Be gentle, this is a first for me. I typically like to lurk in the shadows and let you intelligent folk do the heavy lifting. Please don't let that stop you from helping out someone who needs some help. Ok onto the big lift.

I met in person one of the Sacramento area Kossacks, who is in need of some assistance and it broke my heart not being able to give more assistance than I had by giving her pet food today. I found out she is living in the cold and dark since getting her power cut off quite a while ago. Now I don't know about you coffee drinkers, I don't drink the stuff personally, but she cannot make herself coffee in the am with no power. Also, too, that whole taking a shower in freezing cold water, did it in the military and didn't think much of it then and certainly don't now. She will probably tell you she feels enough has been done by making certain her pets can eat. I don't think so, when many of us can make the misery of one disappear by giving of themselves just a little. Many hands make for easier lifting. To get her by, she is going to need roughly $700. this is to help pay a $519 heating bill, allow her to get a prescription filled and get some gas for looking for work and some airtime for her cell phone, so people can get hold of her if something comes up job wise. I know it is a whole lot to ask at this time of year, but if we can help her make a dent it would be greatly appreciated. She goes by the sigline aitchdee here at the Great Orange Satan and I know she will appreciate all the help.
