Sally just became a big sister to her baby brother Mohammed. Their mother Laila @laylaayman-blog2 has been fundraising trying to support their family through the awful conditions in Gaza, but it is hard for her to keep promoting her cause while taking care of a newborn, and donations have slowed as a result. She needs our help to share her campaign!

Hi, as you may know my name is Bunni! I usually write fictional romance between humans and monsters, but I also run a small Etsy business!
For the month of November and December, I will take $1 from every keychain and 30¢ from every sticker sale I make and put it towards my local angel tree. I am already putting $200 of my own money in.
I’ve had a terrible year, and if you’re following me you all know that. I want to turn my bad year into a good one by helping out the less fortunate and letting children in my area know they are cared for.
Many parents are focused on simply feeding their children this year and can’t afford gifts or basic hygiene products. That’s why a local thrift store is hosting an angel tree. We’re not only giving presents, but also basic needs like clothing, toiletries, and sanitary products.
I am just one person, so I need your help to do this. $200 is an entire month’s salary from Etsy. It’s all I can currently give, but I want to do so much more.
I sell Black Butler, One Piece, Tokyo Mew Mew, Hunter x Hunter, JJK, Chainsaw Man, Attack on Titan, and Deltarune merch currently.
If you can’t buy anything, I understand, but reblogging, going to my Etsy and following my store, simply favoriting a listing you like or adding it to your cart can help!
A secondhand clothing marketplace based in LA is matching donors to fire victims based on size, gender, and age.
"As hundreds of thousands of Californians grieve the loss of their homes and communities in the face of record-breaking wildfires this week, countless have shown up to help.
Officials report that an estimated 10,000 structures and more than 35,000 acres have been in the Palisades and Eaton fires, with over 180,000 forced to evacuate in recent days.
Aid agencies and nonprofits have stepped in to provide food, temporary shelter, and other essentials, but for many who have lost everything, the rebuilding process begins immediately.
Seconds Market, a secondhand clothing organization based in Los Angeles, normally buys gently used clothes from locals and hosts pop-up sales in the LA area for secondhand shoppers.
But in the wake of this devastation, Seconds Market decided to use its platform to connect Californians in need with clothing donors from across the country.
“Have spare clothes lying around? A Poshmark or Depop pile? We’ll connect you with someone who needs them,” the group shared on Instagram on Wednesday.
“Wearing secondhand is hot, but donating to your community is hotter.”
Their post directs followers to a sign-up link where people can request support or volunteer to donate items. Folks are then paired up, based on clothing size, age, and gender to ensure that people get items that are appropriate for them.
Over the course of 48 hours, 20,000 donors had signed up, according to the Seconds Market Instagram page.
Iluka, the founder of Seconds Market, shared that the match program is different from a donation drop-off, helping people get their needs met by having items shipped directly to them, rather than using the labor required to sort through donated items.
That said, she shared in an Instagram story that she was hoping to set up a free “store” so that fire victims could shop for donated items in the coming days and weeks, as well.
“This match initiative was a way for me to connect friends who wanted to help LA victims directly. Helping one person would’ve been a win in my book,” Iluka wrote in a statement.
“Since ‘launch’ we’ve had 20,000 (and counting) of you from across the U.S. sign up to donate — directly from your closets — wardrobe to wardrobe.”
Donors are responsible for the cost of packaging and shipping items after being connected with someone in need — and donations are not limited to clothing, but rather anything they can offer their “match.”
Experts suggest that major influxes of donations can be overwhelming to folks immediately working to rebuild their lives, though anecdotal evidence from others who have survived house fires suggests that it helps to be given something right away instead of having to go shopping amid recovery.
It’s that immediate need Iluka hopes to fill with Seconds Market.
She wrote on Instagram: “[This is] giving 20,000 people the opportunity to have one less thing to worry about when they wake up today.”"
Hey y’all! Just a friendly reminder that if you are donating (or wanting to donate) stuff to food banks/churches/etc… please remember to also donate hygienic items such as toothpaste, brushes, hair products, pads, tampons, deodorants, body spray, diapers, wipes, etc!
(Also I’ve been seeing a lot of well meaningful people on all forms of social media talk about using reusable feminine hygiene products instead of using pads and tampons- please remember not everyone has the funds to buy them/not everyone has the means to correctly sanitize them/and most importantly everyone’s periods are different. Those products aren’t necessarily good for people who have very heavy periods.)
