*TOTALLY OPTIONAL RANT BELOW*

I am one person selling collectibles to literally plant gardens to feed children. I don't want to seem manipulative - not the intent- just feel the need to be very real for once instead of pretending things are always pleasant irl. SO FAR I have been lucking out finding generous collectors by streaming and getting higher donations so my prices tend to be higher than normal.

Since 2022 I started selling a lot of my collectibles to raise money for people I know in real life who are experiencing famine in 2025 MOSTLY due to the Ukraine war but also because NGOs and major charity groups (that SHOULD be helping) have been doing almost nothing and seem to rather enjoy hoarding resources or asking locals for bribes instead of distributing money and food as they claim to.

If people buy from me, most of the money gets sent directly to two families with children that have been trying to build up a subsistence farm for their own food production. I am one person, not backed by any church or charity organization. I figure instead of sending food why not help folks build farms and grow crops for their own community so that those poor charities can keep the donations as God intended.

Sorry to rant but its been up and down so much since 2022 and none of the big NGOs are really equipped (or just aren't interested) in deploying necessary resources. Some good folks work at Red Cross and USAID related organizations but the vast majority of these organizations behind the scenes are diverting donated food and resources to the government or people who can pay or have influence. That's why I am fixing things. Please help me out and share the links to my items or if you are a collector, please consider paying MORE than usual to help get the current irrigation project finished. Progress is slow but very close to a significant water improvement for increased crop capacity.
