28p Fundraiser: Care Faith Hope
I copied this from seajules who says it best:
What is this?
care_faith_hope is a fandom auction to benefit faithhopetricks. Bidding begins on September 28, 2009, Monday, 10 a.m. Pacific time, and closes on October 10, 2009, Saturday, 11:59 p.m. Pacific time.
What's the cause?
This auction is to raise money for the medical expenses of faithhopetricks and her husband. They have no health insurance and no savings, and her husband requires immediate heart surgery. Both have other potentially life-threatening conditions which have gone untreated or poorly treated due to their lack of health insurance. More detailed information is in the user info of care_faith_hope.
Some details have been left out for reasons of privacy. Please do not contact faithhopetricks to inform her of government assistance programs she can apply for. The mods are working on that. However, if you know of job openings for an IT professional in greater Seattle, her husband will be seeking a job as soon as he recovers from the heart surgery.
How can you help?
You can bid on fanfic, original fic, vids, cookies, memorabilia, critique/betas, and much more! Or you can offer your skills and services as a writer, vidder, baker, knitter, or whatever else you'd like.
Current offers include homemade baked goods and candy, unique memorabilia from and a guided tour of the Jim Henson Company, books signed by the authors, vids and fanfic, and much more!
