I TRY NOT TO LINK TOO MANY PEOPLE ASKING FOR MONEY:  But times are being rough on a lot of people. This is a personal friend who has found herself in the middle of a sh*tstorm.  Part of the problem, of course, is that being a writer in the midst of a series of unfortunate events means you stop working, which worsens things (having experienced this myself.)
I can’t do as much for her as I’d like to, though hoping that will change soonish. Until then: this is one of the hardest working women I know, and generous with her help to every starting writer in need. If you can help, however little, it’s bread upon the waters.  If you can’t, but can publicize the request, please do so.  Help a Grieving Author Pay Off A Car.
