Good morning everyone, and welcome to Radio Free Monday!

Ways to Give:

Anon linked to thebibliosphere, who has had a furnace breakdown recently and is unable to pay for emergency medical procedures (necessary for her to return to work) because of the cost. She's offering fic in exchange for donations; you can read more here, including info about her situation; a link to her paypalme widget is here to support her directly.

aunty_marion's friend's niece Jessica and her acrobatic partner Olivia have been selected to represent Great Britain in the World Acrobatic Gymnastics Championship in China next month. They're fundraising GBP3000 to cover expenses, which they will have to pay themselves; you can read more about this extraordinary pair and support them here.

rilee16 is having trouble managing medical expenses after two head injuries last year, and hasn't been cleared to return to work, thus can't earn back money for the bills they've received. You can read more and help out here.

Anon linked to jabberwockypie, who is struggling to make ends meet this month after her stepfather failed to pay child support. Her mother has recently had medical issues and she's trying to raise about $250 to get through the month. You can read more here; she doesn't have a fundraiser up but her paypal email is sam.says.bazinga at gmail.com.

editrx has been struggling to keep her indy bookstore afloat for this past year, and on top of her troubles there, she's now been the subject of a violent assault by her housemate. She's dealing with mounting medical bills and trauma from the assault. She doesn't have a new fundraising site yet, but funds from her ongoing YouCaring fundraiser will reach her, as will income from the Starcat Books online etailer. She also has jewelry for sale on Etsy. (Obviously if you're shopping her etail or etsy there may be a delay in delivery.)

Buy Stuff, Help Out:

dreamwaffles has launched her Etsy store, selling beaded jewelry, including taking commissions. She's currently job-hunting but for now Etsy is her only source of income; you can check out her Etsy and help out here.
