Welcome to the October 5th 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.

michelewln is leaving the hospital today and going to rehab for a week or two. She’s still recovering from pneumonia. Her niece is taking care of Pixie (I asked). Meanwhile, her movers were demanding an additional $400 a couple of days ago. Now they want $1,000 and she needs to find help moving today or tomorrow. bfitzinAR responded on Twitter, asking if there was somewhere to report this as fraud, and trying to find an attorney to help her pro bono. Is anyone else in the Winston-Salem area?
