HI. My name is Brendan Sheppard. My friends call me twig (v.)--. I'm threnodyeris here on LJ.
Right now my friends are going through very rough times, financially and emotionally. I'm asking anyone able to please drop a few dollars or a few kind words to these people.
If you haven't got a dollar to spare, please send a kind word:
notatumor. Billy Slone is a friend and former manager of mine who, after beating cancer twice, is going through chemotherapy right now and struggling to cover his hospital bills and rent. He needs to know he isn't all alone. He's been too weak to get out much from the chemo treatments, and people he considered friends have been too busy or lazy to take the time to visit or call him. We're organizing a Sushi Buffet Lunch with him sometime in the next week or two in Reston, Va for anyone interested.cailleachbheurr (she locks her entries, comment here or email me: twigchrist@yahoo, and i'll copy and paste your messages & names/usernames to her) Heather Bassett is a single mother raising 2 kids with no child support, alimony, or help from her family; over and over again she's been facing a social service system that seems almost designed to prevent anyone from keeping their children fed and clothed and housed. She needs to know anyone cares. She needs to know right now. She's struggling to afford moving back to the east coast right now.cheshirrrecat. Rebecca Richardson has been consistently putting her bank account down to just pennies above $0. She's been spending nearly every penny she makes on supporting her friends and loved ones. A mistaken charge to her bank account just resulted in nearly a dozen $32 overdraft charges. She's working with the bank and the company at fault to fix the mistake, but in the meantime needs gas to get to work and food to stay alive. More importantly, she needs as many hugs as you can give her, because she's been put in a very emotionally fragile situation over the last several months.
These are real people that I love. If it won't hurt you any, they'd appreciate your help. I figure I'll divide donations according to their needs. Immediate needs followed by the chemotherapy bills.
