A friend of a dear friend of mine has started this fundraiser for her daughter's friend in Ghana, Ubeida. She needs heart surgery. Her parents wanted her to go home to die. So far enough has been raised to get her testing, medication, and housing. She was sleeping outside with the mosquitos. Prayers, financial support, sharing to good hearts, and/or other help is very needed. Please and thank you!

Could your clothes be harmful to your health? In a word - Yes. The fabric on your bed could be too!

Let's reconsider clothes made from plastic such as nylon, acrylic, polyester and spandex.

Many of us who have intentionally removed or reduced plastics from our lives may not know that plastic bottles that contain toxins are in the clothes we wear and the beds we sleep in.

We have published a succinct article and a podcast on the topic that we recommend you take a look at linked to via https://campsite.bio/westonaprice! That article's introduction includes a scenario we anticipate many of you will relate to! Glass mason jars to store our food, but Lululemon on our bodies, anyone?

Sneak peek - You may be already be aware that polyester is made from plastic, but did you know that fleece is too? Our stores are filled with clothes, blankets and comforter covers made from recycled plastic bottles or petroleum based fabrics.

What do we recommend in place of these fabrics? Natural fibers such as cotton, silk, wool, linen, hemp, alpaca fleece, camel hair and spider silk. What about rayon? Rayon is known as a semi-synthetic material. As the fabric is sourced from plant material, it is not considered fully synthetic. However, because of the process to produce it that requires many steps and additional chemicals, it cannot be classified as a natural fabric either.

Seeking paid writing & editing assistance for beautiful Intuitive Community Network collaboration 💖

I'm seeking paid writing & editing assistance in a continuing arrangement going forward. 

The person I'm looking for is someone with whom I'm able to communicate very well, someone who uses Telegram Messenger and Google Docs with me, and someone with whom I can establish a weekly or monthly rate so that we can do more work together on a more regular ongoing basis. 

I am looking for someone whose functions and communications are extremely stable and reliable, and someone who is particularly attuned and responsive in communications.

The writing and editing is to support my needs and the needs of my working groups in the Intuitive Network, and for our 508(c)(1)(a) non-profit committed to organizing resources for the most severely disabled and invisible survivors of violence and families at intersections of hardship. It will include writing and editing for public communications and for private outreach.

Much of the assistance I need involves receiving unfinished text from me and helping me get it to a point of succinctness and clarity, or splitting it into pieces for that purpose...

...and making adjustments to it based on my requests, since often my eyesight and the motor functions of my hands and fingers aren't able to function with the available electronic devices. 

(For this reason, I frequently rely on voice messages exchanged on Telegram Messenger.)

We're establishing an initial block of funds for me to find the right person in a brief trial arrangement, then a block of funds to begin ongoing work together; and then our focus will be to use existing network resourcing to generate income that pays for that collaboration continuing forward.

Then we'll be expanding to more instances of this hiring of writing & editing assistance, because our worldwide network is full of severely disabled people who need specifically this form of assistance to restore their vocational and economic access. 

We'll be continually building more funding for more of these roles as events unfold.

Can you recommend yourself or someone else? Hit me up in DMs, through this contact page, by messaging me on Telegram (t.me/maxmorris), or commenting here.

With love,

Megan Elizabeth

' V2.0: Let’s make some Care Magic!
(written with input from colleagues <3)

Welcome to Monday! Who’s up for helping with a simple but worthy challenge?

My colleagues & I are reaching out in hopes of gathering at least $1000 in the next few hours, in order to scale back the urgency of situations for several individuals experiencing severe hardship. We would love to have you to participate, & it needn't take long <3

We’re part of a growing network of people who have been working creatively to help one another & our communities for years. We’ve learned a lot, & as able, make participation easy & fun - we are working to make lives better & giving neighbors a chance at a better future, & have high hopes for this to be increasingly nurtured & celebrated.

We are interested to tap into a shift we see - away from the unfortunate social norm of seeing other people experiencing ongoing hardship as hopeless tragedies with a lot of "I don't know what to do" moments - into discovery of ways to figure things out for the better. There's already huge momentum for people to fund the (care) gaps now… let’s connect & move in good ways!

If you have questions & ideas, are interested to network, or want to collaborate, please comment here or DM me @JohannaBotanica <3

Here’s a link to share funds: PayPal.me/xcriteria

We so deeply appreciate your contributions! They help keep our friends & community members alive & provide them more opportunities to gain quality of life & participate meaningfully in the world.

We won’t ask for more of your time, but if you would like to understand further, read on.

Here are some examples of current situations that we’re actively resourcing:

A disabled community member is stranded & sick in a hotel & needs urgent funds for medical supplies, food, & lodging costs, enough to give us time to make connections & find safe affordable housing.

Another of our community members is a full-time caregiver, & provider for a whole handful of disabled people, & is juggling too much in order to focus on all the entangled priorities, toward easing life-death situations for this group, on the daily. They need some funds to solve immediate problems, & more curious & kind people to be engaged in supporting their lives.

Another collaborator is on the streets without food again. He’s someone who has been a steady caregiver for other colleagues when he’s able. It shouldn’t be surprising that his mental health & will to live are greatly impacted by the repeated experience of this kind of hardship.

....

We’ve included the above details about current situations we are seeking funds & coordination for on an urgent basis, because that’s more familiar as far as fundraising via social networking goes.

However, we know how inundated many people are with emergency fundraisers; & for those in need, efforts at piecemeal supports that aren’t going to be enough to sustainably resolve their current hardships are increasingly exhausting & demoralizing.

My colleagues & I are compiling & innovating resources that will create & expand additional layers of social, physical & economic infrastructure that meet the needs of real people, so more of us will be able to continue to exist - & move forward.

Here in survivor-care coordination land, it's important that we receive monies & community support for our listening & knowledge translation work.

We are on a front line here, & we know well that situations can go distinctly different ways depending on how they're viewed & responded to. There is no substitute for lived experience & expertise!

From a colleague: “We're fundraising for immediate financial emergencies across a host of situations. Please know that we could put as much as $200,000 to work this week to fund the (currently unpaid) coordination work we do. We're in dialogue with funders but progress is slow; we invite creative hearing out & help brainstorming this!”

Thanks for reading, & i look forward to meeting more of you!

'Many communities across the Intuitive Network experience life-threatening resource crises, power outages, and other utility interruptions.

Intuitive Network architecture helps us gather essential communications about these challenges and coordinate solutions ongoing.

This work is especially pressing since recent widespread severe storm damage in Pittsburgh on 29 April, where much of the key hardware for our worldwide infrastructure is located — and where services have not yet been restored.

Intuitive is equipped to coordinate effective response in ways most organizations aren't; because we center collaborative dialogue approaches that ensure our most vulnerable community members can be heard, respected, and fully included as solutions move forward.

Our Substack readership and Telegram collaborators have been powerful allies in growing Intuitive Network response capacity over this past decade of building together.

We're so glad you're here.'

'The immediate shortlist of emergency supplies we're seeking includes:

A generator and fuel to run it (more details in this post)

A $150 battery pack to power disability aids, communication devices, and related network solutions (this one looks like it will work, and we're open to suggestions if you know of a better option)

Rechargeable AAA batteries like these

Brown chemical-free bleach-free Seventh Generation paper towels like these (especially while we are still unable to to run laundry machines)

2 hot water bottles (like these ones)

2 bottles of safe specific castor oil (this brand or this brand only)

Funds to replace special medical foods that have spoiled without refrigeration (crucially needed for those not able to digest other foods)

Local coordination to get ice to prevent remaining special medical foods from spoiling (there seems to be an ice shortage across Pittsburgh) and ensure safe storage for replacement foods.

Note: Though in all cases, we prefer small businesses instead of Amazon — right now, these supplies are needed on an immediate emergency basis. The swiftest surest delivery of the specific needed items will be the best option.

Thank you so much for your help.

Be in touch with Megan Elizabeth before making purchases to find out the swiftest route of delivery, or if transferring funds for us to make purchases directly is best.

Thank you for your prayers, re-shares, and reaching out. 💖

'The vehicle that's given us some limited option of charging internet connected devices to continue emergency coordination…

…now has warning lights indicating a problem that may prevent us using it to charge the device batteries that are allowing us to post updates here. 🥰'

'A generator and fuel to run it are our best approach to preserving medically-essential food — to power a freezer and have the option of directly recharging a battery backup for other necessary devices.

Having a generator dedicated to keeping Intuitive Network architecture online is a high leverage step for all the communities depending on us, including collaborators in Pittsburgh.

Two unpowered freezers at one location are currently filled with medical foods.
Much inside them has already advanced through defrosting, some begun to spoil, and variously, safe edibility unknown.
Other locations are similarly affected.

We're grateful for your help to keep our core organizers and community members fed during this time — with the crucial specific medical foods their bodies require — so that our work together can most beautifully succeed.'
