All right, y'all, something URGENT. It's going to be 11 degrees below zero here tonight; wind chills worse than -20. People die in these temps.
Our local shelter is opening to EVERYONE, including pets. A lot of folks will need transportation to get there.

My homelands are the Great Lakes. I know from cold.
This is something else entirely, with a poverty level people can't imagine and a complete lack of infrastructure.

We're in extreme northern New Mexico
It's my husband whose people are Indigenous here, but he doesn't do social media, only the art; my own are Indigenous to the Upper Midwest, but we moved here when I was very young b/c of my dad's lung disease
We also have an influx of colonial corporate development that's pushing local people out into the streets at record levels; I've never seen it this bad as this year.
[It's also not us, it's the nonprofit whose donation link I posted. They're the local shelter, among other work they do.]
BE SURE TO SPECIFY TWO THINGS:
Please donate if you can and share the original
And where it asks "Would you like your donation to go to a specific program? *", check the box next to "NEST: Navigating Emergency Support Together"
Please scrounge up whatever you can, and help them keep folks safe tonight.
And if you give, let me know [here or DM] so I can track how close we are to goal.
THANK YOU❤️
Wow, y'all rock. About $1700 to go; how fast can we do it?
$1660 needed
[This is a county with a small population but a big land area; it will take multiple drivers some hours to cover everything.]
