Also a massive thanks to everyone who has streamed to help this fund.

You are what makes GBAtemp such an amazing community to be a part of!


Now, as for GoFundMe, they have still not released the funds to Chary, despite saying they would, over 10 days ago. The excuse is their engineers need time to convert the raised amount to dollars, and their payment processing team are trying their best to get it done. To me this sounds absurd, but here we are, 14 days since the fund started, waiting for the cash to be paid out in this emergency situation.[/USER][/USER][/USER][/USER]

I can't even imagine losing all of my possessions and home. Good luck Chary

 

[DavidRO99]

Wow this is horrible and amazing at the same time, seeing that this community can all come together to help one person in such a small time is amazing. Hope you get better soon @Chary!

Holy Shit!

I would donate but I'm broke right now.

Question. Who comes up with hurricane names? I think we should have equality in names.

Include more ethnic groups in naming. Im waiting for a Hurricane DeShawn or Hurricane DeAndre to strike.
Wheres the Middle Eastern Hurricanes? Hurricane Abd al Rashid I'm still waiting for you.

i hope that things of some "harvey" or something like that, we never had again.

Lol, they already have the names planned out years ahead of time. It like planning ahead for your babies name.

Look at that, 2017 Hurricane Zelda. Zelda rocks you like a hurricane.

now that I read the list more closely, there are only 2 variations for the 26th cyclone, zelda or zeke, and what if there are more than 26 tropical cyclones?

We also have hurricane Irma and José, coming at Florida.

You know what kills extra money really fast? Rent.
@Chary How you all holding up? I haven't been able to follow this thread due to my chromebook being a piece of crap.

 

[Chary]

I've been okay! Just mostly being exasperated at trying to find a new place to live. Even upping the budget to $1,500 a month, and I haven't been able to even find a 2 bedroom condo to live. Still waiting on FEMA to come and inspect the ruined house in hopes of getting help through them.

Are you aiming to stay in the state or is going out of state an option? Chances aren't going to be good in your current location since everyone is most likely looking for a new place as well at this moment.
If there is one thing I can say about flood damage, it's a bitch and half to deal with.

 

[Chary]

As if this month didn't do enough, my aunt died yesterday night. It's just...I don't even know what to say or think. But I went and took an Uber to my house, because in my desperation, I wanted to see if a blanket she made for me as a baby was okay.

Well, that was a dumb thing to do.

The landowner already had people out tossing everything from my house. Even if things weren't trash before, they are now...

I couldn't find the blanket in that mess, and I really didn't have the stomach to look very hard. That's my entire life's personal belongings condensed into my front yard.

There's a rose in my backyard, one that's lived through hurricane ike, through all the storms and punishments that 15 years of living there has brought to that poor plant. Even though the flood waters were taller than it, it's still alive. Though I'm moreso thinking that I wanted to uproot it and take it with me, it also feels like an appropriate metaphor for life...to keep standing strong through every storm life throws at you.

Mentally, I'm okay. It's just...difficult.

I have to stay in Texas, as my mother couldn't find a comparable job in Oregon or California sadly. I'm hoping FEMA extends my hotel stay so I can have more opportunities to find a place to live. While a lot of people are looking for places to live, there's a lot of people looking to just...leave Texas entirely. I'm hopeful despite the low chances of finding anywhere good.

Sorry to hear that you lost your aunt.

Man, or should I say woman? This keeps getting worse and worse each day.

Equality?
Who the FUCK dares to assume their sexuality?
That's the real question here.
