If you have a few dollars to spare, from Washingtons to Benjamins, we could sure use your help with any of the fundraisers shown here (listed in alphabetical order). Urgent ones have an orange Goal/Progress box. Urgent with very close deadlines are orange all the way across.
Aji
Home. Now sort of living in the only completed room (upstairs bedroom) & partially completed bathroom — can’t totally move in until kitchen sink & internet are installed — but have heat & a working shower! Finally warm. Finally sleep — while the house is finished and furnished. New goal is 1 week’s labor payroll for 3 crews — regular, tile guys, and plumbers.
|
Goal: $3,000
Progress: $2,000
|
Trying to beat the winter with all the plumbing and external work. Need payroll, Lowes cards (appliances), Home Depot cards (materials), Wayfair cards (or the Registries) for furnishings — due to mold nothing from the RV can be taken to the new house. But once they’re fully moved in they can live in that safe, warm, healthful place and breathe clean mold-free air while it’s being finished. |

Helped with property tax to save the land & repair the truck (the progress showing), still needs help with, vet bills, electrician, and storage pod and gravel pad to put it on.
|
Goal: $6,414
Progress: $2,442
|
Fighting a legal battle, very long backstory (damn assistance request, damn back story, damn back back story), lost the house; we helped her make the property tax and save the land and there things sat as (some of) the legal stuff played out. Needs in order of importance: vet bill ($37), ’85 Subaru station wagon ($220) for backup transport, $200 for the LLC so she can set up the Paypal, and finally that storage pod ($3,175) — also electrician, culverts, and gravel (still can’t get estimates so I’m calling it $500).

Help with past due vet bill from when Sam died
|
Goal: $1200
Progress: $25
|
Social Security doesn’t quite make ends meet and was having difficulties with doing the crocheting for her Etsy Shop (why it’s not listed below at the moment). She’s just started crocheting again and hopes to have the shop going soon. She still has the vet bill from when Sam died. Any help with that would be greatly appreciated |

jtg
All the dogs are sick — something that comes on sudden and hits hard — can be treated with antibiotics and subq fluids but vet refuses to prescribe them without seeing each of the dogs — he’s spent $600 as of Thursday, I’m estimating the $1,135 left of the old household goal is right.
|
Vet Goal: $3,900
Progress: $2,790
|
jtg rescued the mother and now has the babies as well — the illness came with no warning — it’s not parvo, but not sure what it is. Just that it’s fast, very contagious, and serious. |

Help with Dixie’s veterinary bills.

Goal: $4,000
Progress: $50
|
slksfca’s beloved companion dog Dixie crossed the Rainbow Bridge Monday 10/9 after a long and expensive illness. Vet bills are high, include many hospital visits. (Paying $250/month from his very fixed income — help on the vet bills means he eats.) PayPal address is his email — a supportive message would also help.
