My children are living in extreme cold right now. The tent isn't protecting us from the cold and rain. We lost our blankets and tent due to the heavy rain two days ago.
I need $100 to raise the funds to buy blankets and warm clothes for my children to protect them from the cold.

Again, this is all right in front of your faces. You can read any survivor’s story to find out names. This testimony is horrifying and I read it almost a decade ago so the least you could all do is know this.
Reminder that in June, 2016, a suit (w/witnesses) was filed against Trump re: his repeated raping of a 13 year-old child at an Epstein party.
(She wasn't a "teen," in anything but the most technical of senses. She was a 7th, maybe an 8th grader.)
We've known he was a child rapist THIS WHOLE TIME.

YESTERDAY was the shortest day in the Northern Hemisphere. The Solstice is not a day, it's a MOMENT, and it occurred more than two hours ago. By sunset, the light will be that little tiny bit [seconds] longer than yesterday.

I need 7 people with CashApp who can afford to give a family in need $50 each. Their windshield is badly damaged, and replacement will be ~$400.
They're raised $50 toward it; 7 ppl matching it will cover it.
