist you in finding the proper support. At the highest end, a "guardian ad litem" could be appointed. This is a lawyer, appointed by the state and free to you, who is charged with supporting your best interests, ahead of the interests of your parent(s). There is a wide range of support available between those two.

~~If you want help, the community needs to know your general age and your city/state.~~
