I am Eman from Sudan.

I hope you are well.

I am sorry for sending you a message, but I am asking you to help promote my campaign.

I hope I have not disturbed you.🙏

Last June, our house in Sudan was bombed while we were inside it, which led to the martyrdom of my younger brother, and this affected our psychology greatly and became my concern. The only thing is to save my family, so I created a campaign in January,I thank you for your love and I hope you will hold our hand until we get out to safety

Hello, you have definitely not disturbed me and there is no need for apologies, I'm glad to do anything I can to help.

Help this bereaved Sudanese family rebuild their house and afford basic necessities after they lost their house during bombing:

id also really really appreciate help getting a shower chair as i wont have one where im moving and i have pots, poor balance, and routine issues with my hips and knees from fibro and hyperextension. i specifically need a bariatric chair which can run a bit more expensive

i hope youre all having a safe and happy pride, thank you in advance for any help.

multi-billion dollar companies have used their design and made profit from it, and yet they have not seen a cent for their creation.

i’ve been friends with emily for years, and i have not once seen them be financially stable the entire time. i’ve seen them homeless, unemployed, starving. right now, they need our help more than ever.

please consider donating to emily’s ko-fi, especially if you’ve used their design to create something and profited from it.

Being away from Gaza in the midst of a devastating war turns every second into a heart-wrenching vicious circle of pain. Simple everyday activities like having breakfast, drinking water, and going for a walk turn into heart-bursting torture. It is nearly impossible to focus on any of my studies or be productive when fear and guilt are holding my brain and soul as prisoners. Yet, as I was evacuated to Ireland to pursue my studies four months into the war, I had a responsibility to give lectures in my Irish college to students and staff to expose the crimes of apartheid Israel and tell the story of the daily suffering of my people during a genocidal war. Please donate, reblog, and share my fundraiser with others.

I've posted about my friend, Shahd, before, and last time Shahd posted, she and her family were suffering from illnesses as a result of consuming the contaminated food and water in Gaza. As you know, healthcare is not easy to come by in Gaza due to Israel destroying all healthcare infrastructure with their raids and indiscriminate bombings. Not to mention the psychological burden which is mounting.

So far she and her family have gained up to $9,000 but are still quite far from their goal which is $40,000 and the donations are slowing down and stagnating. Just 1000 more and they'll be able to evacuate at least 2 family members. But Continue to donate and share the fundraiser so that you can keep their hope alive as well as save their lives!!

this entire situation has really got out of hand and we're trying to find a new place so we don't have to stay in this duplex anymore but its slow going. currently we're dealing with the plumbing/septic tank not working so we don't have the water turned on to prevent the house from flooding, we can't cook anything because all of our cookware has either been lost or stolen because the front door doesn't lock and our neighbors on the other side of the duplex just let themselves in all the time and we have no way of keeping them out. and on top of that we can't even heat things up in a microwave because that's broken.

we can pay people back if need be, it just might not be right away because we basically had the rug ripped out from under us and we're trying to get back on our feet but it's hard as fuck because im disabled and can't work so it's just my husband with a job

I've been off and on sickness(not covid) for the past 4 weeks, that reduced considerably my productivity but we managed to pull through until now. I got sick again and can't pay for another covid test nor medical assistance.

By my calculations we'll run out of food by july 16th, which is regrettably my birthday. We already ran out of soap, detergent and other hygiene products.

If you can help or reblog, i will be forever grateful, there is not much i can offer besides my thanks and maybe a doodle big enough for an icon. We're asking for $150, i know i can make them last 2 weeks.

Good morning people, I don't have words to thank you all who helped reblog. We got a little past our goal. I'll make sure to use this wisely and stretch it as much as possible.

Maybe I'll even bake me a cake :')

Thanks so so so so much!!!❤️

I need UK journalists to not show 43 degrees is not beach weather like people are gonna die

If you can't afford cold packs (and if you can, stock up on some NOW), get some ziplock bags and freeze them, with wet washcloths or ripped up towel inside. You want them to be ready in the freezer when you need them. Wrap them in a tea towel and put them on your wrists and ankles.

A big bowl of ice water in front of a fan will blow cold air into the room and make a massive difference. Again, if you don't have ice cube trays get some and freeze them *now*, don't wait until you're already in trouble (although I am melting at quarter past nine but my thermoregulation is bollocks so I don't know if that's the heat or just the me). If you can't afford to get any, clean out empty yoghurt pots or Tupperware or whatever you have that can hold water. Even if you end up with a giant ice cube from a lunchbox, it'll help.

Even just opening two windows at a crack will allow some air circulation - I sometimes prop open my bedroom door and leave the bathroom door open, both windows are locked at a crack because of the cats but it creates a nice little line of wind along the landing.

If you're someone who needs something on them to sleep, take your duvet out of the cover and just use the cover.

Remember that water acts as a lens - you do NOT want to wear a wet t shirt in the burning sun. I did this when I was 8 and if I tan on my back you can still see the scars.

Read the instructions for sunscreen carefully, and use the highest spf you can find. Reapply as per the instructions. If you get burned, Malibu do an amazing aloe-based spray on after sun, I got mine from Savers for 3 quid and it lasts ages. I keep it and any other after sun in the fridge, which means it's incredibly lovely to put on. Aloe is magic for burns so definitely gravitate towards that if you can. My son got badly burned (he's ginger, he went to an outdoor pool and they forgot to give him sunscreen) and he's had 2 helpings of it and you wouldn't believe how much better he is (he couldn't even really wear a shirt).

Make sure your pets have plenty of fresh cold water to drink, and if they usually have dry food consider giving them some wet food for one of their meals (cats are notoriously not always great drinkers but wet food will get them some liquid). Keep the curtains and/or blinds closed in south-facing rooms. I have blackout curtains in the front room and the front bedroom (my son's) and they make a MASSIVE difference to the heat. Make sure pets have access to these cooler spaces if you can create them.

Keep oven/hob use to a minimum if you can. I like making a massive pot of something that can be reheated in the microwave if necessary - the oven especially adds a lot of heat. Or get some wraps and ham and cheese and eat those.

Cordial or fruit juice can be better than water if you're sweating a lot. Cordial is cheap as chips. Salty snacks are also good.

That temperature is absolutely murder, even moreso with humidity.

1- fans in windows: fans in the shadier side of the house put them in windows so they pull air in. Fans on the hot side of the house put them so they push air out of the house. Create a cross breeze so you can disrupt convection.

2- cooking: if you have something like a crockpot that’ll reduce the heat output from cooking, and you can do stuff overnight so it’s when the house is cooler. If you put it by one of the fans pushing air out of the house that’ll reduce the heat buildup in your home. If you have a BBQ I’d recommend using it just to keep all the heat from cooking outdoors.

3- there’s a way to create a door or window air conditioning unit. You take a sheet of cardboard, cut holes in it and secure the necks of plastic bottles into the holes with tape. Place the bottle big side of the “funnels” outside. When the wind pushes the air into the funnels, the compression effect cools the air blowing into your home. Pro Tip: make sure that the little “chimneys” in the corrugation of the cardboard are going side to side and not up and down. If it’s going up and down, they will trap heat as the cardboard warms and funnel it up and out into your rooms. I’ve clocked regular brown cardboard putting off 65.5°C it’s great for improvised heating in winter but counterproductive here.

4- light cotton or linen layers of clothing especially looser clothing is gonna serve you best. Multiple layers so you can regulate better, loose so you get some ventilation as it swishes when you move. Cover as much skin as possible. It’ll help protect you from the sun and the cotton will hold your sweat a bit and help with regulating the evaporation to keep you cool.

The lawsuit from Hachette Book Group, HarperCollins, John Wiley Sons, and Penguin Random House alleges there have been significant revenue losses because of their controlled digital lending program. For context, most libraries in the US also use CDL to distribute books to their patrons wherever they are but those programs are run through for profit companies and the libraries are often paying a very high fee to so their patrons can have access to digital books. The Internet Archive’s program is completely free but they have a policy of not digitizing and lending anything less than 5 years old.

we're just trying to get by during our financial situation. my dad's job is shutting down in august, possibly earlier (my dad is a sander at a furniture company). im trying to help my brothers find jobs but we all know how job searching can be a struggle. yes, my mom and i work. my job is part time though, and i cannot get another job.

my dad's car's brake pads are starting to go so we're only using when necessary until my parents can afford to get it fixed (last time it was like $1000+ i think, the car has had other issues though), so both my parents are taking the bus. weekday bus passes are $52.

BASICALLY this is just survival funds in a way. no set goal, whatever i receive will go towards whatever my parents need help with.
