Be in Solidarity - Gift Money

"I don't believe in charity; I believe in solidarity. 
Charity is vertical, so it's humiliating. It goes from top to bottom. 
Solidarity is horizontal. It respects the other and learns from the other. 
I have a lot to learn from other people."

-Eduardo Galeano

Seed new beginnings...

Picture
There are two options for your show of financial solidarity through the LTSST Housing effort:
  • Solidarity Gifting -  commit to a specific amount of monthly to seed fund  a family's new beginning for six months or longer.  Funds can be sent to LTSST who will  designate  to a family. Offering can be made  anonymously if that is preferred.​
  • Solidarity Partnering -   engage  and build relationship *as desired and guided by the receiving  family*  both by making a monthly financial offering and by being in contact with the family to offer other forms of support. (Such as assisting with costs of childcare or education needs, unexpected expenses for vehicles,  running errands, or navigating the process of accessing additional support - loans, health or financial aid, etc). Before partnering  families, the LTSST housing team will explore  the partnering option with those interested  and establish open channels for communication around  cultural competency, seeing through an equity lens, and implicit bias awareness.
As we flow money from the spaces where it is accruing, to the people of our community who contribute greatly to our economic vitality and whose homes and savings have been devastated by the Almeda Fire, we begin tipping the scale towards equity.

​We begin living the life and creating the world our hearts know is possible.

This show of solidarity will support impacted families in coming out of a trauma and survival stress state and into equilibrium. 


Solidarity gifting and partnering can be offered from anywhere in the world. They can be relatives and friends of ours who are saying “what a tragedy! Tell me how I can help!” 

Helping is the antidote to helplessness.
