ask-north-korea: ask-north-korea:ask-north-korea:Hello everyone! It’s been a tough year for us all, and I wish I had been a bit more active on here. Still, I thank you for supporting me along the way! For the fourth year in the row, I will be running a fundraising campaign for Liberty in North Korea, an organization that works to help people fleeing the North Korean regime safely make it to freedom. So, I’ve set up a Liberty in North Korea (LiNK) fundraising page, the link to which can be found in my blog description or as a secondary reblog of this post (posts with links won’t show in the tags).Since Hetalia is back and in the spotlight (and not always in the best way), I want to prove that Hetalians aren’t just here for stereotypes and parody–our involvement in this fandom has changed many of us for the better, enlightening us to people and cultures we may have never otherwise known or cared about. Therefore, in honor of Hetalia’s 2021 return, I’m setting the goal this year at $500, the most ambitious yet since I’ve been running these fundraisers, by January 1st. According to LiNK, $100 is what it costs them to provide shelter and food for a family of four for one night. As a fandom, we can provide care for a family of four for five nights. Think about that…a fandom full a people who love these silly, endearing personifications of the nations of the world, providing safety and shelter to people fleeing famine and authoritarianism.I know people can be strapped for cash this time of year, so don’t feel bad if you can’t donate! You can still reblog this post to help more people see it! I will also reblog this post with some more information about LiNK if you would like to learn more about what challenges North Korean refugees face and what sort of work LiNK does for them! Let’s band together and change someone’s life for the better! Here’s the link to donate! Hey, so I’ve had several artists come forward and offer up their art skills in exchange for donations! If you would like to “commission” them, you just need to work out with them what you want, donate the price of the commission to the link above, and show them a copy of your email receipt from LiNK. Their commission posts are linked below if you want to check them out!willhelp-exesnakeningelartsyaphnoahopsidiqiusbrain-meatz Update, we have another artist offering commissions!thatgrassismyass Also, LiNK currently has a donor who is matching donations, so if you donate today you may actually end up contributing double what you actually donated! -- source link
