A couple years ago, our awesome friends Puck and Nat got married and bought a home. Less than a year later, they discovered their home had been a meth house. To everyone's shock, their insurance did NOT cover it, and the seller was not liable. They lost their home and many of their possessions. Today, Puck and Nat are almost financially recovered, and are living in their own apartment again for the first time after years of living with family. Will you help them buy the things they need for their home? We would love you forever! You can donate money to their youcaring, OR find Puck and Nat's Amazon wishlist on the youcaring page and buy them a household item or two. If you really wanted to buy us a rolling kitchen cart, now's your chance!!

Dr. Chuck Tingle's Alternative Fact Warehouse stocks the alternative facts Dakin and I will need to survive our first year of marriage, and the years of fascism ahead. Each alternative fact you buy is good for one use in this timeline. Choose from facts like "JOM HAMM IS YOUR HANDSOME ONLINE BUD WHO LIKES TO SKYPE" or "DOMALD TROMP CARES ABOUT THE POOR AND DISENFRANCHISED." (Each alternative fact is actually a donation to Planned Parenthood.)

The ACLU is one of our greatest protectors. We *need* you to become a card-carrying member! (We're already members.) You can give a one time donation, but a recurring monthly donation (any amount) is best.

For trans people, a passport can be the fastest and easiest way to get legal documentation that confirms your gender. It's expensive, though. They especially want donors who can give $300-500, but anything over $100 is greatly appreciated. The website has details about donating at any amount.

River Laurence, age 5, passed away on June 15, after a long and courageous battle with neuroblastoma and the impact of treatment on his body. River's mama, Joscelyn, is an old friend of Amy's. Please consider buying them a gift card for meals from their Amazon wish list--it's a good, practical way to show them support in this time of grief.

Girls Who Code is a great national org preparing young people for careers in coding. Give 'em some love!

This classroom at Castlemont High School includes refugees from Central America. Their teacher is trying to help them learn meditation to cope. Amy worked with Castlemont High students when she was at Eastmont Branch of OPL. These students face enormous challenges and deal with the trauma of a high-crime neighborhood as well as their own pasts. Peace of mind for them = gold.

Ear canals suck, right?!?! No, actually our pal Wolfy has a mass in his ear canal that makes him get ear infections all the time, and the vet has now told us that the best thing we can do for him is an ear canal ablation, aka they just take the whole dang thing out. What he'll lose in hearing from the right, he'll gain in comfort. If you want to chip in as your wedding gift to us, we'd love it!

Can you even get over this family and how cool they are? We cannot. River's mama is an old friend of Amy's, and she's doing an amazing job supporting her four-year-old through cancer treatment and recovery. It has not been an easy road and River still has to fight very hard every day. It would mean a lot if you direct some love and support their way.
