Welcome to the October 26th 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.
Helping Humpday was one of the gifts created for us by bfitzinAR. It was taken over by DixieCollie, who also left unexpectedly. It’s still here, a place where Kossacks can share and show caring.
Some of our own community members 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.
Kos Katalogue is here!
Seriously, if you haven’t looked through the Kos Katalogue recently, do that now. Even if you don’t know you’re looking for something, it’s in here. I buy almost nothing beyond food and pet food, but I found a thing or two that I know I’m going to have to gift to someone this holiday season.
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. 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.
