As some of my flist know,
velvetwhip has had a terrible time. She lost her mother very suddenly from a horrible, rare infection, and is now struggling with debt way beyond her resources to deal with. The wonderful
purple_feenix happened to be staying with her at the time and has taken her under her wing, but the financial situation is scary - we're talking hospital and funeral here, not lavishness. She has set up a GoFundMe for Gabrielle, who is one of the sweetest and most supportive people in the entire Buffy fandom. If you could see your way to adding even a little it would really help.

It's bad enough to lose your Mum, but this mess is making it ten times tougher for her.
