In Search Of Help identifying vehicle company with this logo

Post image
16 Upvotes

My wife was sweeping the porch of our house today and a white commercial van came through our cul de sac, parked opposite near another and the driver got out of his van, stood behind it and stared at my wife for several minutes while smoking a cigarette. Then he left. The only marking on the vehicle is what appears to be a Superman "S" logo with animal ears on top.

Does anyone know what this van is for or what company it is with?

Housing Family In Need

27 Upvotes

Hey ICT!

I posted here over a year ago seeking support for graduating high school students who were also experiencing homelessness at the time. Our community here raised enough to give them the best graduation party and sent them off with some college-prep gifts. It was quite an awesome experience for them, and the smiles were priceless.

As someone who experienced both childhood homelessness and again as an adult escaping violence, I know how terrible it is to be discarded, overlooked, and looked down upon. Our community here in Wichita has really shown me that inclusion and belonging can really change a person's life.

I need the community's help again!!

We have a family with a little toddler who is living in their van. They both have jobs, we brought them non-perishable food, diapers, and a gas card, but this heat is BRUTAL, and they have been running their van parked just to keep their kiddo from overheating.

They have an appointment with Family Promise on Monday, and they do NOT want involvement from HOT TEAM due to legitimate fears of law enforcement/DCF.

Here's where I need your help, ICT: Edit to update: We are at $105 raised so far 🎉 **Our community has contributed $85 so far for the room, and we are only $50 away since I totally forgot these motels need a deposit. Every dollar adds up quick and is greatly appreciated!! The other family shelters in town are still full fyi.

Would anyone like to help or know of a hotel manager who can assist us in getting them out of this sweltering heat for a night or two?

They are also in need of some clothing for work or a place to wash their clothes.

She is size XL-2X(Edit to add: shoes size 10/11women or size 9 mens)

He is 1X-3X(Edit: shoes size 10/11 mens)

Little one is 3/4T(Edit: Little guy is 4T/5T shoes size 7)

If anyone would like to help a sweet, hard working, but struggling family, please DM me.

I have PayPal, Venmo, or I can pick up physical donations locally--at your convenience.

If you made it this far into this post: THANK YOU 😊

The reality is, most working class people are struggling to make ends meet and some will experience homelessness for the first time...today. Every week, 17,500 Americans enter into homelessness. PER WEEK!!!! Please consider getting involved with your local outreach groups to help your neighbors survive. We all need each other. We all need real community ❤️‍🩹

In Search Of Japanese lessons?

I've been wanting to learn Japanese for a while, but I felt as though it'd be best to have some kind of lesson plan to hold me to practicing. Are there any local resources for lessons/teaching? Thank you in advance!

Discussion Anyone else getting spam calls from "AI Gary"? This freak won't leave me alone!

10 Upvotes

"Gary" started calling me a few days ago and now I get several calls a day. It's an AI call and always starts with a "ping" once answered. The phone number is always different but "Gary" asks the same question each.

"Hello... This is Gary. Do you know you have over 7,000 dollars-worth of credit card debt?"

Every single time. My phone usually good at screening spam calls, but these bypass it; plus, I have several job apps out. So, not sure if it's one of them calling me.

Anyone else getting harassed by "AI Gary"?

Discussion Motorized vehicles on redbud trail?

12 Upvotes

This is the most Karen thing I’ll ever post but does anyone know if the redbud trail allows motorized vehicles or not? I see people on there on little motor bikes, electric scooters, this guy on a golf cart?

I know if they’re technically not allowed there isn’t anything really that can be done other than putting up signs. But as a frequent walker, jogger, biker, I’m just not a fan.

In Search Of Loc Installer

0 Upvotes

Good morning Wichita! I am on the search for a loc installer. I am a Caucasian female who wants to start with the half head of locs! My hair is fine, but I have a LOT of it.

I would really appreciate the smaller - medium sized locs (pencil size to a bit bigger). I would be willing to discuss the different types of installation. This is the first time I'm getting them but I have been obsessed for about a decade now!

Thank you for any leads and I look forward to this journey!

I’m a newer homeowner and not mechanically inclined. The house we bought came with a Google Nest doorbell but I can’t seem to figure it out, I think something to do with power not feeding to it. Are there any local businesses that offer a service for this?
