Emergency🚨
It's winter in Gaza, and today the storm will begin. Our tents will be flooded by the rain & blown away by the wind, even though we are homeless & without shelter.
We desperately need your donations to buy a tent cover that costs $100.

Hi, All,

I need help: $200 for missed bills from last week and $400 for this week for utilities. The $400 I need before this coming Friday. The $200 I needed for
this past Friday. I’d love to hit both goals today, pay this stuff, and calm down a bit. Can you help me calm down with some #MutualAid?

These conditions are disastrous. They exist because Israel has destroyed nearly all infrastructure in Gaza for survival. This is how the genocide can continue even if the ‘ceasefire’ were real (it isn’t).

Look with your kind and compassionate heart at my children who are living in the harshest cold, with a torn tent and no one to turn to but you. My heart breaks for them. They only need $200. Don't let them die of hunger and cold.

One of many things I learned (& continue to learn) from my mom is the importance of expressing (not just feeling) appreciation & gratitude to the people who make our lives, selves, futures possible.

I really appreciate that @pbsnews.org ended the interview with this graphic.

It captures, in the simplest and starkest terms, the brutal arithmetic driving this country's homelessness catastrophe.

"Homelessness today isn't just the person sleeping outside a Walmart. It's often the cashier or worker stocking the shelves inside."

So grateful to everyone in NYC who mobilized to stop the ICE raid of Canal St. The violence being committed against immigrants is heart-wrenching, but the shows of solidarity we have seen around the country give me so much hope.

Confirmed: Earlier this morning a photog overheard agents inside the parking garage say “dismissed,” believed to be calling off their planned mass raid.

A source tells me they had planned for *hundreds* of agents to flood Canal St. They got flooded instead.

I was able to donate another 50. There are only 6 hours left in this fundraiser. Let’s help them make the amount for urgent aid for 6 families in Gaza. Their suffering continues unabated. We cannot abandon them.

I’m raising funds for my bday which is coming up soon. Who will join me in this?
I was able to donate 50. It was doubled. Who can join me? Please.
This is not a useless task so long as there’s a chance just one person can see this and help.

So here’s hoping.

Six families, etc.:

My one-and-only mother was hit & killed by a car on Wednesday. I am all the adjectives you can imagine: shattered, devastated, bereft.

And no hour has passed in the last 48 where I have not felt unbelievably lucky, overwhelmed with gratitude for all the time I got to be her daughter.
