Hi, I don't want to pressure you so there's no need to publish this if u don't want, but I know you're a pretty big name in mbmbam/Taz Tumblr and I was wondering if u would consider making/rb'ing a post boosting MBMBAM angels? They've only gotten about half of the donations for stockings so far, and there hasn't been a lot of posting about it. Again, no pressure at all! I understand not wanting to post donation links and the like, but I thought I'd shoot you an ask about it. Have a nice day! đ
Iâll do it here and possibly a separate post. I might forget.
In case you were completely unaware of what MBMBAM Angels is, like I was, here is an excerpt from the website: âAs many of you know, the McElroys hail from Huntington, West Virginia. West Virginia has struggled with poverty for many years and Huntington is no exception: It and many of the surrounding communities struggle with economic depression and have been severely impacted by the opioid crisis, among other issues. While the McElroys help us all to feel warm and jolly around Candlenights, there are hundreds of people in their community struggling to find much to be jolly about and, in some cases, even to stay warm. This is NOT COOL.
Back in 2014, the Brothers decided to do something about it. Each year their local paper, the Herald-Dispatch, publishes a list of individuals in Huntington who are asking for the littlest of somethings to make their holidays a little brighter. They reached out to all of us, their fans, and asked if anybody would be willing to take a look at the list and maybe knock one or two off of it to give back to Home Sweet Huntington. Justin dubbed the project the MBMBaM Angels.â
TL;DR: You fill a stocking for someone back in Virginia, or give a monetary donation for appliances and furniture.
But if youâre not donating, you can always fill a stocking! As you can see, theyâre only halfway there, and the Candlenights season is approaching.
They really need help filling stockings this year! Hereâs an example of one you can find on their website; be sure to follow the instructions on their about page for filling a stocking.
Please donate if you can!
