Can I get some kicks and recs for the wonderful people in our community who support each other?
I posted a week or so ago about a job loss and some other things. I wouldn't have made it through the month if it hadn't been for the incredible people around me who stepped up and helped me out.
I wanted to post something like this before, but hadn't gotten around to it. I think this is a fitting place. Thank you to whoever came up with it--it's a great idea 
In the center of human life are those who hold it together. They make home what it is. They listen to "leaders", receive, decide. Whatever country is, whatever a profession, a town--they establish that.

A heartfelt thank you to all those who hold it together. You are those who make the world a better place.

I'm sorry you're going through this.

Hang in there. 
Kick in to the DU tip jar?
This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.
As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
