We are facing very difficult times in Gaza, with many people suffering from severe shortages of food 🥖 and essential resources 🛑. We urgently need your support 🙏 in these critical moments. Every donation 💖, no matter how small, can make a big difference in the lives of families here.

Let’s stand together 🤝 to provide food and basic needs for children and families in need. Your donations will help us overcome this crisis and save lives.

Heartbreaking news from Houston Landing. "Houston Landing to cease operations in face of financial challenges"

I would LOVE to see them awash in donations to keep them going. The Texas Observer was saved in its final hours this way. I'd love to see Houston Landing saved, too!

..."“ People who were displaced, lost their houses needed help. They weren't looking for clothing necessarily. They were looking for toiletries or cash or food,” Gullingsrud said. “And so these organizations, they're not clothing collection organizations, but all of a sudden they were clogged.”

And sometimes if they are not set up to handle clothing donations, a lot of it ends up in landfills, like what happened after Hurricane Katrina, she said. Clothing can’t just sit outside in donation centers, she added, because it will become moldy and toxic...."

Way too much used clothing was donated during the Los Angeles wildfires (really... don't need to donate clothing during disasters)

..."“ The trend is that Americans consume more and more clothing and use them fewer times,” he said, “which means that the clothing is still in pretty much pristine condition when we decide to give it away.”....

Donations to The Debugger are temporarily down, which in the case of #Ghost rely on #Stripe by default. Now, Stripe decided to cancel The Debugger's account, just right after we published our article on #privacy . Coincidence? Probably yes. But we're looking for #onlinepayment alternatives out there, so if you have any suggestions (especially stuff that is not just Stripe or PayPal under the hood) they'll be much appreciated!
