Ways to Give:
amadi linked to
homelesslive, a homeless disabled woman who is currently in temporary housing but will likely be forced to leave and become homeless again soon. Her elderly car has come to the end of its life and she's raising funds to replace it so that she has safety, transportation, and a future home she can rely on. You can read more at her twitter, and donate to the fundraiser here.
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 facing a lot of bills, a lien on her house, and overdue rent on her independent bookstore. She's currently raising $2250 to pay back rent to keep from being evicted; you can read more and help out here. She also has jewelry for sale on Etsy and her bookshop, Star Cat Books, sells through abebooks here.
Help For Free:
fiveforsilver linked to a friend who has entered a contest to try and get some dental work paid for; the most votes wins, and you vote by entering your email address. You can vote here. (As a warning, what pops up first is a photograph of his mouth and teeth.)
tabaqui linked to Ginger Ail, who is looking for empty pill bottles to send to Malawi for medical providers there to give to patients. They have instructions for how to donate your empty bottles here.
Housing:
lovelyhera is a 25/yo female traveling alone, looking for a place to stay for a week in November in London. Central or outside of central (Shoreditch, Islington, Hoxton etc) is fine; she just needs a place to sleep. You can reach her at revzinj at gmail.com.
sahiya is looking for a cat-friendly roommate for a 2br apartment in the Ditmas Park-Flatbush area of Brooklyn. $1125/mo covers all utilities including internet; the apartment is close to the B/Q and has in-unit laundry. You can read more and get in touch here.
tzikeh is looking for a housemate to move into a condo in Chicago's Uptown neighborhood; it's a large bedroom and private bathroom for $805/mo plus utilities (which for Uptown, and to judge by the photos, is a hell of a deal). You can read more and get in touch here.
