Good morning everyone, and welcome to Radio Free Monday!

Ways to Give:

[tumblr.com profile] thebibliosphere needs vital medical testing for an undiganosed GI issue which is preventing her from being able to eat properly or find employment. Insurance won't cover much of it, so she needs to raise the rest independently. You can read more about her issues and costs and find her paypal info here.

[tumblr.com profile] doctorscienceknowsfandom linked to a fundraiser for Duranee, who was laid off at the end of January and lost their housing at the end of February (landlord wanted to reoccupy the house himself). She's raising funds to cover the cost of moving and, as of Sunday, to get a tire replaced on the road. You can read more and help her get to Boise here.

[tumblr.com profile] 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.

[livejournal.com profile] 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.)

Anon linked to a fundraiser for WFPRR, a volunteer-run small steam railroad which is facing a lot of damage after recent flooding of the Meramec river. They're raising money to restore the grounds and facilities; you can read more and support the railroad here.

News to Know:

[personal profile] brainwane linked to !!Con, a conference focusing on "the joy, excitement, and surprise of programming" in NYC on May 7th-8th. They're currently seeking proposals for ten-minute talks on programming-related subjects; you can read more and get a link to submit 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!). If you're new to fundraising, you may want to check out my guide to fundraising here.
