Now, tonight's urgent local needs. It will probably be at least Wednesday night before I have any feel for how many hot meals [and on what days] the shelter still needs for the month. But once I do know? That will be VERY URGENT. - ThreadSky

Now, tonight's urgent local needs.

It will probably be at least Wednesday night before I have any feel for how many hot meals [and on what days] the shelter still needs for the month.

But once I do know? That will be VERY URGENT.

In the meantime, the outreach wishlist for unhouesd folks is here: https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/3PE2CRJI4ADHM?type=wishlist&filter=persistent_all&sort=priority&viewType=list.

Do NOT use "Buy Now." Put it in your cart, then change the shipping address. "Taos Shelter Me" gift registry address will appear at the top of the list. USE THAT ONE.

And tonight, I have two GFMs for cancer patients, one local and one the daughter of locals [our niece and her husband].

The first one REALLY needs traction. It's disgraceful, the lack of local support.

This is the grandson/nephew of our local bead ladies, who supply the beads on those works by Wings that you love to wear. It's been over a month since the last donation. This needs A LOT of love: https://gofund.me/ed4ca951.

Do the local bead ladies have a site for purchasing their beads? I'd be interested in throwing some business their way.

They have a site, but not yet a way to shop online.

The site itself is here: https://thunderlizardbeads.com/.

If you're looking for something specific, I can always find out whether they have it and how much, and you can probably order over the phone with a card.

Also, their inventory? Is AMAZING. They have price points for literally everybody, from incredibly inexpensive materials you'd buy for kids to work with to really, REALLY high-end strands that sell for thousands [and everything in between].

The second one is the daughter of our niece's husband [form his first marriage; it's our niece's stepdaughter]. They live around the curve from us; Marcela lives in Iowa. She's at nearly 40%, but it's a long road, medically and financially: https://gofund.me/e4426b6a.

And yes, we've donated to both, more than once.

We don't ask people to do what we're not willing to do and have already done.
