I'm working away on the book for the final manuscript turn-in date (Jan. 3), but something has come up that I'd like to ask y'all to help me with. Last week, sapphireisle posted about her frustration with fundraising--politicians won't help, feel-good TV shows won't help, and the family doesn't have enough money to deal with her mother's illness but still has

I will post this link on my journal and try to publicize it a little, since I am unable to donate. Best of luck!

[cleolinda]

Thanks! That's a great help in and of itself. : )

[hush]

ergh, i'd've donated to many people at this point, but i've run into postponement of receiving my debit card & such and therefor setting up a paypal ^_^ within three days, i've been told i should have it, so then, DONATION SPREE!

keep us updated. i really want her family to receive the best help.

Your icon freaks me out.

[hush]

Aww, but he's just so cuuute! *joey voice* How YOU doin'?

Haha, the first time I saw it, it freaked me out too.

[heinous_bitca]

So if I give it/you some sandwiches, you'll be my friend for life? :)

[mariebernadette]

This might be a silly question but is there a time limit on the donation time?

[cleolinda]

Not really, no. I would certainly say it's open until January, at the very least. And really, just because we close out this particular fundraising drive doesn't mean that the family won't still need help three, four, five months from now.

Thank you - I have to wait 'til Friday to get my stipend and I wanted to make sure I wasn't too late. It's good of you to promote her cause.

woohoo on the m15m poll... ;)

as for the fundraising... done my part *so happy about that*

and good luck with the book... can't wait to have it in the shops (i can send it to you to get signed right? right? :p *evil grin*)

btw i was wondering.... do you still use your LJ-email??

[cleolinda]

Thanks. : ) I'll sign anything people send me, although I'm going to look into some kind of setup where you can buy books that have already been signed, to minimize the back-and-forth and the expense to y'all.

And yeah, my LJ email is just an alias for my real email--it all goes to the same place. : )

*happy dance*

[lorien__]

yey... thanks hon... it would be great to get a signed one ;) (see eum not only am i nuts about m15m, but i also collect autographs... i know i wont be able to get a signed pic of you but a signed book is just as good...)

and i don't mind the expense if it's for the book *grin* i'll sell my soul if i have to...

(wow that sounded like crazy fan talk... honnest i'm not crazy... really i'm not.. well not really crazy :p just a bit nuts..)

Cool, signed bookness would rule! I wonder if I'll be able to spare cash for such things.

Just gotta tell you, this makes me beam. I love seeing your updates on the total. And M15M is yours, your very own -- you're utilizing it for a good cause without the merest whiff of (well-intentioned) fund-raising-fanfic problems. Delightful.

(Plus I may get to read a new on as early as Jan 4, squee. That's a powerful incentive to kick in a few more shekels.)

[cleolinda]

Heh. Thanks. : )

I don't know--it's been a wild year for me with the whole M15M thing, you know? I don't know how it happened, but somehow I ended up doing something that people really seem to like, and if I can use that to help people, I mean--why not? I just can't think of any reason not to.

[jwaneeta]

Linked this worthy cause, finally.

I'm really slow, and have not a huge flist or anything,but.
