Get Help
No cost. No referral. No qualification. Ever.
Text or call (512) 808-0153.
You don't have to explain yourself first, and you don't have to be at your worst to be worth helping.
If this is an emergency
If you're in danger right now
Call or text 988, the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline, 24 hours, free. Call 911 if someone is hurt. Text HOME to 741741 for the Crisis Text Line.
We are not a crisis service. What's below is ongoing support, and it's real, but it works on the scale of weeks and months. If tonight is the problem, use the numbers above first. They're staffed right now and we're not.
What's here
Four things, none of which cost anything.
Recovery circles
No labels, no steps, no requirement to call yourself anything. Dharma-based circles, plus support around psychedelic preparation, lucid dreaming, and mental health. No cost, and no attendance you have to keep up. Sangha Recovery
Letters into prisons
We route letters in and art, poetry and writing back out. If you're inside, or you're writing to someone who is, this is a way through. And when you come home, the door here is already open. Unbound Letters
Flowers for elders
Surplus flowers go into assisted living and memory care around Austin, to people who mostly stopped receiving them years ago. If you know a facility or a person who should be on the route, tell us. Roses for Residents
Getting through the system
Help navigating traffic, criminal, family and liability law. Getting an ID when you don't have the documents to get the documents. Business permitting. And support for people facing false accusations in criminal or custody matters. We are not lawyers and we don't pretend to be. We're the map, not the attorney. The J9 Reform Project
Who this is for
Some people arrive rebuilding after incarceration, grief, displacement, false allegations, economic hardship, or administrative exclusion.
Some are just tired and don't have anybody to ask.
Both count. There's no version of this where you have to prove you deserve it.
How it's paid for
Ten percent of every job the paid side does goes out the top, before costs, and this is what it pays for.
Ten percent of every sale, off the top, before costs.
Which means nobody here is doing you a favor, and there's nothing to be grateful for. It's already funded. Use it.
Just say what's going on

You don't need to know which of the four things above you need. Say what's going on and we'll work it out from there.
