Welcome to the Street Prophets Coffee Hour, the place where politics meets up with religion, science, nature, art, and life. Come in, have a cuppa and a cookie (or three!) and join us.
Helping Humpday is the Wednesday Street Prophets Coffee Hour. It was created for us by bfitzinAR and was taken over by Dixiecollie, who also left suddenly. Now it’s njm5000 who keeps the list of Kossacks in need. Helping Humpday is still here, the place where we can show caring and offer help.
njm5000 put the list together today with a note that you, yes you wonderful Kossacks, did an amazing job. People are getting closer to having their immediate needs met. Congratulations and thanks to everyone who donated, who recced and commented to keep the diary visible, who offered words of support (that’s important for people who are struggling!), who are here for our community members in need.
Let’s keep the momentum going. People are closer but a couple of us still need a boost to avoid disaster. Look over the list, see what you can to to help. Even $1,000 is doable, if enough people give $10 each. Is there someone you can help with $10?
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 to recipients and asks donors to contribute to their organization, but also money received through that platform is treated as taxable income. You will receive a form 1099. If you are requesting help through GFM, also be aware that there can be delays in accessing the money. There has been some confusion about GFM fees. When you donate, they ask for a tip. You can decline and have no extra charge. This is not the same as the fees charged to the person raising funds. GFM will take money from the amount raised, and it isn’t voluntary.
If helping financially isn’t the right choice for you at this time, you can still help. Tip and rec the diary so it stays visible. Share on social media: Twitter, Facebook, whatever platform you use, to bring the attention of others outside our daily readers. And offer words of encouragement to people who are struggling. It can be scary to be struggling, and it can feel lonely. This can happen to any of us. Today it isn’t me in need. If it isn’t you, either, please see what you can do to help.
