Deliver family sized chicken wings, punch, and chips! And give her money.
yeah my family and friend’s are loaded and always come through when I ask if they could donate to a random homeless person from facebook…….smh. If a pal/relative asked me to donate to this person, i’d tell em how sketch that sounds.

I can’t post a direct picture, but this person in particular is getting quite infamous about asking for a set amount every post. “For Black History Month, help support this black woman who can’t work due to a disability! Our hotel room costs the same as an apartment, but I’d rather live here! Oh, and get my kids medication, too.”
Sure, the hotel doesn’t have a kitchen would be my guess. That makes the excuse for not making meals easier to sell.
I’ll take it!
The family size pack of chicken wings sent me 💀🤣
TWO packs!!
Page Dr. Now!
How do people post this shit and not feel embarrassed 😭😭 two family sized packs of chicken wings, get outta here lmao
And don’t forget the Hawaiian Punch! It is absolutely NEEDED today!
And the box of chips because just one kind isn’t enough. This person NEEDS a variety!
Because we now live in a shame-free society. It doesn't matter how bad you look, it only matters how much bank you can make.
shame-free society
This. I didn't grow up with internet so I'm never sure how much this is 'you kids get outta mah yard' so I tend to keep shtum. But, the things people talk about on blast to the entire world now, on purpose...to gain followers (I don't mean causes or anything), that one wouldn't whisper to a close loved one in my day?
Okay the example I have in mind is someone who describes their (non life threatening) medical journey in extreeeeeme detail, like people I know don't even tell me about this or that being scraped again and in such detail, or which new medication they might try...It's kind of stunning to me, but, hey, vive la difference I guess?
I'm only saying it's an adjustment.
And the begging, of course, and the personal details about the 'love life' and all too...just a different world.
(Edit: please, no groups come in from outside the sub and hammer me for 3 days. I don't want to read it and it's not necessary to grandstand or soapbox at me. I am allowed my pov and maybe we all learn by respectfully hearing others' pov. Other opinions are fine just don't @ me with hate.)
And 18 tiny bags of chips. And they can’t all be the same kind. Not some kind of healthy snack or something that will maybe go further than one meal. Chicken wings and junk food. It’s a NEED. /s
No kidding. If I was that desperate for food I'd be asking for something like a loaf of bread, some peanut butter, maybe a case of water (if I was some place that tap water wasn't OK to drink), bag of apples, cans of tuna, MAYBE something like granola bars or cereal and shelf stable milk replacement (almond/soy/whatever).
You know, stuff that you can make more than one meal out of, doesn't need to be refrigerated, and is reasonably healthy/filling. Could probably get enough of that kind of stuff for the same cost as one bucket of chicken wings and have enough food for at least a couple of days.
Wings, chips and fruit punch? Get ALL the way out of here with that.
Wings have so little meat that you need the family size to fill you up.
Never see mention of a family though. MY room.
They might be in a halfway house or a room in someone's home.
I'd like to see proof they are are charged $$, and are behind on rent and by how much.
A supermarket rotisserie chicken would make so much more sense.
And likely a lot cheaper. There for a while, wings were expensive.
What is a pack of chicken wings? I’m picturing uncooked wings with the use of the word “pack,” but this doesn’t seem like someone who has access to a kitchen and would be willing / able to prepare wings for the family.
I'm going to go out on a limb and say that they also require the wings to be cooked and delivered hot & fresh.
The most intriguing part of this post is that everything is needed today. What was done... yesterday?
What about tomorrow?? Pizza party and 10 people needing to send $18.99?
What was done... yesterday?
Drugs....... Lots of drugs
That explains the munchies.
And lack of funds. She should really be asking her dealer for a refund of her rent money.
bro was busy working and contributing to society yesterday.
So much work that he could not even think of paying bills
For some inexplicable reason, that explanation never occurred to me.
I laughed way harder than I should have at this.
Is he having a party while about to be evicted? This is quite the CB.
Why don’t they ever ask for something wholesome like potatoes, vegetables, and baked chicken?
Back when I was living paycheck to paycheck, I'd get the cheapest most basic stuff which was veggies, rice, and chicken and a bunch of cheap canned food. Even then, I'd regularly go a day or two without eating, just drinking water
Right? I just signed a lease after being homeless for over a year. Managed to get a supermarket voucher and bought house stuff like toilet paper, cleaning products, and some basic food to get through until I get paid again. Rent is expensive but you make do. I also have the number to the local food pantry so we can get some pantry staples later in the week.
I couldn’t imagine asking for people to crowd fund my rent and pay for luxury foods!
Hey, congratulations on getting a place after being homeless!!!❤️❤️ sending lots of good thoughts your way.
Thank you! I was lucky enough to be able to couch surf with family for a while until a house opened up and I’m so grateful. My kids are stoked and we can only go up from here ☺️
Hell yeah!! I'm so happy for you, and proud of you. Bouncing back from homelessness is no fucking joke. You're killing it!
Id actually be inclined ro five herc$15 to help pay rebr but then when she says she NEEDS fried chicked and Hawaiian punch and puts that need on the same level as her rent then I call bullshit on all of the "needs".
Yup rice and canned chicken. Cheap, and shelf stable
Don't forget canned cream soups. Gotta have a cassarole ready to go in minutes.
I did the dollar store canned meat and pasta. I got a taste for it and still eat it sometimes. The Vienna sausages was a life saver. 😋
Vienna sausages with a handful of saltines is an excellent snack!
Used to do condiment sandwiches, with the right mix of mustard, mayo, salt and pepper you could swear there was a slice of bologna in there. Got me through some hard times.
There's also the bread sandwich or toast sandwich consisting of nothing more than a slice of toast between two slices of bread: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toast_sandwich
You can live on ramen noodles for years!
I would do 2 slices of the cheapest bread and 1 slice of American cheese. Put it in the microwave to melt the cheese a little for lunch and tap water every day when I was a first year teacher because after rent and regular bills I had zero money and I didn't want to go into debt.
Ketchup sandwiches have always been my favorite.
Hugs
You know those Knorr sides? You throw some hot dogs in those and you've got a cheap, filling meal.
I used to eat microwave noodles, chopped tomatoes, canned tuna, onions, and occasionally mushrooms. "Italian pasta!" I thought to myself. It was genuinely rather foul but at least I was getting the full range of food groups. Sometimes I treated myself and bought tins of hotdogs instead.
Didn't you hear her? She NEEDS Hawaiian Punch TODAY
Or beans.
I have never been homeless and literally ate beans and rice with 1 diced potato for lunch for the last 2 days
to be fair, I forgot to buy tortillas which turns a sad bean lunch into a bomb bean-rice burrito. hahaha. but its still the same $1.50 meal
I was homeless from age 24-29 due to drug addiction. You can absolutely find plenty of food that is relatively healthy and cheap if you aren't picky. I would do almost exactly what you're saying. You can make burritos for nothing. I would buy cans of beans ($1),Walmart ready rice ($1.29), and Walmart tortillas (I forget the price of those) and then use the microwave in a 7/11. I could make numerous burritos for less than a dollar a piece. To demand people buy her food and pay her rent is ridiculous. Some people are actually in need, not just lazy and entitled.
Edit: Just to give an update because it was mentioned, I've been clean for many years now and opened a recovery center to help people along their journey. I work primarily with homeless addicts, because they have the least options for quality care, and as I stated, I spent a decent portion of my life homeless.
Never mind the fact that her rent is pert near $5000 per month, based on the $185.99!
Since they only ever called it "room fee" I'm assuming they're in some type of halfway house, boarding house, etc. and that the $185.99 is the monthly fee for keeping your room. Point still stands though.
They might be a motel family. I knew a few of them growing up. My husband, our two kids and I lived in a motel for a few weeks, too. We were really young when we got married. It’s expensive as hell. But when you don’t have regular income, you can’t get a lease. So you end up spending so much money at the motel it gets harder and harder to get it together and get out. Also, no cooking facilities. That’s why she’s asking for premade food.
I doubt that it’s $185 a day. The cheapest motel that I found near where I live is $52 a night right now.
I'm thinking it's probably one of those weekly motels that many folks stay in. So, I would think this is the weekly rate. I could be wrong, but I've seen some of the signs at these places, and that's about the same rate.
it may be $186 for more than one night/day, but even then, that's still so outrageous to ask for on top of a bunch of snack foods instead of anything filling and nutritient-dense.
I wonder if it’s for a week at a motel because that sounds about right for today’s prices
I eat beans because I like beans. Sure they’re cheap and a good source of fiber, whatever. Beans are delicious (well, the good ones are).
I guess what I’m saying is Send me beans.
Beans and rice is a vegan staple. We eat a lot of beans and rice in this house.
I’m not vegan or even vegetarian! I just like beans!
SEND BEANS 🫘
Another bean lover here! Black bean burritos are a staple at our house! They’re delicious and full of fiber!
I had no idea how much I needed a tribe of bean lovers. I love meat, but I definitely make up a bowl of black beans with salt, pepper, and melted cheese. I have also made BBQ baked beans into a meal.
Hello, bean people! 👋
My favorites are butterbeans, Lima beans, cannoli beans, adzuki beans (I would probably eat red bean paste flavored poison).
I like beans, but I like lentils more.
I love red beans and rice. I make it all the time and it's super filling!
I love the chili beans and rice with a little sour cream, lol
“Red beans and ricely yours” was Louis Armstrong’s slogan.
How do you cook the potato? And what kind of beans? I am interestred in susbscribing to your cheap bomb burrito newsletter.
Not the burrito person, but usually, the potatoes are boiled then pan fried. Pinto beans are commonly used, but black beans or (bean of choice) can be.
Oh, and you know she would be mad if you bought the wise assorted box of chips and not lays.
Or even just food in general? Always so specific! If your family was starving you'd think you'd just ask if anyone has any food to spare, sounds like they're in a hotel so maybe a request of something that doesn't require an oven. But family size chicken wings, variety chips, and Hawaiian punch is pretty damn bold
The Hawaiian punch really seals it. Who NEEDS Hawaiian punch? You got running water in that $186 hotel room?
Chips are potatoes /s
Rotisserie chickens are like $5 at Sam’s and Costco and provide leftovers in most cases. Yet no CBs seem to like them.
I would suggest getting a job! Probably be more successful than begging people for money!
You dont understand! Iv applied for loads of places and noone got back to me!
apart from the ones i didnt want
Or,.like, some multivitamins?
Tuna rice and black beans were always my go to on the week when all my funds were spent on bills and gas to get to work.
Because they’re trash people who eat trash. Not things that are cheap or good for them! That’s just silly s/
Yep, was just being silly 🙄
I once did a food run for a family in a nearby town via a Food Donation and Community Outreach progam, they were in a bad spot.
They asked for potatoes, some other root veggies, and some milk. Something like $10 of groceries.
On my way out, I saw those Grocery Store $5 whole rotisserie chickens (this was pre-Covid), and bought two of them for the family.
It was like I was the second coming of Christ or something. They were so happy, and grateful.
while I wait on the additional help to fall through
Well, at least they are realistic.
/s
My ex used "fall through" in this way, to mean "come through", and when I pointed out that it meant the opposite, he was like "well that's just the way I prefer to use it". YOU CAN'T JUST USE IT THE OPPOSITE WAY!! WE LIVE IN A SOCIETY!! Ugh, I hadn't thought about that in a while.
😂 exactly...
I too desperately WANT some wings, I don’t think you can ever classify that as a need though.
i haven’t had wings in fucking ages.
ya know why? i’m broke as shit. i’d love some goddamn wings. but i’m out here working and paying my bills like a fucking loser.
They are so expensive and they have hardly any meat on them! But they are yummy...
the cheapest place by me is over $1/wing
i remember bars used to run 10¢ wing nights and shit not too long ago
Hawaiian Punch, definitely a need. Another shining example of the complete demise of the human race.
Were there any comments on this one?
I feel like every post on this sub should be required to show the comments!
100% agree, especially the posts that say someone is getting eviscerated in the comments. I’m nosy, I wanna see that shit
Nope. Just “bump!” so far. I always post the comments if they’re juicy lol
Doing the Lords work!
Hahahah please post them if people start commenting!
This has to be a known grifter though, right?
I feel like this post is too bold for someone who has rarely asked for assistance before.
Fucking Hawaiian Punch? How about WATER?
How about a regular punch? POW RIGHT TO THE KISSER
What do you mean, like from the toilet?
the “lol” at the end tho 💀
Yeah I have this weird thing about people putting lol into everything. I don't get it.
Is it a poor attempt at making such a ridiculously rude and entitled request seem like not such a big deal?
think my dumbass generation started it. (millennial)
I don't get it either. The only thing that grinds my gears even worse is "lolololol".
Do you really mean "Laughing out loud out loud out loud out loud"? 🙄
They pay their rent by Groupon, it sounds like. "Get 13 people to send $20 each."
(Only, "send," instead of "spend.")
Give me all this stuff and hurry up!!!
Maybe she could get a job!!! No, that’s probably just too crazy.
I don't know if it is the sense of entitlement or the added letters to words that is annoying me more "PLEASEE"
This person has zero shame.
Definitely a CB Frequent Flyer! Agh, the bloody cheek of this grifter! 
$15-$20 increments. No tens or fives of bills larger than $20. Also solicit your family who doesn’t know her. Also reach out to your friends about this random lady needing chicken wings and room fee drug money.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 i pray no one gives her anything other then advice
I'd be happy to bring her some job applications, though.
Well if they’re literally asking for enough wings to feed 2 families while not having enough to cover rent I think I can imagine what kind of person this is (pothead or eating disorder, take your bet).
I'd wager for both. even if your high as hell that is a lot of food for one Normal sized person with portion control.
On a room. It sounds like they’re in a hotel and not a cheap one either.
Yeah someone here said "cheap motel", and while $185.99 isn't the Four Seasons, it's definitely not a cheap motel.
Is this the lady who has been begging on IG for years?? She always needs $350 every SINGLE week.
That may be heather gillespie.
Yep she’s about to be kicked out of her cushy hotel
I'm thinking you mean Mercedes... and she's still at it.
Yes! This post seems kinda like her except for the part asking for someone to bring her food. Mercedes only ever wanted $.
I remember living on ramen noodles...5 bucks could last a week
In college my husband lived on ramen, rice, and coffee. He comes from a wealthy family who couldn’t be bothered to send him money.
I don’t like to think of anyone being homeless, but if someone has to be, I hope it’s mostly people like this.
Ooo! A local one! Saw this on my afternoon FB scroll today. That's a whole lot of chicken wings.
Variety box of chips, mind!
This one grifts on Instagram every single day, demanding people send her money AND tell their family and friends to do the same lol. She gets super miffed when folks won’t pay up.
If they eat that much and don't have funds, sounds like someone needs to work
im curious, do people actually donate? how much money did she end up with at the end of the day?
$0 so far it seems thankfully
Where does this sense of entitlement come from with these people? It’s pretty astonishing.
Chicken wings will be gone in a day. Get some deli meat and bread, etc, and you can have multiple meals from it. Also Hawaiian Punch? The sugar!
Bread, pb, jelly were what I was thinking.
This is why this person is homeless. They want expensive junk food to eat instead of making oatmeal or beans and cornbread or something.
She is waiting for the additional help to fall through? Bold strategy given the circumstance
Where are chicken wings and Hawaiian Punch on Maslow’s hierarchy of needs? I think I overlooked that? 🧐
So did Maslow
We’ve all struggled. My biggest meal is a big pot of vegetable soup. We can eat on eat for 2/3 days.
What the hell is wrong with these people
Lmao these people always eat the exact same diet it’s hilarious because that is in no way cheap
A room fee? Is she talking about a hotel room?
What kind of room are they staying in? Me and my bf just got a nice king bed room in a modern hotel for $100. She must be staying in one of those nice ass apartment rooms for that price!
I get a $5 rotisserie chicken once a week and we eat like a king for days.
It's *only* $15 for you to give this family pre-diabetes. For an additional $5 from just ONE person, you could buy a dictionary so that this poor soul can learn to distinguish wants from needs.
Her plan is to "wait on the additional help" - not help herself, not find resources, not go for retraining. She finds it funny ("lol") that she has no car and no money. Does she have two legs? That's transportation for a lot of us. Sometimes we use them to walk to the bus.
The ending “lol” is the real kicker
TODAY PLEASE!?? I have no car no transportation or ANYTHING or Money lol
“lol”
If you knew you were going to need to pay your rent, why wait until the very last day to ask for help?
The grammar gave me a headache.
Ask your friends and family to help out a entitled Choosey begger you yourself don't even know
Sign me up!
I’m always so sad when there aren’t any comments in the pictures for these posts 😭 I’m dying to know the reactions to this lol the nerve of some people is just 🤯
I don't house and feed adults. I don't help junkies score. get a job or seek some kind of support. Begging is not an occupation so have some shame.
No one NEEDS Hawaiian Punch.
Ah this person. Is it bad that I know exactly who this is just by seeing the font and the background?
"Lack of planning on your part, does not constitute an emergency on my part"
Chicken wangs are an absolute necessity now?? And Hawaiian Punch? 🤣🤣 holy shit these people are delusional
She probably has kids based upon the hawain punch request which I have never drank without alcohol as an adult. She needs to get her priorities together and get her shit straight for her kids. That amount only probably covers 1 to 3 days a hotel or wherever there at. She needs to try to figure something out instead of waiting for help to fall out of the sky.
"My room," not our room. Do you really think she would not use children as an emotional appeal if she had them?
idk, there's a lot of I me my in this post if she's got kids. I also can't imagine someone like this not using her kids as sympathy bait
Too hot to be homeless. What did James Brown sing? Oh right....use just what you got, to get just what you want.
Is this a hotel room? Bc it sounds like it -
What happened to "Please can anyone spare some food? Anything, really."
Why is it that these people always ask for the most expensive god damn food every time
The "lol" tripped me up. Someone is way too comfortable with being unable to meet any of their own needs.
Someone needs to tell this person about rice and beans
Her Insta is an absolute TREASURE of begging.
Why am I imagining this person is vastly overweight with a cholesterol count triple their IQ.
12 x $20 = $240? What hotel is she staying at? Damn… the decent hotels in my area (like, pretty fucking nice, no resort but nice and clean and comfy) are like $150/night.
Let me see what I have in my couch….
So when are the needs needed? Next Thursday?
$186!?! Where's she staying, the fucking Hilton??
I need a midsize automatic vehicle
Might want to try some water
Seems like this person can do the math. So, they can work as a cashier or something instead of asking others for money. 🙄
Or how about get a job and pay for your own stuff?
I have some chicken wings in the freezer I would bring her just to see how pissed she was when I brought them uncooked.
Most places that get really hot weather have cooling stations, and some shelters open additional beds in extreme heat, like they do with extreme cold. Libraries are air conditioned, and unless you're causing problems, they're not going to kick you out just because you're homeless. This person might need to just go hang out at the library until shelters open or it gets cool enough to sleep outside. If she's been staying in a motel, she's luckier than most.
The library doesn't have free chicken wings and chips in Hawaiian Punch though.
Smh nobody needs Hawaiian punch, drink water
Need chicken wings? Nah buy a loaf of bread
This is so cringe idk how people even go about their day after posting this to the public. The audacity is mind blowing. People really think shit should just be handed to them. They truly think they are owed something. It baffles me everytime I see one of these posts 🤦🏼♀️
Sad thing is, there are people out there who will give it
Chicken wings are never a need, that’s a want honey
"...while I wait on the additional help to fall through"
Gurl, that help fell through a long time ago. That ship has sailed.
I hope her help 'comes through' and doesn't 'fall through'.
English classes weren't THAT boring.
I always love begging my friends and family for money for other people. Any else need $20-30 per a person that I can hit my sister/best friends up for??? Sheesh…
