Every time a new app or site provides me with a "Wrapped" I think about the somewhat unsung Black woman who created it as part of an unpaid internship.

In honor of the unjustly banned Link, I invite folks to post their mutual aid below this thread. I will repost need as long as I am able.
As the holiday season approaches, and temperatures drop, mutual aid is going to become more important.
Consider giving what you can. If you can't, repost.
