Derek’s mom is immune compromised and bed with her MS. Derek has muscular dystrophy. Both of their health are deteriorating with the mold. Mold remediation is urgently needed and going to take a lot of work to do. Any spare cash is appreciated.

Someone on a different social media site asked this question....

"Would you accept $200k but you're not allowed to do anything productive or that might be considered "work," or work for $700k but it's 50 hours a week every week

I saw something similar to this and I'm curious"

Interesting. My problem with the $200k proposal is that I bet I would want to do something that would be considered "productive" to someone. I love acting. Would acting in community theatre count as "work" or "being productive." I would do some volunteer "work" as well.

Like Mutual Aid and community work. Even just playing video games, I would want to stream myself playing video games because I enjoy streaming. But that is "work" to someone.

As for the $700k one, I already work 66 hours or more a week. Even more if you include the streaming I do on Sunday. If streaming counts as "work." So I guess the $700k one would be what I take. I would love to just work 50 hours a week instead of 66 or more.

The reason I work as much as I do is because I am trying to support about 6 friends with various needs. Most of which are in poverty and disabled. And yet, I haven't been able to support them at the level I want to. I wish I could give them more.

The $700k would cover them and then some. I could pay for their new computer or any emergency thing they need. Some of my trans friends have been off HRT for years. $700k would easily pay for that.

With the $700k, I would give a lot to those asking for help in http://charitylinks.page, it is a google doc I somewhat manage with a friend that contains many different links to folks' various GoFundMe, Venmo, Paypal, and other links for those asking for help.

Hell, after taxes and all, I would look through GoFundMe and fund many folks' needs.

And if I would work just 50 hours a week, I would stream on my time off and try to grow that.

So I guess, I would go for the $700k option.

A friend of a friend, Abhi, is still to get his green card and complete his immigration process. Full story in the GoFundMe: https://gofund.me/30dd30b9
