two of my dearest and closest friends have recently encountered medical crises and unexpected expenses, please read! repost, forward, digg/del.icio.us the links, whatever you can do...
alison gordon of
wonderlandq recently had to undergo emergency surgery and hospitalization, without insurance. etsy + an awesome girl renee have generously set up a fundraiser on her behalf at
http://wonderlandretreat.etsy.com shop there to help raise funds for her hospital bills. fellow crafters/artisans can donate items as well! paypal donations can be sent to info at auroraseven.com
tess lee of madebytess.com (whose heart is so big that she's donated to alison's fundraiser although she has her own woes) recently adopted an abandoned dog whose medical bills have become enormous. (she writes about the gut-wrenching story of her dog lily's health on her blog
here)
she is in immediate need of finances to pay for the treatment and quick, so if you've ever thought about buying one of her pouches or adorable knitters totes, now is time.
http://www.madebytess.com is her shop, and paypal donations for lily can be sent to madebytess at yahoo.com
both alison and tess offered me much assistance when i needed it earlier this year, they're amazing friends and people, and deserve all the help generous folks can offer, so if you're looking to buy handmade, please check out both of those links to aid a couple people who really could use the help right now.
