Helping out ahead of the winter holidays. Helping Humpday at Street Prophets [1]

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.
Now that the holiday shopping is under way, I’d also encourage you to check out the Kos Katalogue. Even if you didn’t know you wanted it, it’s in there. A link to the final version is at the end of the needs list.
Did you, too, resist spending on Black Friday? Did you choose carefully where to donate on Giving Tuesday? And did you, too, hold some back for our own community?
Some of the needs on the list are ongoing, but some are time-sensitive or even urgent. Please, look over the list. Do only what you can, but do what you can. If it’s a donation, that’s great. If it’s a share, that’s great. If it’s a like and rec, that’s great, too. I’m thankful for everyone who does something.
Yay, St. Nick. . . by There are goals on the list that are within reach. Anything you can do will help them. Details for these and other needs are in today’s list, compiled and posted by njm5000 in today’s fun Village diary,by Joker2101.
Please read carefully, as there are updates.
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 and reported to the IRS. The recipient 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; it goes directly to GFM’s profit. GFM will still take money from the amount raised, and it isn’t voluntary.
