IMPORTANT

A close friend of our organisation has recently experienced a sudden loss in their family, and we would deeply appreciate if anybody could help cover the funeral expenses to give Aderemi ע״ה the burial that honours him. This would mean so much to us, for a dearest friend, and we truly appreciate any kindness offered right now. Yehu zichra baruch.

Please reblog, repost, donate if possible. Anything helps and is greatly appreciated.

Please donate, especially if you are donating USD the conversion rate is 1 - 10, and share for Aser and his family. Aser is a 14 year old non verbal autistic boy with food issues trying to survive the bombardment and sanctioned famine of Gaza and evacuate with the rest of his family.

So apparently Turkey and Syria (and some of the surrounding areas) got hit with a massive earthquake today?? The Guardian is showing 4300 confirmed dead.

Last news articles I found (as of 9:30 pm CST, 2/6/2023), they were still trying to rescue people in the freezing cold night.

Praying as many people are rescued as possible, and that the rest of the world is able to send help. Here is a list of places to donate, and specifically to my fellow Jews, here is the JFed donation drive.

My heart is heavy for the lives lost, the people injured, and the terrible suffering that accompanies war. I also continue to believe Israel is a miracle we are wise not to take for granted, just as I believe that all people deserve peace, equality, equity, and respect. Earnestly we pray for hope: hope for the resolution of war, hope for the future of the state of Israel, hope for the end of oppression and sufering, hope for all people who seek peace, hope for humanity to nurture the hope that we can build a future of peace for Israel, its neighbors, and the world.

Many of us have favorite organizations to give tzedakah in times of emergency. For those who would like to make financial donations: 

Magen David Adom 

Hadassah Hospitals 

MSF / Doctors Without Borders

Alliance for Middle East Peace

Medical Aid for Palestinians

United Nations Relief and Work Agency

While we may feel limited in the actions we can take, we are not limited in the prayers we can offer, the learning we can do to try to understand the situation, and the demands we can make of ourselves and others to “shun evil, do good, seek peace and pursue it” (Psalm 34:15).

On Community Teshuva

This Elul, I would love to see Jewish spaces acknowledge that they have ostracized disabled and chronically ill community members. Teshuva is a vulnerable, often times painful reminder that we do fall short in areas of our lives. No one enjoys being in the wrong, no one wants to admit their actions had consequences that harmed vulnerable people, no one wants to hear that their beliefs are based in bigotry. Yet that’s what teshuva will require of those who want to be better allies to disabled community members.

It begins with a genuine understanding that regardless of how you see yourself, your actions and inactions have directly impacted disabled people around you. It’s acknowledging that accessibility can look completely different from what you expected, and to question biases and frustrations that may come up. It’s holding yourself and those around you accountable for addressing needs, even when you hit roadblocks and want to quit. It’s doing this tzedakah because you know it means the difference between disabled Jews being present and being left behind.

What can Synagogues and organizations do to create community teshuva?

Hold monthly meetings to discuss updates on accessibility and new access needs.

Read books and articles by Disability Justice leaders.

Have periods of time where Tzedakah go towards meeting access needs.

Check-ins on disabled community members who are isolating.

What else do you think Jewish organizations need to do to work on ever present ableism?

Please Help Two Queer, Disabled Siblings Stay Housed!!

Hey, y'all! We could really use help ... Our local synagogue was supposed to help us pay our January rent last week, but we found out five days later (Sunday night) that the board staged a coup against the treasurer instead, and they weren't going to help us after all. This was after our landlord had already waited past the date they normally start eviction proceedings, and we've been trying to raise what we need all week since then. We've raised some, but not enough.

Our landlord still hasn't filed, but our luck could run out at any time here. We still need $450 to get caught up and avoid eviction this month. If they file with the court, we'll have court costs and a much shorter time limit to get it done. Edit: My sibling had to go to the ER Friday because they were passing a kidney stone, and we had to spend money on cab fare, meds, and supplies. We now need to raise $530 to pay our rent.

My sibling and I are both disabled and chronically ill, we have no car, and our community doesn't have live-in shelters of any kind, so we'd literally be out on the streets if we get evicted. My sibling also had to go to the ED on Friday (1/19) with a kidney stone. We are too sick to be homeless.

If we could get 45 53 people to give $10, we'd be set. If you can only give $1, that still helps us get closer to our goal, and we'd really appreciate it. If you can give more, of course, that is also great. If you can't give anything, a repost on Tumblr or any of your other social media would also be so helpful.

Our pay apps are:

Thank you so much for your attention and help!

There must be justice not only in how the law is applied, but also in how the means of existence – wealth as God’s blessing – are distributed. That is tzedakah.

Please share and/or donate if possible for my old friend’s sister who was murdered. She was a mother of 5, so they really could use financial help. I didn’t know Brittany, but the rest of her family are super kind and sweet people. My heart hurts for them, and for anyone who is impacted by violence like this.

When you pass to a guy

10 dollars at a time, that’s tzedekah

When you talk to a man

With some kindness in hand that’s tzedekeh

When you help out a ma’am

And till the land that’s tzedekah

Give to neighbors in need

And counter act greed that’s tzedekah

That’s tzedekah

PLEASE HELP!!

I am actively looking for work, but the fact that I'm a student and have health problems makes it difficult on top of all the shit happening with the job market. I have less than $10 and need to get cat food and put gas in my car. If anyone has a couple dollars to spare, I would appreciate some help! Thank you!

Please Help Keep Two Disabled Queer Siblings Housed

My sibling (rivalconga on Twitter) and I are disabled. Sibling has a broken hip in need of a replacement they cannot yet get, POTS, HS, and an essential tremor. These conditions make it impossible for them to work outside of the home, and they have been applying for online WFH for many months without success.

I am in my ninth year of chronic congestive heart failure, and I also am a recently diagnosed T2D working on getting a good treatment regimen, and regularly require infusions of IV iron for lifelong iron-deficiency anemia that doesn't respond to oral iron supplements or dietary iron. I am also in the midst of trying to get an ADHD diagnosis. I am working on applying for SSDI, but the process has been slow.

We do not have family to provide us with assistance, and we have limited resources for help where we live. There are no homeless shelters here, and our state is openly hostile to LGBT+ people. Also, most assistance here is tied to evangelical Christian organizations, and I am Jewish.

You can help us by spreading the word on your social media for us. If you can help us financially, even if only $1, please send aid to our payment apps:

Paypal - nivcharayahel

Venmo - heathmarie31 (This is rivalconga's account.)

CashApp - $heathmarie31

Our monthly needs include rent ($679), Rx medications (about $100), groceries and supplies ($250-300), phone bill ($11) and renter's insurance ($14). Our rent payment includes internet and utilities.

Thank you so much for your help!

[Image Description: Title: Mutual Aid Needed for Queer/Disabled Siblings Text: My sibling (@rivalconga) and I (@nivchara_yahel) are disabled, out-of-work, and without family support. We live in a red state that provides little assistance and is hostile to LGBT people. While I work on my SSDI application and @rivalconga seeks work from home, we need help paying for rent, meds, and other living expenses.
