There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there has always been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that "my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge." - Isaac Asimov (1980)

I’ll be brief. Due to the increasing costs to live we’ve gotten behind on our lot rent and in order to stay in our home we need to pay the front office ~$6,000 by tomorrow at the latest. Despite our efforts, and with some small help from a few friends and my sister who are also strapped, we have something less than $5,000 once my wife gets paid, making us short by about $1,000. Our daughter is special needs and I am sick and cannot work. My wife is also unwell, but she continues to labor on making all of our income. Even though it’s not my fault, I still feel guilty not being able to contribute, so I am doing the only thing I can and asking the internet for help.

Regardless of our desperate circumstance, I refuse to ask anyone to give more than $1. I strongly feel that our burden should not be a burden on others, but a larger community making small contributions can help meaningfully. Or, as someone once said, it takes a village. If you can give $1 a month, that would be a blessing. If you can only give once, I thank you. If you can share this and encourage others to help us with $1, that would be amazing. If enough people give, then we’ll be able to get through this.

I prefer not to think of the inevitable alternative. To give, please visit my Ko-Fi page. I’ve also written a longer post on this subject which you can read here. Thank you for your time and consideration. #help #mutualaid #giving
