This page just exist to support all the structures out there really doing the work. My goal is to connect their voices and resources to as many people as possible, while encourage folks in the community to take their own responsibility in stepping up to be leaders, contributing funds, and sharing resources!

The Pledge
|
I promise 25 dollars for the 30 days. And I encourage everyone to make a similar pledge of a dollar, five dollars, 25, or 50. Then share that you're doing that each day on social media, so we can see a community coming together to help.
If you are the one who needs help, take it. Ask for it. Find it. Life has not made anything easy for anyone and it's not anyone's fault for struggling today. If you can help, just not with money, all shelters will probably need volunteers and other ways of helping! Pledge Paused With some relief going out on Nov 7th, I'm pausing my pledges temporarily. With considerations to restart depending on what ends up happening or moving to 25 dollars per week as a baseline until the pledge is complete if the government continues to be shutdown. |
