Welcome to the April 27th 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), and sit with us.
We’ve had a success! TonyahKY’s need has been met. (See below for details.) Thanks to all who have donated, recced, and shared. This is our community at its best.
Some of our other Kossacks need a little lift to get over a hump, too. 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, Wednesdays are the day the Street Prophets focus 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.
Community Needs List as of 4/27/22. Fundraisers who want a diary to be or stay on the list: PLEASE kosmail requests and donations received to njm5000 by Tuesday evening to be included on the Wednesday morning updated list.

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. Let them know we understand and are here to help.
And thank you to all who’ve helped, whether by sending money, reccing, or sharing.
I’m expecting a new refrigerator today so I may be in and out. It’s an expense I had only a short time to plan for, but I’m fortunate enough that I was able to manage, if barely. Now I have to start adding to that rainy day fund again. But I am lucky. Taxes were paid earlier this month. The refrigerator is paid for and on its way. The car repairs are covered. There is food in the pantry (soon to be food in the new refrigerator) and the utilities are on. Pets are fed. If you, too, are able to meet your needs with a little left over, consider giving. If you, like me this month, are a little too close, consider sharing and reccing so others may help. It all adds up.
