FP Edit: I can’t believe this made it to the front page! :D!!! Thank you for all your amazing comments and to all those who reached out. You guys are the real MVPs. Is this is where I’m supposed to ask for nudes? (Just curious to see if the legends are true). Send me boobs, your favourite recipes, feel good stories... Whatever floats your boat, I’m happy either way :). I hope I didn’t embarrass anybody, it is certainly not my intention to do so. I am currently a student myself and have struggled to keep up financially the last 3 years. While I am lucky enough to have awesome family and friends that have helped me each step of the way, I am in awe to see there are so many people out there in the world who are more than willing to help and share their hard-earned income with complete strangers. I understand exactly how it feels to lose your financial independence and to have to think twice even before buying a cup of coffee. I made this post just because I was overwhelmed with the positive response and as a thank you to all those who offered to give so generously (including all those who remain unnamed in the comments) and those who wish they could give but are unable to do so because of their own financial position. Thank you all for making my day :) You have taught me there can be this genuine, selfless connection between people, even strangers.
