Welcome to the end-of-the-year edition of Helping Humpday, a regular feature of Street Prophets. We’re at the middle of the week, when we need a push to get over the hump and start looking toward the weekend. Come in, have a cuppa and a cookie (or three), and sit with us.
Some of our own Kossacks also need a little lift to get over a hump. Maybe it’s an unexpected medical bill. Maybe there’s a life situation that has come up and requires resources beyond regular income. Maybe they just got behind and need help getting their footing again. For whatever reason, Wednesdays are the day the Street Prophets focus on those needs. Maybe you’ve skipped over this weekly diary, thinking the little you can give won’t make a difference. But you don’t have to meet a person’s entire need. If we all join together, the small amounts each person can contribute will add up to enough to make a difference in someone’s life. Even $2 or $5 or $10, when added to the mickle that others give, can be all that it takes.
This week’s needs list:
Community Needs List as of 12/25/21. Fundraisers who want a diary to be or stay on the list: PLEASE kosmail requests and donations received to njm5000 by Friday evening to be included on the Saturday morning updated list.

If financial help isn’t the right choice for you at this time, you can still help. Tip and rec the diary so it stays visible. Share on social media: Twitter, Facebook, whatever platform you use, to bring the attention of others outside our daily readers. And offer words of encouragement to people who are struggling. It can be scary to be struggling, and it can feel lonely. Let them know we understand and are here to help.
These are some cats that have gone on, in winters past. But we’re expecting major snow this weekend so it seemed appropriate.
What’s going on in your world? Anyone else looking at a serious snow dump?
