Boosting the Signal
'Tis the season of people needing help! I guess we all need a hand at one point or another.
First, amberite has found herself in a bit of a pickle, but she's rather talented and is hoping to leverage that to get herself out. Some details:
PROBLEM: I'm struggling with depression and trying to get back on my feet financially and emotionally.
GOAL: Any amount helps. Rent, bills, and minimum payments on things that are due now = about $500. I could also use money for food and filling my gas tank would be extremely helpful. Paying off the credit cards I've been using to live on for the last few months would leave me in a much less precarious position: that's roughly $3000.
And for serious, guys, if people want to buy $3000 worth of my art, it would be a MASSIVE self-esteem boost.
The remaining details of her circumstances and where to find her art are here.
Second, storm relief! Though canned goods, food, and blankets are great to give from an instinctual perspective, unless you're directly giving those things to a storm survivor, they present more logistical issues than they're worth. Consider donating money to the American Red Cross; one method is to text REDCROSS to 90999 to donate $10.
