CHARITYWARE

This software is ‘Free Libre Open Source Software’ (FLOSS) even if you are a heartless individual who despises immigrants fleeing oppression in their homeland.

That being said and inspired by Vim and their request to help orphans in Uganda, it the request of the author of this software (Michael A. Peters, not YellowJacket GNU/Linux specifically) that if you can afford to do so, you make a donation to one or both of the following organizations that provide much needed help to undocumented immigrants within America.

For those who not within America, you can likely find organizations within your own country that are similar in nature.

Movimiento Cosecha

Website: https://www.lahuelga.com/

From their website (see https://www.lahuelga.com/about):

Cosecha is a nonviolent movement fighting for permanent protection,
dignity, and respect for the 11 million undocumented immigrants in
the United States. Our name, "harvest" in Spanish, honors the long
tradition of farmworker organizing and the present-day pain of the
thousands of undocumented workers whose labor continues to feed the
country. Committed to winning real victories for our community,
Cosecha believes in using non-cooperation to leverage the power of
immigrant labor and consumption and force a meaningful shift in
public opinion.

National Immigrant Justice Center

Website: https://immigrantjustice.org/

From their website (see https://immigrantjustice.org/about-nijc):

Heartland Alliance’s National Immigrant Justice Center (NIJC) is
dedicated to ensuring human rights protections and access to justice
for all immigrants, refugees and asylum seekers.

With offices in Chicago, Indiana, San Diego, and Washington, D.C.,
NIJC provides direct legal services to and advocates for these
populations through policy reform, impact litigation, and public
education. Since its founding three decades ago, NIJC has been
unique in blending individual client advocacy with broad-based
systemic change.

A Teacher from Nazareth:

“I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me
  drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me.”

A Teacher from Tarsus

“Love does no wrong to a neighbor; therefore love is the fulfilling
  of the law.”

A Teacher from Babylon

“Now this was the sin of Sodom. She and her people were arrogant,
  overfed, and lacking in empathy. They would not help the poor or
  those in need.”
