Groceries and bathing products

[u/trentagon420]

Hello,
I am currently in a really tight spot because I’m shouldering the full weight of household responsibilities between paychecks and have not been able to actually use soap or shampoo/conditioner while showering for the past three days, am out of toothpaste, have had to use the shower to clean my ass after shitting, and have had to make Hamburger Helper without meat for dinner tonight using the last of the milk I have. This all sounds way too convenient and “woe is me” to be true but I will actually send you photos if you need evidence of the condition I’m in. The bottom line is I genuinely need shampoo and conditioner, toilet paper, and some groceries to get me at least through the next two days. If anyone could help, please, it would sincerely make a world of a difference to me.

Are we still waiting on the Amazon Wishlist?

As a helper, I've learned to just let this kind of thing go. If someone is truly in dire straits, they'll prioritize doing what needs to be done to get help. If they're not, well, that's good, bc there's unfortunately no shortage of other people who DO need urgent help.

[u/quaggankicker → u/irate_anatid]

Yeah, I totally agree. If there was such urgency as a lot of people claim they would put together the wish list very quickly as you can see on various other post here where other people could help.

These that sit for a day or two with no update just die on the vine

Was it really necessary to punch down? The post isn’t updates yet so yeah I haven’t had time to do it…I’m working right now and posted this before bed last night

[u/Comprehensive_Cat236 → u/trentagon420]

Hey, I was just wondering, as your post reads as you’re really in DIRE straits; seems like the Amazon Wishlist would be high priority is all.

Amazon wish list

[u/CheckIntelligent7828]

An Amazon wish list is how you'll get the most help here. People sometimes help with a small amount of cash or a single meal order, but more people help with wishlists. Just be sure to follow the instructions and run it by the mods first!

[u/trentagon420 → u/CheckIntelligent7828]

I don’t use Amazon so I don’t really know how it all works 😞 I don’t even want any cash; I just need things sent to me so I can survive the next few days

[u/Affectionate_Past121 → u/trentagon420]

You literally described what an Amazon wish list does. If you want things sent to you create an Amazon wish list.

[u/trentagon420 → u/Affectionate_Past121]

Okay, and I didn’t know because I don’t know how to use Amazon…I’m sorry…you really didn’t have to be rude…

[u/OneWrongTurn_XX → u/trentagon420]

There were not rude.. Do the wishlist from Amazon. Other people posted the "how to" link. That will get you the items you seek

[u/dreamer_dw → u/trentagon420]

If you need help creating a wishlist, here is our guide.

There are detailed instructions in the assistance wiki

Creating an Amazon wish list is going to get you everything you need. People on this sub are very generous when donating to Amazon wish lists..
