I haven't ever done anything like this before, but times are hard. I have been approved for my Lap Band surgery, but a lot of the things I need to do first are not covered by my insurance. I have to pay out of pocket for a psych eval, the dietitian visits, and health supplements. Being single-income, all of these things can make or break us. I need about $400 to cover all these expenses. If you or anyone you know would be willing to help, I would be eternally in your debt.
God bless.
This may not be appropriate. But I have a two-year-old son, and thus I cannot afford to be proud right now. I’m sharing a link to a gofundme because a long period of un-and-underemployment has put my family in a very precarious situation. I didn’t originally plan to share this beyond a small circle of friends, but the court date for a possible eviction has been set for August 26th, leaving out a pay period that could make all the difference. If you will be kind enough to share this on your blogs, I would be forever grateful. I know everyone is struggling, and you may not be able to help- or want to, as you probably don’t know me that well, and I wouldn’t blame you. But I have to take a risk, for my family. Thank you. (The details on the page are a little vague, as it wasn’t going to be shared very widely originally, so there are no major personal details included to protect my family).

This community, this site, booklikes...
I mostly lurk here because of what happened to me on Goodreads, but I've made some amazing friends here. And you've all given me so much hope. In a week we have raised $735 towards bellas surgery and most of it is from here.
I have no words for the love I have for each and everyone of you. I feel like we are a family. I can't even... Literally I can't.
Everyone who has donated or has donated and then shared the go fund me link is a hero in my eyes. Lissa and I couldn't do this without all of you. I'm so overwhelmed with love and admiration.
This is community of book lovers, nerds, and general weirdos who accept me for who I am and don't push me to read things I don't like and don't force me to review when I'm not ready... You have restored my hope for this world.
Thank you all, from the bottom of my heart.
You are all perfect to me.
And for that, I give you the gift of one of my favourite Deadpool moments.
You all help me to stop losing all faith in our species.
Thank you.
I'm sure most of you have seen this in the interim, but in case you haven't (and even if you have) ...
This is Bella. She needs surgery to mend the effects of an improperly healed break in her leg and pelvis, and a dislocated hip that has settled out of the joint. She needs surgery in order to improve her mobility and quality of life, and to stop any pain she may be feeling. Her new adoptive parents -- Big Beardy Bloke Buried By Books and his wife -- would like her to have that surgery, but are struggling to cover the costs. Their crowd funding campaign with GoFundMe.com (http://www.gofundme.com/y7eg8b8) is currently at a little more than 1/4 of the set target -- just short of covering the costs of Bella's diagnosis, or looked at alternately, a little more than 1/3 of the estimated costs of surgery.
All those of us who have pets know what those pets mean to us. All of us, I'm sure, would spare no expense to give our own pets the veterinary care they need. Having lost one cat to a belated and erroneous veterinary diagnosis myself, I understand very well that time is absolutely of essence in this regard. Animals can tell us that something is wrong with them, even if they can't put a voice to precisely what it is -- and they shouldn't be made to suffer, any more than any human should be made to suffer.
Giving via GoFundMe.com is 100% pain-free, 100% anonymous if that's how you prefer your gift to appear, and as easy as hitting an online retailer's "buy" button. Please think about what you can do to help. Thank you!
