As some may know i ended up being the face for an initiative to help the ladies that are in trouble in the next few weeks. Here is my gift from the day.
There are some clever people here. Thanks for sharing your insights.
There are always people worse off than us. One lady is having a baby in the next few days. Very little support structure available. Want to change places with her? Another was a very friendly smiling lady and her young daughter. We unpacked the stuff into a one bedroom flat with no(!) furniture i could see. They moved here very recently. Want to trade places? A mother on drugs that knows she has to feed her kids yet cant even look after herself. Want to trade places?
Anne Franks (jew in amsterdam during Holocaust) stayed in a cupboard for 2 years. Want to change places?
I found it such a humbling experience! Yes i am a freelancer and will not be making hay soon, but i have nothing to complain!! So many of you thanked me on various platforms, yet i feel i am the blessed one!!
Thanks to the 15 donors. Some gave money, some pledged, some gave effort and some will still help tomorrow etc. Obviously it is unfortunately again some of the same folks helping again and some names obvious in their absence, but i dont want to dwell on that.
I want to celebrate life! A life where purple people can stand together, where ladies stop competing and help each other. Where ubuntu gets life outside of slogans and retoric.
Thank you for the honour of showing me the beauty of support. Support is best played as a team sport and is way better as participant. Its not as great as a spectator sport.
On the realistic sober side. End if March bills will be difficult after some 2/3 of the month as working time. April bills willbe worse after about 1/3 of the month to work. Know it. Plan for it. Nail it!! We can!!!
To the punters saving money at home: watch a lot of porn and grow tired of the inadequacy of mrs palmer. Save the petrol money of this 21 days. Save the fancy dress cost by living in pj's for the month and when we get out of lockdown, go visit like its your last week on earth. The ladies will be rested and eager and skillful as always. Go do your duty and help them make a months money in 2 weeks. Book in advance!!! Book 3 a day! Its not only your privilege, its your duty!!!
Jokes aside. Thanks all for all the help so far and still to come. You make it possible!!
For thevfuture:
Please plan to punt. Im not joking! Even those we did not help this round, will be hard pushed for next month, so please be proactive and let 'em work for it!!! You will see how good and willing you will find them :)
It is an honour to know you all
