Some of our other Kossacks need a little lift to get over a hump. Maybe it’s an unexpected medical bill. Maybe there’s a life situation that has come up and requires resources beyond regular income. Maybe they just got behind and need help getting their footing again. For whatever reason they need help, Wednesdays are the day the Street Prophets focus on those needs. Maybe you’ve skipped over this weekly diary, thinking the little you can give won’t make a difference. But you don’t have to meet a person’s entire need. If we all join together, the small amounts each person can contribute will add up to enough to make a difference in someone’s life. Even $2 or $5 or $10, when added to the mickle that others give, can be all that it takes.

These people are our own. Please do what you can.

If helping financially isn’t the right choice for you at this time, you can still help. Tip and rec the diary so it stays visible. Share on social media: Twitter, Facebook, whatever platform you use, to bring the attention of others outside our daily readers. And offer words of encouragement to people who are struggling. It can be scary to be struggling, and it can feel lonely. Let them know we understand and are here to help.

Anke was a rather ordinary tabby cat, stray and wild. She moved into my barn, where she had a litter of absolutely gorgeous kittens.

Anke.

Muller.

Muller and friends.

I was determined not to take them in. They could live their lives wild and free, with the protection of the barn, regular meals brought to them, and TNR. That beautiful white puffball, though, had different ideas.

Muller tamed himself. Every day when I came home from work, he would bound out of the barn and bounce across the grass to greet me. Eventually he insisted he was coming inside. So of course, he did. He spent ten years sharing my pillow. He was sweet and gentle and loving, just born that way.
