I just…want to see something
If you can’t reblog this, unfollow me now.
Hi guys my health has been getting worse and I have been having an issue that is causing me severe pain so bad that I can’t sleep, I can’t eat, I can’t move without my pain meds. I have finally gotten ahold of the specialist I need to see, but my appointment isn’t for another month, and until then I’m just going to continue to be in pain, assuming I don’t die. I’m unemployed, I’m permanently disabled, I have no income whatsoever. I live with my mama and she can’t afford to pay for my meds either. Please help me, reblog this post if you can’t donate.

Firsty, thank you for reading this, and I hope you’ll get through it and give us the honor of a donation, firstly, and a reblog, secondly. Maybe even a note to any friends you have outside of tumblr!
If you don’t care about the history, skip to the bold at the end!
This is Temple Emanu-El, in Helena, Montana. At the time it was built, it was the only synagogue between Minneapolis, Minnesota, and Portland, Oregon. It was built with the hard work of the Jewish community that had come west to seek their fortune and stability, having heard that people were more willing to do business with Jews in the West, a place where social strictures were slightly relaxed. This turned out to be true, and the community thrived.
This picture resolves small on tumblr, but you can see the love and care they put into it. It’s modeled after the great synagogues of Europe, with heavy stonework, onion domes, and intricate stained glass. The president of the congregation cried at its opening and dedication.
As the years went on, the West became more settled, and for a series of socio-political reasons of which my History of the American West major ass is well aware but are ultimately unimportant to the issue at hand, Jewish communities left much of the interior west for metropolitan areas. By the 1930s, the Jewish community was so small that they could not justify the large and lavish worship center.
They sold it to the city for one dollar.
The promise made to them was that it would be used for the public good. The state readied the former temple for its new function as offices for Social and Rehabilitation Services, sandblasting of the Hebrew inscription, “Gate to the Eternal,” above the entry and removing the star-studded, painted domes.. The copper was stripped from the building and likely reused to re-clad the State Capitol’s dome at about the same time.
That lasted all of 40 years, when the State of Montana decided to let it sit idle and decay, so they could justify the sale of the building, sold for a pittance to the public good, to the Helena Catholic Diocese for $83,000 (this is an opinion of mine, though it is not an uneducated one, and I do firmly believe it. I do not, however, represent that they allowed it to fall into disrepair to justify the sale as objective fact.)
This is the building now
In a twist of fate, the diocese can no longer afford to maintain the building. They are selling it, and the Jewish community of Helena is trying to buy it.
The Montana Jewish Project is being far far far nicer and more politic about this than I would be, but in fairness, they actually how to get Nice Goyim to donate, and I don’t, so. The Diocese is spinning this as selling the building for much less than its worth, which may be true, but if you bought it for $83,000, that would be $280,000 now.
They are selling it for $925,000. And we have to have 70% of the purchase price by February 28th. Easy terms, right?
Here’s where you come in! If the idea of Montana’s Jews getting back the building that was sold to the Diocese in spite of the original agreement appeals to you, you can and should donate to their capital campaign. They even have an option for your donation where if we don’t get Emanu-El back, your money will be returned to you instead of being used for other MJP protects and repairs.
This place won’t just be used for the Jewish community, though I think that would be enough. They want it to be used as a museum and center for the community as well, to teach about Jewish life in Montana, with Jewish cooking classes, and social programs, and teaching non-Jews about Jewish customs and culture.
I just want to get the cross off the top.

Hello all, I try not to ask a lot of people, but my mother and I are once again in a tough spot. Last time I asked for help with our ambulance bill, y’all really pulled through and made it much much MUCH, less of a burden on us.
Right now, my family is down to one car from two that were given to us for free. They weren’t the best, but they got us through a lot and allowed us to get around town, which honestly is all we really needed.
My parents are separated but share this one car, and unfortunately that leads to a lot of unnecessary stress (mom has to take blood pressure medication currently, but is getting better) and complications. My dad, at 75 still works and mom is on a limited income, as am I.
Our car is on it’s last legs, no air or heat, a undercarriage that ruins tires even six months and is too much to fix, and out newest problem is the transmission going out. Currently we can only certain gears, and not even drive. It barely gets us to the grocery store.
Mom and I would really like to get a “new” used car, but we need some sort of down payment. At the vest least, we’d like to raise 500 usd but 1k would be even better. If you’re interested in supporting me, you can donate to the following (peace specify it’s for my mother/car payment)
