      Folks feeling like helping out a small family in *urgent* need? A grandma and her eight-year old grandson need assistance—they are facing homelessness after the child's dad recently passed away. (I can personally vouch this is an urgent case). https://www.gofundme.com/mcdougle-grandma-and-child-in-need …

      (I'll add back whatever fees are deducted from the donations... It's so frustrating that people have to resort to crowdsourcing for medical costs and housing emergencies! But here we are, a small child is facing a homeless Christmas. 😡🤬).

      By the way, grandmother is working full time but *still* facing homelessness. Plus, the poor child now ends up having to go to work with her 6a in the morning, and she drops him off at school during a break from work. This situation is unconscionable

          This is a good example of why you don't want women screaming non-stop about evil white men every f*cking day. Empathy drops below zero into truly vicious territories.
