I just looked at their profile today, they’ve been gone for months. One of the last things I remember them commenting was that they were about to lose Medicaid, meaning they were going to lose access to the methadone clinic. With what street opiates are nowadays, a financial detox at a methadone clinic is a death sentence. And her leaving behind the mutual_aid comm just doesn’t make sense and seems very out of character for her. I worry something happened to her, specifically worried about an OD. Also hate asking this, but does anybody know their legal name or have them on off site social media? Might be worth looking into obituaries in Portland.
I know she shared her other socials on here a couple of times, but I don’t remember them unfortunately snd and I didn’t want to follow her because it just felt creepy and invasive seeing a Hexbear’s social media. The PayPal she has listed on her final mutual aid post is @BobbySemczuk my idea is for someone to send a small amount of money, like a dollar, and just ask about Rachel. Pretty sure that’s not her account and it’s one of her street friends’, but it’s the only way I can think of to check on her

Of course, I love the people on this site a lot. There are many people on here I’d consider best friends. There’s one user from further back in the site’s history I’m pretty close with. They go through long periods of not responding or getting on here. They haven’t logged into Signal since March. I miss them a lot, so I send them a message on Signal every once and a while for when they log back in. When they log back in eventually, they’ll know I never forgot about them
