Due to multiple setbacks in my life, a substandard accountant for my consultancy not notifying me about taxation changes (India), I've racked up ~$45k worth of fees that I've been paying to the Income Tax Department for the past 5 months, a kitten who was diagnosed with FPV with massive vet bills I'm in a state where I can't even buy food.
To make things clear, I am not looking for a handout, all I am looking for is someone to give me any sort of work, I've got ~12 years of experience building on the web, Typescript, golang, Svelte, React, and have worked with nearly every JS framework + some experience with Laravel and Phoenix LiveView. I have applied for jobs, but those processes are taking weeks, and I simply don't have that sort of breathing room left.
Additionally, you don't have to pay me until I complete all deliverables, and you're satisfied with what I've built. I have 5-6 days before rent day, and I'll appreciate anything you can throw my way.
To the moderators of HN, apologies for this post and thank you to anyone who reads this.
Good luck. Sadly I am in a similar situation otherwise would gladly take you up on your very reasonable and by no means unethical or embarrassing post. With a humble opinion, there is nothing wrong with asking for help, even when others tell you there is, even when it is against the rules. This is especially the case if it is done with humility and genuine need, as you seem to have clearly indicated. Even though it is unclear to the writer of this post how all posts will be responded to, yours and others, by other patrons in this message board, at least know this.... You have someone out here at least rooting for you. Good luck. You got this homie.
