Today we want to celebrate our friends at Living Hope Wheelchair Association!

They got started in 2005 when the Harris County Hospital District decided to stop providing necessary medical supplies to people with spinal cord injury that were non Medicaid eligible.

🏳️‍⚧️ Our friends in LA just carried out a kit building day for HRT harm reduction supplies 🏳️‍⚧️

As some of you may know, we did not initially have California in mind as one of the recipient states of the HRT Harm Reduction Toolkits. However...

This equipment now supports people living with disabilities across Lebanon, including Palestinians currently residing in camps due to the war.

“At a time when Lebanon’s economic crisis has deeply strained healthcare and support systems, this assistance is both urgent and transformative.”

Our partners Anera recently shared this update with us from Lebanon! Thanks to a generous donation from the Afya Foundation we were able to supply Anera with mobility aids such as wheelchairs and crutches and other medical equipment.

For anyone needing a boost today- check out the kind folks of Nashville coming together to build 100 everything-but-the-meds HRT kits for trans people in their community 💜

That’s a year’s worth of harm reduction supplies for 100 people. Thank you Nashville, with more to come!

As with most of our aid deliveries, they only succeed because a range of mutual aid groups come together. This time, the effort began in Scotland, where The Highlands Support Refugees collected and prepared much-needed items including children’s and women’s clothing, rucksacks, and shoes.

Shipment arrival on Samos!

Samos volunteers provide a range of services for asylum seekers on one of the Greek islands where people are still seeking safety. Now they have new supplies to add to their activity spaces and free shop!

Given the themes we usually cover in our newsletter, this one doesn't feel like it should be as controversial as the reactions seem to indicate. We're staging an argument in defense of the aid middlemen 🫣 Give it a read and share your thoughts!

Let’s go LA! Our partners @solidarityprojects just got a delivery of diapers, wipes, kid’s hygiene items, and baby clothes from @baby2baby. They will be given out for free to fire survivors, unhoused folks, and people impacted by immigration raids in the Los Angeles area. 👶 🍼

The EU is preparing to spend billions of euros to ensure that desperate people seeking safety have nowhere to go.

Why would they do this? Who benefits from it? And how can we fight back?

Working like a well-oiled machine, the team built a full production line and finished in just 2 hours. The kits were made using supplies sourced by Distribute Aid.

There’s still a mountain of supplies left, and this is just the beginning. Austin Mutual Aid is energized and so are we! 🏳️⚧️✨
August 12, 2025 at 3:00 PM
The first batch of HRT Toolkits is complete! 🎉

This weekend, 10 volunteers from Austin Mutual Aid and local trans-led orgs came together to assemble 120 kits. These contain the medical equipment to safely administer gender-affirming hormone therapy. That’s enough to support 120 years of care!
August 12, 2025 at 3:00 PM
It's only a matter of time before the next major disaster. Except this time, FEMA might not show up at all.

The @distributeaid.org team has your back. Do you have ours?

Get your game bundle and get our 6 aid hubs in the US filled up before disaster strikes!

Governments are slashing aid budgets—but disasters aren’t slowing down. This month’s newsletter lays out why frontline orgs can’t keep running on fumes, and how we stay prepared in the face of chaos.

Catch the highlights and a little penguin poop trivia 🐧
