Something I find curious is, often when my partner and I are fundraising for mutual aid and we receive a modest donation (usually less than $20) it typically includes an apology for it not being more.
Friends, please understand that we are just as grateful for a $5 gift as we are for the ones ten times that amount. Wanna know why? Because relatively speaking, those small donations are most likely a significantly greater portion of the donor's resources. If you've only got $10 in the bank and you donate $5 to us (please, PLEASE don't if that's the case), you're giving us literally half of your net worth in one shot.
That isn't to say we aren't also insanely grateful for the larger contributions - those have somehow magically kept us in this motel for more than two months now. I also know that sending us $100 when you only have $110 (again, please don't do this.. we don't want others suffering just to keep us alive) is still just as staggering.
EVERYTHING you do in relation to mine or others' begposts is helpful. Boosts matter. Favs matter to our self-esteem. Ditto comments. Donations matter to our physical survival but the community here that my little family of misfits has been privileged to be a part of, is immensely vital to our overall well-being.
Thank you each and every one involved. We literally only have a safe place to sleep because of you. I can only continue to hope that someday I might get my shit together enough to begin paying it forward. We have a very, very tall bill in that department.
