Welcome to the September 28th edition of Helping Humpday, a regular feature of Street Prophets. We’re at the middle of the week, when we need a push to get over the hump and start looking toward the weekend. Come in, have a cuppa and a cookie (or three; we aren’t counting!), and sit with us.
Some of our own community members also need a little push to get over a hump. Maybe it’s an unexpected medical bill. Maybe there’s a life situation that has come up and requires resources beyond regular income. Maybe they just got behind and need help getting their footing again. For whatever reason they need help, Wednesdays are the day the Street Prophets diary focuses on those needs. Maybe you’ve skipped over this weekly diary, thinking the little you can give won’t make a difference. But you don’t have to meet a person’s entire need. If we all join together, the small amounts each person can contribute will add up to enough to make a difference in someone’s life. Even $2 or $5 or $10, when added to the mickle that others give, can be all that it takes.

ericlewis0 has a fundraising diary for The Marti: The Marti, a.k.a. MarTigress, Needs Our Help. For her health, physical and mental, and finances she needs to move to Maryland, and it looks like it will take $15,000 to cover everything: deposits, move, relocating things from storage in Massachusetts, etc. There is some time pressure, as her lease in South Carolina is up at the end of November. Her PayPal is: martiscott50 at gmail dot com The fundraiser stood at $6112 $6987 as of this noon!
It seems life is catching up with some of our people. We’ve had some progress; we’ve had more requests. Others have had significant help, but they still need a push to get through to the end. The Marti is in a time crunch. Harp Player’s mother is now COVID+. Others on the list are still in real need. As you see, they still need help.
When sending via PayPal, be sure to select “Send to family/friend” to avoid fees on either end. Be aware, both donor and recipient, that GFM not only charges fees, but also money received through that platform is treated as taxable income. If you are requesting help through GFM, also be aware that there can be delays in accessing the money.
