Good morning everyone, and welcome to Radio Free Monday!

Ways to Give:

[livejournal.com profile] rorekgwolfe has a fundraiser up to help with his medical and moving costs so he and his roommate [livejournal.com profile] praxedes_osaka can get moved from Virginia to Tennessee and for Rorek to get from there to Texas. You can read more and help with meds and bills here.

[livejournal.com profile] nancylebov linked to a fundraiser for Eugene Treadwell, whose partner Margaret recently died; he would like to have her buried near her family or in a military hospital, but if he can't afford funeral costs she will need to be cremated. You can read more and help Eugene here.

[livejournal.com profile] jessie_menken linked to a fundraiser for Misssabrinafairchild on Instagram, who is raising funds to attend a millinery course in Paris. A former photographer living with mental illness and disability, misssabrinafairchild is reinventing herself in a new career path, and this course will allow her to refine her skills. You can read more and give to her gofundme here and she also has vintage accessories and some of her own work up on instagram with sales information attached.

Anon linked to a fundraiser for Cae, who is trying to get to Clarion West, an intensive writer's workshop in Seattle. You can read more and help out here.

Anon linked to a fundraiser by Lauren Mulcahy, who is running the Boston Marathon and raising funds for National Run A Mile Day, which gets kids involved in fitness through running. The marathon is today but the fundraiser is good through April 30th! You can read more and support the fundraiser here.

[tumblr.com profile] rilee16 is still struggling to cover medical expenses after two head injuries last year, and hasn't been cleared to return to work, thus can't earn money to cover basic living costs, let alone 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.)

[tumblr.com profile] throwbackpepsi's 14 year old cat, Bean, got sick and ended up in the hospital last week, which has led to some vet bills that they're scrambling to cover. You can read more and help out here.


Buy Stuff, Help Out:

Anon linked to Litographs, which sells prints, shirts, totes, and other goods from texts of classic books. They currently have a kickstarter going to start printing on infinity scarves. You can read more and support the kickstarter here; the $40 option even allows you to choose a custom text to be printed on a scarf or t-shirt (Anon suggests that fanfic printed on a scarf would be a nice gift for the fanwriter in your life...).

[tumblr.com profile] dreamwaffles has added new items to her Etsy, which is currently her only source of income while she applies for jobs. She's got cool beaded art and earrings for very reasonable prices; you can shop and purchase 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.
