Welcome to Street Prophets Coffee Hour’s Helping Humpday. Street Prophets is a place where religion, politics, art, photography, cooking, and life meet up. Helping Humpday is our chance to highlight Kossacks who need a boost to get through the things life has thrown at them. Have a cuppa, take a cookie or three, and join us in calling attention to the people in our community who need some help.
We have a new ask from Street Prophet’s own MicheleWln. Please check this out and do what you can.
Sometimes, when faced with so many in need, it can feel overwhelming. Maybe you pass on by the list because you feel that what you can do isn’t enough. But the purpose of this project is to make the little bit we can do add up to enough to make a difference. You don’t have to do it all yourself. If you can, choose one or two and send a little. Even $10 or $5 or $2 can add up if enough of us join in. If you can’t donate today, please rec and comment. That will keep the diary visible so others can have a chance to see it.
Community Needs List as of 10/23/21. Fundraisers who want a diary to be or stay on the list: PLEASE kosmail requests and donations received to njm5000 by Friday evening to be included on the Saturday morning updated list.

Help us get the word out! If helping financially isn’t the right option for you — or you want to do more — then be the link between need and fulfillment. If you are active on Social Media, go to the linked fund-raising pages on the Needs List and use the social media icons on the page to share it throughout your contacts on Facebook, Twitter, whatever platform you use. If you are active on DKOS, and it is appropriate for your members, republish this diary to your groups and tip, comment, rec so it stays on the sidebar as long as possible.

Each of you will help in your own way. Some of you will let us know here. Some will quietly donate and say nothing. Some will donate in someone else’s name. Some will boost on social media and broaden the reach. I’ve been known to call in favors or money owed me with a donation request from the list. It all helps. A few words of help and hope for the people asking is also a gift.
