The donations that have come in have helped their lives immensely and have allowed them to survive. The money is still very much needed and will be put toward surviving the winter.

Even though front-door person explicitly said to keep my shoes on. And, yeah, I could have gone around explaining the situation, but at that point it was wayyyy too awkward & I left in shame.
And real talk, this story is the perfect anecdote that explains my time in NY comic circles lol.

My logic was that, if no one else took off their shoes, my socks would get nasty.
But, no, actually--can't remember if everyone else removed their shoes, but I was def the one making a big melty mess everywhere. And since I did not know anyone at this party, I got dirty looks all 'round. -->

Because there was snow stuck deep in the treads. Whoever answered the door (I thought it was one of the organizers but now I'm not sure) said "oh nah, it's fine!" and I was like, really? And against my better judgement, I kept my snowy shoes on b/c I assumed everyone else did the same? -->

I completely forgot about the freaking IP pops 😭😭😭

Thank you for the intel!
