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. They moved into the completed upstairs bedroom (& partially completed bathroom) yesterday evening. Finally safe. Finally warm. Finally able to breath. And finally sleep— while the rest of the house is finished and furnished. New goal is 1 week’s labor payroll for 3 crews — regular, tile guys, and plumbers. (The 4th crew — woodstove installers — was covered last Friday.)
|
Goal: $3,000
Progress: $50.
|
Again only the upstairs bedroom is complete with the upstairs bath complete enough for them to move in. Still need payroll, Lowes cards for appliances, Home Depot cards for cabinetry, Wayfair cards (or the Registries) for linens & furnishings — due to mold nothing from the RV can be taken to the new house. But they will be able to live in that safe, warm, healthful place and breathe clean air (with no more mold that turns flu into can’t-get-rid-of-pneumonia) while it’s being finished. |

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 ($147), ’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).
