The last week I have been in Florida for work. Saturday I got one of the worst calls I have ever had, My Fiancée’s Mother passed away in her sleep suddenly and unexpected. I was able to change my flight to get home early and be with her and it has been a whirlwind.
We have set up a #gofundme to help with funeral and celebration of life arrangements. If you can donate responsibly we would be much appreciated. Thank you.

I ordered a device called a BT Speak about a week ago. It is a PDA-like device, with an 8-dot Perkins style Braille keyboard and speech output for the visually impaired.
When I got the device, it did not boot, and I contacted the company about it.
I was able to get the device working again by myself rather quickly, however here in lies the reason for my post.
The company were so quick to respond that a replacement unit is already on the way.
After some discussion, what has been decided is that I will be donating the replacement device, brand new, to a visually impaired child who may not be able to procure assistive technology via other means.

I do not actually know many parents of visually impaired children in the UK. So, I would be very appreciative if one of you kind souls would point me in the right direction to find someone who could make use of it.
The device usually retails for £1400, not including VAT and import fees, all of which shall be paid for.
If you do not know anyone, then boosts for reach would also be appreciated.
Thank you all for your assistance with keeping our young visually impaired children learning Braille. #blind#fedi#mastodon#UK#disabled#donation#AT

@onfoss armagetron tournament ended and the winner is Dromdan! 🥂
He chose to donate the prize (25€) to Bzflag.
The winner had the chance to choose to which project that money should have been donated :)
In case you lost it - a #link to the #eSIM#donation guide. Even if you feel sick and powerless, you can at least do this. And even if you really, really can't #donate, you can always at least #share this and #remind others.
Please keep donating because the crisis is beyond high, the needs are many & we need to show our global humanity over cruel geopolitics & BS power games by government asshats.
Israel put #diabetic pens on list of dangerous & prohibited #HumanitarianAid items. So they'd be OK killing people like my Mom who would die without diabetic #medical supplies.
I urge you all to contact your national #diabetes agencies & demand that they issue public statements on this AND demand they publish letters to govts about this block of essential medical aid.
