help vera

Dec 06, 2008 19:01

I've never met Vera Nazarian (norilana) in person, but we've exchanged emails, and I reviewed her book Dreams of the Compass Rose here at the blog a couple years ago. She's an incredibly nice and generous person, and a unique writer; no one else writes quite like she does, and that's what we as writers are always striving for, that originality of style.

Vera's had a truly shitty run of financial luck in the past several years, and it has led to over $11,000 in debt. If she's not able to pay back payments on her mortgage by December 20th, she's going to lose her house.

The SF community is, among many things, full of very generous people; if you would like to help someone truly in need this holiday season, please head over to helpvera and donate a bit of money so that Vera can keep her home. This is a tough time for everyone, but please consider sending some money her way. You can also bid on auction items that will go toward the total.
