SAFI 🟦 (safya.eth)

Hitting absolute rock bottom hits differently when you have a 1.5yo looking up at you and need something you can't provide now I know a tech feed isn't really the place for this, but somehow this community is the only place i feel comfortable enough to be this vulnerable Never thought i'd be the one writing a cast like this. i poured my heart into building public goods for the last 2 months. i loved the work, but it drained everything i had, and now i'm facing a terrifying financial wall. i'm urgently looking for freelance work to keep the lights on (+10yrs iOS/Swift & Web3 dev) If you don't need dev work, even a small tip/warp for baby essentials would honestly save us right now. (please don't see this as begging, it breaks my heart to even post it. the circumstances pushing me here are heavier than i can share publicly, but if anyone actually wants to listen, my DMs are open and i'd love to talk)

today is my birthday. birthdays don't really feel the same anymore, and honestly, it’s hard to feel much when there’s no one around. today is just me and my little one. the last year was incredibly heavy and exhausting. it was mostly about just trying to survive and dealing with really tight circumstances and financial struggles. i also lost the presence of my neighbor and only friend, she was the one who brought me a cake and celebrated with me last year. not having her around today makes the silence even louder. but a new chapter is starting today, and i really hope it actually brings something new, and maybe a little bit of good luck for a change. i wanted to take a moment to thank this farcaster community. your support has meant the world to me. i’ve found some of the best people in my life right here, especially @wake @rish @rrrita.eth and i’m genuinely proud to call you friends. you guys give me so much hope. cheers to better days (my neighbor took this last year.)

hey everyone 🤍 just a final update: the seed club campaign officially closed. i actually didn't realize when launching it that it was an "all-or-nothing" model. the goal was strictly set to cover immediate survival essentials, so falling short means it won't fund. your contributions should be refunded to your wallets right now! (if anyone still wishes to support my runway directly after the refunds, my wallet and tips are open, but please feel absolutely zero pressure). huge hugs and a very special thank you to @wake @links @rrrita.eth you were truly the absolute best supporters. and to everyone else who had my back, especially @rish from the very beginning closing this specific chapter today. going back to focusing on my son with whatever resources are available, and i will figure out how to provide what it takes far away from bothering you all on the timeline. thank you for everything for those asking: here's his latest pic. he turns 1 tomorrow, excuse the hood, covering a small head injury

that frame is missing the biggest variable: the people. you can't put a price tag on a community that actually feels like a neighborhood. i'd rather have a $0 account with real connections than a $10k account in a ghost town. your account's true value is the quality of the conversations you have. no frame can calculate that.
