maschalismos was recently diagnosed with lupus and fibromyalgia, and is struggling to cover medical bills for her diagnosis and for ongoing attempts at treatment. You can read more and help out with her medical bills here.
editrx has been struggling a lot lately, and is now facing hugely high water bills because of local polution, as well as a lien on her house for a property tax bill that has gone past due. She needs to raise $6K to keep her head above water. You can read more about her situation here and help her keep her home here.
mad_martha linked to Shelterbox, which is currently on the ground in Nepal, providing aid after the disastrous earthquake there on Saturday. Shelterbox provides temporary shelter, blankets, cooking and water purification supplies, and other necessities in the aftermath of a disaster (you can see a typical box here). You can read more about their work in Nepal and support the ongoing effort here.
