Sometimes people conspire to show you that the world is actually a really, really amazing place, as long as you give it a chance to be amazing.
After worrying and stressing about it for weeks, I swallowed my pride last night and asked people on facebook if they had any kitchen appliances available that I could buy cheaply. I'm moving in January and don't have a lot of money, but need to improvise a complete kitchen.
Sixteen hours later, I've had enough offers to compile not one but two kitchens, most of it either free or very nearly so. Some of the people who offered, I barely even know (and one of them I don't know at all). I'm a bit overwhelmed and so, so grateful.
