alexseanchai's fundraiser, which will help zir get out of debt and out of a precarious/abusive living situation. Zie is raising $25K in total, but $4K will help with immediate needs. You can read more and help Alexseanchai out here.
toujours_nigel linked to a fundraiser for Rukmini, who has been living in the US for grad school and been unable to travel home to India for the past two years. She's trying to raise money to travel home and visit her family, including her new nephew. You can read more and help her out here.
montanaharper linked to a fundraiser for her friend Val, who is raising money to pay off her school debt so she can return to school and finish her degree in order to become an English teacher. You can read more and help her out here.
saiditallbefore linked to a fund raiser for Lisa, a stage manager and struggling novelist who needs a new computer for her work and would like to build her own. You can read more and help her fund her project here.
mamaculuna linked to Wild Fibers, which is trying to fund a Cashmere Craft Center to help the women of Pangong in the High Himalayas. Currently many women work on road crews or are minimally compensated for the cashmere harvested from their goats; the craft center would provide tools, training, and a place to bring their children. You can read more and donate here.
Anon linked to Elpida (Hope) Shelter in Livadia, Greece, where stray dogs are a serious problem. They rescue, neuter, vet, and rehome their dogs all over the world. You can read more and support the shelter here.

missbuster is posting on behalf of a friend who is looking for a one-bedroom or studio apartment for herself and her cat in Victoria, BC for $800/mo or less. She's attempting to escape an abusive boyfriend before September, when they are scheduled to move. You can read more and get n touch at Missbuster's post here.
Anon linked to a project set up by the Royal British Legion called "Every Man Remembered", which allows people to commemorate soldiers -- relatives or even strangers -- who served in WWI. You can read more and commemorate a soldier here. This is an amazing site where you can search and read stories about servicemen, and you don't need to register unless you're going to commemorate someone. I myself found a Samuel Starbuck to commemorate. :)
Just For Fun:
Anon linked to an interview with John Myatt, an art forger in the 80s and 90s, now working legitimately as an artist. I've only skimmed the article, but I'm looking forward to reading it more in-depth.
