I'm starting to think about the next blog post, but while I do that, what did you think of the last edition? Did I cover all the ways you use to get help from within NVDA? https://www.nvaccess.org/post/in-process-7…th-august-2026/#help
Perhaps next edition, we should cover how to get help from others? What would you include there?

SOURCE: SOCIALPSYCHOLOGY.ORGTITLE: Gratitude Makes People More Helpful, But Bystander Effect Persists
Source: PsyPost
A new study has found that feeling grateful increases a person's willingness to help others. However, experiencing gratitude does not make individuals immune to the bystander effect—a psychological phenomenon in which people are less likely to intervene when other bystanders are present. The findings suggest that gratitude boosts overall helpfulness but does not change our tendency to hold back when responsibility can be shared with a crowd.

So yeah—helping others helps yourself. Not because you want a prize. But because that’s how life works. Pass it on.

How Can I Make A Difference?
It's easy to think we need to do something extraordinary to make a difference. But God often uses the smallest acts of kindness to create life-changing and eternal impact. In today's Gem of Knowledge, the Lord reminds us, "Giant impacts can come from small things. Think of a meteor. They are fairly small compared to the impact they make. Your loving kindness can be like that to a hurting heart. Amen." What a beautiful picture. A meteor is tiny compared to a planet, yet when it collides with the earth, its impact can be enormous. In much the same way, a simple act of kindness may seem insignificant to us, but we rarely see the lasting effect it has on another person's heart. Do something loving today. 💎https://gemsofknowledge.com/2026/07/13/how-can-i-make-a-difference/

Hope For Those Hurting and Struggling
There are people all around us who are quietly hurting. The greatest gift we can offer them is simply pointing them to Jesus. What a beautiful calling. Our world doesn't need more people pointing out how dark things are. It needs believers who gently point hurting hearts toward the Light. Reach out. Love them. Bring them hope. God doesn't ask us to save people—that's His work. He simply asks us to help them find the One who can. 💎https://gemsofknowledge.com/2026/07/10/hope-for-those-hurting-and-struggling/

Stand in the Gap
Someone around you is fighting a battle you'll never see. Behind many smiles are hidden struggles, fear, anxiety, and despair. As followers of Christ, we're called to do more than notice—we're called to pray, encourage, and lovingly point people to Jesus. You may never know how God uses your kindness or your prayers to change someone's life. Stand in the gap today. ✨Click to read the full devotional -
Watching From Afar: Processing the Venezuela Earthquakes and How We Can Help
Note: Go to the end of the article to find links on how to help.
On June 24, 2026, the ground shook in a way my home country has not experienced in more than a century. Two powerful earthquakes struck north-central Venezuela. It began with a magnitude 7.2 foreshock and was followed just 39 seconds later by a massive 7.5 mainshock along the San Sebastián fault system.
I try to think about the numbers but any attempt quickly dissolve into deep human pain. The official death toll has tragically climbed past 3300 people (it’s likely way more high), with over 16000 injured and tens of thousands missing or displaced, especially in heavily hit areas like La Guaira, Yaracuy, and parts of Caracas.
The Relief of Safety, the Weight of Grief
When the news first broke, my heart dropped instantly. My immediate instinct was to check on my family and friends. Because they live in Mérida and other regions that were spared the worst of the violent shaking, I received the message that every person prays for in a crisis: We are safe.
Yet, knowing your immediate inner circle is out of danger does not stop the heartbreak. There is a unique, heavy kind of collective grief that hits you when your country is suffering. You find yourself navigating a profound sense of gratitude mixed with an intense ache for the thousands of families who did not receive a reassuring text message. It is a stark reminder of how fragile our systems are and how quickly everything can change. I have cried so much
Turning Grief Into Action: Reputable Ways to Help
Now, I deeply believe in focusing on solutions and practical steps when the world feels chaotic. The most functional thing we can do from afar is direct our resources to vetted, reputable organizations that are actively managing mass casualties, treating patients, and setting up temporary shelters.
If you are looking for a way to make a tangible impact, these organizations are currently on the ground delivering critical relief:
OrganizationPrimary Focus AreaImpact on the GroundCruz Roja VenezolanaFirst aid and search operationsDeploying local volunteer networks, organizing ambulance services, and distributing basic survival kits.UNICEFChild protection and healthSupplying clean drinking water, temporary learning spaces, and therapeutic food for displaced children.ACNUR (UNHCR)Displaced families and shelterConstructing temporary transit camps and providing emergency supplies to families who lost their homes.PAHO / WHO (Couldn’t find a direct way to donate)Health systems and trauma careDeploying medical and engineering teams to restore hospital workflows and deliver critical surgical supplies.Every single contribution helps these teams clear debris, distribute medicine, and offer a lifeline to people navigating their darkest moments. Let us show up for the people of Venezuela with practical solidarity and kindness. I made my donation and plan on keep donating. I ask you from the bottom of my heart to donate, share ways to donate, or raise awareness of this horrible tragedy. I also thank you, wonderful stranger. I hope you and your loved ones are safe and sound.

Laws Every Scout Should Know
Being a Scout means more than camping, hiking, and earning merit badges. Scouts are also expected to be good citizens who understand the rules and laws that help keep our communities safe and fair. While Scouts are not expected to be lawyers, learning about important laws can help them become informed and responsible leaders. 1.

#PortlandOR - From #AssetToTheResistance
"What we do...
As assets for the resistance we have the privilege and responsibility to address economic inequality. This includes educating our communities about the capitalist system, how it impacts them, and how to navigate it with a sense of power. We aim to do this by creating a referral network through the Asset to the Resistance website, offering grassroots fiscal education and providing Q&A sessions with RMP’s. We hope to build a stronger, more equitable community, one where we talk about money and privilege openly and with vulnerability for the purpose of supporting the broader social justice movement."
#MutualAid in #PDX (a very incomplete list)
- #FoodNotBombs: #FreeFood to the community, no judgment or preaching
- #ReallyReallyFreeMarket: a gathering of leftists in public places to give stuff to people who need it. Anything from clothes and books to narcan and art supplies.
- #FreeFridges: all over town are comrades willing to stock fridges and pantries facing public sidewalks for anyone in the community to come grab free food and supplies.
- #PIRC (Portland #ImmigrantRights Coalition): a larger nonprofit that supports autonomous mutual aid groups to self-organize using the training and skills they provide to report and record immigration law enforcement, as well as connect families and community to legal support.
- #PDXICEWatch: is keeping an eye on activity as well
- #CLEARClinic: Folks providing #FreeLegalServices to break down various legal barriers including court record relief, #housing justice, and immigration justice
- #WERQTogether: are people providing resources for #queer communities, specifically focusing on #trans community support and funding to get trans folks to safety
- #RadicalAbundance: is a radical thrift shop at 1805 NE Cesar Chavez Blvd that provides a sliding scale pricing system that does allow for free clothes and stuff for those who need it
- #HeaterBloc: While they are no longer active, this link shows how someone could (and has) build heaters out of cheap materials that are tip-over-safe and good to heat a tent or small room for someone who needs that, and potentially give them out for free if they wanted to organize around making that happen
- #MendingBloc: A network of people who know how to sew and mend offering their services to repair clothes, sleeping bags, tents, and other things, and teaching people to mend things themselves.
- #RainbowBloc: A group of folks doing general street support, #ClothingSwaps, #zine fairs, #MigraWhistle kits, and other community support that pivots based on current community needs.
- Asset to the #Resistance: #RadicalAccountants helping others for free to navigate the tax or grant system.
- #PetBloc: providing #FreePetFood and warm clothing for pets living with folks who may experience #homelessness
- #FrontLineMedics and #PortlandStreetMedicine: People with varying degrees of first responder training learning together and training others on how to safely and effectively deploy #IFAK kits and otherwise provide community first aid care directly to the community.
- The People’s Store, Matzah Bloc, Southeast Community Free Store, Free Lunch Collective, Be Loved Bloc, and a number of other groups who prefer not to have much presence online are all dedicated to providing material support to folks surviving on the streets of Portland.
- #PrinterBloc provides printing services for those wanting to publish zines."

#PortlandOR - From #AssetToTheResistance
"What we do...
As assets for the resistance we have the privilege and responsibility to address economic inequality. This includes educating our communities about the capitalist system, how it impacts them, and how to navigate it with a sense of power. We aim to do this by creating a referral network through the Asset to the Resistance website, offering grassroots fiscal education and providing Q&A sessions with RMP’s. We hope to build a stronger, more equitable community, one where we talk about money and privilege openly and with vulnerability for the purpose of supporting the broader social justice movement."
#MutualAid in #PDX (a very incomplete list)
- #FoodNotBombs: #FreeFood to the community, no judgment or preaching
- #ReallyReallyFreeMarket: a gathering of leftists in public places to give stuff to people who need it. Anything from clothes and books to narcan and art supplies.
- #FreeFridges: all over town are comrades willing to stock fridges and pantries facing public sidewalks for anyone in the community to come grab free food and supplies.
- #PIRC (Portland #ImmigrantRights Coalition): a larger nonprofit that supports autonomous mutual aid groups to self-organize using the training and skills they provide to report and record immigration law enforcement, as well as connect families and community to legal support.
- #PDXICEWatch: is keeping an eye on activity as well
- #CLEARClinic: Folks providing #FreeLegalServices to break down various legal barriers including court record relief, #housing justice, and immigration justice
- #WERQTogether: are people providing resources for #queer communities, specifically focusing on #trans community support and funding to get trans folks to safety
- #RadicalAbundance: is a radical thrift shop at 1805 NE Cesar Chavez Blvd that provides a sliding scale pricing system that does allow for free clothes and stuff for those who need it
- #HeaterBloc: While they are no longer active, this link shows how someone could (and has) build heaters out of cheap materials that are tip-over-safe and good to heat a tent or small room for someone who needs that, and potentially give them out for free if they wanted to organize around making that happen
- #MendingBloc: A network of people who know how to sew and mend offering their services to repair clothes, sleeping bags, tents, and other things, and teaching people to mend things themselves.
- #RainbowBloc: A group of folks doing general street support, #ClothingSwaps, #zine fairs, #MigraWhistle kits, and other community support that pivots based on current community needs.
- Asset to the #Resistance: #RadicalAccountants helping others for free to navigate the tax or grant system.
- #PetBloc: providing #FreePetFood and warm clothing for pets living with folks who may experience #homelessness
- #FrontLineMedics and #PortlandStreetMedicine: People with varying degrees of first responder training learning together and training others on how to safely and effectively deploy #IFAK kits and otherwise provide community first aid care directly to the community.
- The People’s Store, Matzah Bloc, Southeast Community Free Store, Free Lunch Collective, Be Loved Bloc, and a number of other groups who prefer not to have much presence online are all dedicated to providing material support to folks surviving on the streets of Portland.

#MutualAid Is Having a Moment in #PortlandOR. Here Are 5 Initiatives to Support.
An unscientific guide to the proliferating number of groups providing aid to those in need.
By Fiona McCann June 14, 2021
"After a year and change of pandemic life, what’s left but to help each other out? Portlanders have stepped up to supply each other with everything from funds for gas bills to warm dim sum via a proliferation of mutual aid groups. There’s even a podcast now to help guide you through it all (find the #MutualAidCoalitionNorthwest on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and wherever else you get your podcasts—for free, natch.) Here are five initiatives to restore your faith in the kindness of strangers.
Started by a 19-year-old college freshman, Tutoring Bloc offers free tutoring via Zoom to underresourced students, pairing pupils from preschool to college with volunteer tutors. They also help those interested get library cards and access to books.
#PetBlocPDXGot a pet in need of a home? Having trouble looking after your furry friends? PetBlocPDX has your back, offering supplies—pet treats, canine coats, and more—and financial assistance for pets and their people.
#PDXWoodBlocPDX Wood Bloc, who per their Twitter account are '#anarchists with no money who collect and give out wood to people in Portland,' found themselves in high demand after power outages last February prompted a mad dash for other heat sources. They continue to offer yard cleanups and firewood donations for summer campfires.
#MendingBlocFrom #Mending clothes for protesters and community members to sharing #zines on how to sew on patches, Mending Bloc also shows up with masks and pins at events, and offers to repurpose fabric into everything from balaclavas to pet vests.
So Many #FoodBlocs
It being Portland, there’s a bloc for what feels like every item in the pantry—hot potatoes (Potato Bloc) to tamales (Tamale Bloc) and more. For a full list of these and other blocs or mutual aid orgs, check out the '211 directory of PDX blocs' Bloc Bloc PDX."
