Good morning everyone, and welcome to Radio Free Monday!

Before we start, [personal profile] justice_turtle wanted to express their thanks to RFM regular readers and donors for the help offered in the last few years, with money, advice, and couch-surfing opportunities. They're on their feet and in their own place now. Thanks everyone :)

Ways to Give:

[livejournal.com profile] sherylyn linked to a fundraiser for Sam, who needs to have a double masectomy for cancer-related health reasons but whose identity as a trans person makes him ineligible for coverage. You can read more and help Sam out here.

[livejournal.com profile] stress_kitten linked to a fundraiser for a friend who is engaged in a custody battle for her daughter, and needs help with legal fees to get her daughter away from a harmful environment. You can read more and help her out here; warnings for discussion of child sexual abuse at the site.

[personal profile] boywonder needs to move their family to Virginia to attend law school -- they've been accepted and enrolled on a full tuition scholarship, but they need funds for moving from Arizona to Virginia and all its attendant expenses. You can read more and help them get moved here.

[personal profile] 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.

[livejournal.com profile] editrx has been struggling a lot lately, and is now facing huge water bills, plus 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; she also has jewelry for sale on Etsy and her bookshop, Star Cat Books, sells through abebooks here.

[tumblr.com profile] fiora-miriel linked to an appeal from the Jane Austen's House Museum, which is raising funds to buy a letter from Jane Austen's sister, regarding her death. You can read more about the letter and support the campaign here.

Anon linked to a fundraiser for Tonto the cat, who was hit by a car last week and is now recovering. They're raising funds for vet visits and medication to help Tonto get back on his feet, literally. You can read more and help Tonto out here.

News to Know:

[tumblr.com profile] ivylaughed wanted to let people know that Ohio is no longer asking about criminal convictions on their job applications, but all jobs include a background check. If you have a criminal record in any state, it's good to know what your rights are in regards to hiring. You can read more about the change in policy here.

And this has been Radio Free Monday! Thank you for your time. You can post items for my attention at the Radio Free Monday submissions form or via email at copperbadge at gmail dot com. If you're not sure how to proceed, here is a little more about what I do and how you can help (or ask for help!).
