I like cats He/Him If you do not support the universality of human rights, you're a monster. If you support governments that commit genocide, you're a monster. Far too many individuals are unable to rise above those VERY low bars.

If you cannot donate yourself, spread this link as far and wide as you can: chuffed.org/project/1132... This is the best way I know to help as many people in Gaza as possible. The money gets to where it will do the most good for the largest number.
