The friend in question is shortgirl. Shortgirl is recovering from major surgery, is in a fragile physical state, and is having to move by Sept. 1. This sweet, sweet lady, who is known for her kind heart, is in need of help, including some funds to help her until her Social Security kicks in late November. She is in one of those whirlwinds of loss that can devastate a life. She has lost everything.
Currently, shortgirl is in Sherwood, AR, a suburb of Little Rock. She needs to remain near her doctors for the time being. Is anyone near by who could lend a hand, check on her, or (in the best of all possible worlds), perhaps offer a spare room for an angel? If so, please feel free to contact me or Onomastic.
Onomastic will be writing a diary on all of shortgirl's needs, with info on how to send funds. Watch this space -- it will post tomorrow or Thursday.
With love and thanks,
Sara
Pee Ess: shortgirl is known for making the most fabulous peach jam on earth -- and used to be able to send some to anyone who needed a lift. Let's see if we can get her back to a place where she can do that again. She has sweetened so many lives, let's sweeten hers.
