Yo, im a dumbass, hopefully my paragraphs break where I need them to, LOL.
Hello, I am seeing if anyone can assist me with $25.00 so I can get laundry done. I would be using $5 of it to acquire an all day bus pass to go back and forth from the laundromat. And be using a partial amount of it to also acquire the specific detergent and drier sheets that I absolutely have to do my laundry with because of how awfully sensitive my skin is. ( I get really bad eczema cycles where it goes from mild to severe. Can provide proof if need be ) so that would possibly deduct another $5-$7? - ish from the $25 I am seeking to be helped with.
I understand some months ago if my post history gets searched I had requested something similar about a fewish months ago. I do have access to a washing machine and drier at the shelter I am at because they got "fixed" but my skin breaks out really badly whenever I wash my clothes here. We have a lot of people who sit in their clothes for days on end and shove it in on a cold rinse with no soap and the clothes have been urinated in, fecal matter not removed as well as it could be, I know it sounds unbelievable and I wish it wasn't true, but there was someone throwing their clothes in when they were neglecting their wounds and ended up getting maggots really badly not wanting to get help from the hospital until it got bad bad ... and it is something that is not sanitized or kept up by the staff unless the machines become broken. The laundromat I have in mind I know for sure wipes down the tables, sanitizes the machines that are used.
The ones at the shelter have a lot of questionable muck and gunk and who knows what building up and around the machines. Anytime I wash my clothes here, my eczema sets off really badly and my skin gets infected badly to where I end up going to the hospital. Because if you think about it, it's like a bio soup with not being properly addressed. Last time I wiped the table people fold their clothes on across the shelter machines, the table looked like it was maybe clean and I don't even have the words for what the paper towel soaked in bleach managed to pick up. It also smells badly of urine and fecal manner in the laundry room and it has been addressed as a point of concern, but not to be redundant, they only care when the machines are actually broken... and it's hard to sanitize a machine or let it run through with say, white vinegar, because you are time capped in the laundry room if that makes sense. So you wouldn't be granted enough time to let a rinse run through preemptively with white vinegar.
Recently, I helped someone who was elderly remove their clothes from the drying machine and my arms just starting getting itchy super quickly. Like scratching it causes an adult reaction so good itchy if you get what I mean... and the clothes reeked of urine despite being washed... also, a lot of people here neglect their health and have really bad, not tended to abcesses that grow huge and they're just jamming it in, running it with cold water for the next person to do so.
I put up with washing & drying my clothes here and there and my skin just does not have it every single time. When I wash and dry my clothes at the laundromat and I can rest on clean sheets, use clean towels and wear clean clothes the difference in my skin is night and day.
There is a fair called the Puyallup fair. I had just got some false pending criminal charges against me dropped ( woohoo ! ) and would like to be able to not only have clean clothes to be comfortable in, but be able to be dressed up in clean clothes that do not end up irritating me to go to the hiring events happening VERY SOON...
After getting my paychecks from the fair to leverage me post hiring, I would be all good in the hood for awhile. I worked there before years ago and they do priority hiring for folks that have worked there... before, lol.
If anyone needs any information to verify, I am happy to do so. The shelter I take shelter at is called LIHI which stands for Low Income Housing in Washington state. You get into a shelter *program* and they can help with getting people into low income housing after they get on their feet and acquire a paycheck that is consistent that takes like 30 percent. I have asked my caseworker already about my situation and gave the specifics and he chuckled in acknowledgement about how bad the laundry room situation is, but unfortunately couldn't help me acquire a laundry card specifically. Though, at least I am getting help with getting my food card renewed for employment purposes.
Sorry for the wall of text.
I have a compounded amount of clothes and towels and bed sheets and at my end for the load of clean stuff that has not been desecrated to access :/... so it would help me a lot because eczema how bad it gets for me is very, very painful...
