OK folks... here's the thing: I need some help. (Financial help, most likely.)

by Stefan Reich, Nov 3rd 2012

OK, folks... now that you know my project (and I do love to work on it), I'll tell you something personal... and important. I can't hold out any longer without a bit of essential support from civilisation.

The problem

For at least one year now, I have been living

  • without an apartment
  • almost without money (just barely enough for food)
  • totally without medical care (just can't afford it)
  • and with few friends.

On top of that, I am fighting a lot of bad people - last but not least my own mother. She is against me, no matter what I do. She is actually a real devil.

Where I live? In a little construction trailer - which is located ON AN ILLEGAL SPOT (probably illegal anyway) in the woods. To top it off, it's in a very unpleasant neighborhood.

Yes, I have to live ILLEGALLY here in Germany (because I'm poor). That's how wrong this country is.

Why am I poor? Because I can't sell myself anymore - I just can't. It's physically impossible for me to do that as I am a free person. I HAVE to do my own thing (Lua OS and social revolution) - and that's good. Yet this society is so wrong that it punishes freedom - instead of honoring it.

That is all extremely tiring. I just need some relief, and quickly. I tell it to you as it is.

Shortly put: I need some money. Not infinitely much, but enough to change my setting.

Someone in the IT scene should step up, please, because I really need that at this point. Call it an investment, call it a donation, call it charity. I don't care about, I just know I need some help... :)

The options

There are a few sensible options:

  1. I buy a cheap car to sleep in. That would be LEGAL, and I can MOVE it which is important to me.
  2. Find an apartment. Very nice idea. However, Hamburg has an incredible problem, apartments are extremely hard to find (or extremely expensive).
  3. Sleep in a hotel for a month. Really. That would make a REAL difference to my feeling. It's legal, I would have electricity there (SO I CAN WORK ON THE PROJECT!), and I could plan the next steps.
  4. Any other idea you might have?

So... Well, that is it. I need relief. And in capitalism, even a bit of relief costs money.

We need to do something for the next two months or so - after that, I believe there will be major upheaval anyway. But it's not there yet, so...

I just hope somebody - don't know who yet - will step up. I mean, the IT scene is definitely not a poor society - I used to be rich through IT too - so is it really fair that I don't even have a legal place to sleep in, just because I can't sell myself anymore? Something should be done. Really. Sorry for pushing the point, but I have to express this lest I go insane.

OK. That's it for now. I hope someone listens. I am very near the end of my powers here...

Tell me what you think about this issue.

Greetings,
Stefan

Edit: I might put up a picture of the trailer... just so you get some idea. Would that help you make up your mind? Heh. Phew. I really do need some support. Did I say that?

People asked me to put my PayPal account online... makes sense, right :) Here goes: wertiges.produkt@googlemail.com
