The Leftist Cooks

A really happy update for you. Ophelia and Zahra, the two assylum seekers we interviewed in our last video have recieved €8,500 in donations as of today. Its a life-changing amount of money and especially needed in their circumstances. Neilly and I (Sarah here, hello) are going on holiday for the next ten days, so they're staying at our place while we're away, and for the first time since they got to Ireland have been able to do a proper grocery shop and are looking at a few days of being housed in a warm private environment with safe food. If you were interested in giving them anything, the link is here: ko-fi.com/zahraandophelia

If you don't know what we're talking about, then you haven't seen our last video (and apparently a lot of people are in that boat, it seems the notifications did not go out?) Anyway, you should watch it! It's good! The link to view is here: https://youtu.be/tEFOUP866ls

Finally, a number of other assylum seekers in Ireland have reached out to us since the video has come out. If that's you, please consider joining our discord here (discord.gg/gvr7KquJDq). We're going to be useless until early January, and even then we aren't sure what we can do to help, but we are trying to think of something. At the very least we can provide a digital space for everyone in the same situation to pool resources and strategies. (You can also join the discord if you're not an assylum seeker, it's a nice space).

Thank you to everyone who has watched us over the last year. We're so grateful for you. And a special thanks to everyone who gave to us on Patreon (at www.patreon.com/c/TheLeftistCooks), which allows us to make our art without having to take money from sponsors. We feel incredibly lucky to be in that position, so thank you very much. - Sarah and Neilly [who is looking after the baby]
