Welcome to the weekly edition of Helping Humpday, dedicated to Kossacks helping one another. HHday resides at the Street Prophets Coffee Hour, the intersection where politics and religion and history and ethical values conveniently meet and sometime collide.
Humpday — because we’re smack dab in the middle of the work week and getting over that hump sure looks sweet. But for some folks in this community, the humps they need to get over are far more daunting than looking forward to the weekend. That is where Helping comes in. Helping Humpday is specifically about generating community support for struggling Kossacks who find themselves facing an imminent financial need like keeping the lights on, avoiding eviction, getting to work, paying medical bills. Our goal is to publicize the Community Needs List and other fundraisers for needy Kossacks as widely across the site as possible. Our motto is simple: many hands make light work.
Support Someone on the Community Needs List
Consider A Donation To a Kossack In Need.
The folks on the Community Needs List are struggling. Some need help with a one-time emergency. Others have been have struggled for months. They are working towards financial independence and self-sufficiency, but still need some help. Your small gift can help a family or individual find stability for another month in the face of a crisis. Even $3, or $5, or $10 helps. Thank you so much.
Also, tip, rec, comment here and in the individual diaries. That helps spread the word.
