My family is homeless and struggling to find work so we can get out of this situation. I have a lead but it's taking a long time for them to get through the preliminary hiring process so I have no idea how long that could end up taking. In the mean time, we have no income and my wife and I have been dealing with recurring illness and pain every day while struggling to make ends meet. I'm burning out really bad and our support system is almost completely gone at this point.

At the moment, we need help affording temporary shelter, food, toiletries, medicine, and important bills (car/phone/etc.). We are falling behind on pretty much everything right now with less coming in and more being asked of us and we've been having to go to the doctor much more often as our health has been declining. We need rest to recover but there is just so much stress and it's so hot outside. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

This dress, probably a formal afternoon or visiting gown, came into the John Bright Collection missing its skirt. The decision was made to photograph it for the website worn with an existing reproduction skirt that matched the colour or the plain satin trimming almost exactly. This has produced a strong contrast with the pale patterned silk that was characteristic of the late 1870s and shows the overdress off to advantage, though it is possible that the original skirt was also of patterned silk.

Many dresses of the earlier 1870s were influenced by the styles of the 1770s and 1780s, their looped and puffed up skirts simulating the late 18th Century polonaise. The popular ‘Dolly Varden Polonaise’ was named after a character in Charles Dickens’ novel ‘Barnaby Rudge’ that was set in 1780. Although its silk, woven with vertical bands of flowers, is similar in concept to brocades of the 1770s the dress owes more in style to those of the late 17th Century, their trained skirts looped up and fastened at the centre back to reveal a contrasting petticoat or underskirt.

So I got an email back from some nice people who have been helping me. They worked with me and my mom to make sure we could get through our goal so we are close to getting out of the streets! (along with you guys help too thank you!)

I was informed we just need $530 that way we can get the full help that we need so me and my mom can finally get everything we need to be stable 😭 I was so happy to read the email this morning!! I'm so close I'm serious this time!! I'm so close to getting a normal life again!! So I need everyone's help one last time!! I just need $530 and I'll finally get the help I should've gotten since shelters in my area were unresponsive and ghosted me which was frustrating. I can get a car ride, finally get a damn truck, I can get clothes, I can go grocery shopping, get my medication all of it!! No more homelessness, no more heatstrokes, no more hospital visits, nomore sleeping in the rain and floor, no more anxiety being in the dark at night.

“I had time to run home and pack a bag and get to the beach where the boats were waiting,” said a member of Namaygoosisagagun First Nation (Collins). “We literally had minutes to get on the boats and flee before it took our town. “Once we left my house finally after packing what I could in a pack sack, the fire was right behind our place. We had to run to the beach and once we got there, it was only moments before the fire had jumped over the (train) track and was coming for us.”

it has since been confirmed that namaygoosisagagun first nation has completely burnt to the ground. if you would like to help the community navigate an ongoing crisis, i urge you to donate to the anishinabek nation 7th generation, a registered charity seeking to improve the lives of first nations people. donations are going directly to members of namaygoosisagagun first nation.

Hi, my family has been struggling financially lately and taking care of our cats has become difficult. One of them is a senior kitty and most of the others are close to their senior years. Some of the kitties need to be switched to a veterinary diet, but that type of food is much more expensive and we honestly can't afford it. If you are able to and want to help please donate to my Ko-fi page or reblog this post! It would mean the world to me and my family! <3 We appreciate and are grateful for any donation we get! <3 Thank you so much in advance! <3
