The Community Foundation of Southwest Louisiana has activated a relief fund for Hurricane Laura that you can donate to here. Please please consider donating if y'all have change to spare.

Please send me receipts with personal information blurred if anyone donates too. I would love to keep track of these things for the community like we did on the Discord.

UPDATE: Up to $920! Thank you to everyone who has donated and sent receipts so far! <3

    Plenty of libs are saying fuck Louisiana and Texas because they are red states so they shouldn’t get any assistance.

    • TransComrade69 [she/her,ze/hir]33•4 years ago

      Good thing we aren't fucking libs. Donate if y'all can. No pressure though if it's not within your means to donate.

      • QuillQuote [they/them]3•4 years ago

        Thanks for making this post comrade, it's excellent to see this platform used for good like this

        • TransComrade69 [she/her,ze/hir]4•4 years ago

          Some people just need to be pointed in the right direction for getting involved or donating. I genuinely believe a lot of people here want to help in times like these but just don't know where to start. I want to use my position to make that kind of information as easily accessible as possible. This platform has the potential to be a major force for good if we can get back to subreddit numbers. Call me a bloomer, haha.

        The very voters who helped them stop the hated Bernie, no less

      • QuillQuote [they/them]0•4 years ago

        The libs say stuff like that because they hate chuds and leftists the way you hate people with such little regard for humanity. If we care for the people of Louisiana as much as we do all people, and are angered by the libs disrespect of these human beings, we're no better by saying what you have. That's exactly what you're mad at the libs for doing, just one layer up, "he's not hurting the right people" kind of thought process, and we should avoid it

        sorry, I'm pretty high so this might be a nonsenese tangent

      The areas that are getting hit by this storm are pretty poor and have very high minority populations. Fuck those assholes. It shouldn't even matter, there's no fucking political affiliation in a Cat 4 Hurricane.

  • LoeliaPonsonby [he/him,any]11•4 years ago

    Thanks for sharing. Chipped in and would message a receipt but I am not smart enough to not post my entire credit card number and social security number by accident.

    • TransComrade69 [she/her,ze/hir]8•4 years ago

      I looked at their Form 990s, their ratio of contribution and grant revenue to donations to local non-profits seemed reasonable to me. Salaries and other overhead were very reasonable as well. Much lower than I was expecting. You can find these here.

  • enki [he/him,they/them]2•4 years ago

    Donated a nice 20, like other people won't post a receipt cause I don't think I'm smart enough to not dox myself. Thank you for posting this!

    • TransComrade69 [she/her,ze/hir]2•4 years ago

      I'll take your word for it. I don't think people here are shitty enough to lie about donating for attention, haha. Thank you for your donation. o7
