There but for the grace of God
We're all closer to the street than we'd like to be. We can each be part of the solution, too.

Only 800 needed so i can rent a safe place instead 😢
We are drowning again and again
It will be a harsh, long, bitterly cold winter.
And between every storm and the next… another massacre, new displacement, lethal suffering, and bleeding grief.
If you have any spare i beg you i’am in dire need to evacuate 😣

It's obvious they need more help, look at sweet Malak not yet two months old, she has known only hardship. Love alone cannot keep her warm, but you can

I feel much safer today knowing that we deported a Babson College student back to a country where she hasn't lived since childhood.
She wasn't even flying internationally. She was flying to Texas.

“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.”
It costs a lot less to house people.

As a father, the weight is heavy — trying to provide for my family from nothing, rebuilding life piece by piece after losing everything.😓

If you can, please pick one of the hundreds of fundraisers set up by people in Gaza and make a Thanksgiving donation. People have largely stopped giving since the ceasefire began, but Israel continues to block badly needed aid from entering Gaza.
You can help a family buy food and shelter. 🧵
