Okay, this Kagi translation tool is pretty entertaining (and an absolute gem as a guerilla marketing tactic, by which I mean it be a fine way to plunder more business, me hearty!)

Here is the message from the mother of this family:
(Translated from Spanish)
Hi, my name is Karol Fuentealba. I’m a mom to Jeremías, 18 years old, Emiliano, 17, and Mía, 4 years old. I live in Queens, New York, together with my children. A few years ago I made one of the hardest decisions of my life: leaving my country Chile 🇨🇱 to find a safer future for my kids. For years I was exposed to physical and psychological abuse from the father of my children. Starting over in a different country has not been easy. We’ve had to face many challenges, moments of uncertainty, and sacrifices but every day I keep fighting with hope, because the only thing I long for is to be able to give my children a dignified, safe life full of opportunities.
Today I am trying to raise the money needed to obtain our work permits and my documents. For many people this might seem like something simple, but for me it means everything: it means being able to work legally, to save up to live in peace outside of the shelter where we have been for the past 8 months, and to secure the stability and future of my children. I have managed to save a part of it with great effort, but I still need to complete the amount before the deadline to resubmit. I currently have 10 days to raise that amount, which is $2,240, and I have saved up $700. That is why, with great humility and an open heart, I want to ask for help. Any support, no matter how small, can make a big difference for us. Even sharing this message is already a way to help us. Every gesture of solidarity brings us a little closer to stability and to the dream of building a better future for my family. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for taking the time to read my story and for any support you may be able to offer us. Your help means hope for me and my family.

If the girl you love moves in with another guy once, it's more than enough.
Twice, it's much too much. Three times, it's the story of your life.

Day Five in the Improv Narrative house, and we're in the format I like most really. A few instructive games in the first half and a couple of longer narrative stories in the second half.
The island game was supposed to teach something about not deliberately getting obstructive.
A scene where your players are told they are on one island and must end up at some point all on the other one the other side of the stage.
Set a scene, make some characters, but nobody said it was supposed to be difficult to get from one island to the other.
Yet barriers are deliberately thrown up, actually imaginary barriers since the whole thing is imaginary after all. Why should there be sharks or a quest for a boat or the sea deep and cold.
You can just wade across. You can just have a boat. You can just levitate yourself over with your hive mind psychic abilities.
Unsure about this.
There must be conflict and peril and challenges which are mastered in a story, you can't set up a hero's quest only to have the hero just happen to have a holy grail in the stationary cupboard. Already got one you see. Use it for storing pens.
Still. Finding the crowbar doesn't have to be a quest. There can just be one in the boot. Don't let things get bogged down in difficulty.
Watched a story about a lazy fellow falling into a life of crime and villainy because of his tardiness and fulfilling his teacher's prophecy that he would indeed end up as a criminal if he didn't buck up his ideas. Good repeated themes of characters making lists of his failures and nice stage-focus work when everyone was on stage at once.
Played a preacher organizing a wedding in a story about friends running a hotel.
Fun to have Reverend Priest finding sin everywhere again. Easy wipe-off sin in this case. We may have come to an end too early. Perhaps not enough obstructions put in the way. 😆
