Good morning everyone, and welcome to Radio Free Monday!

Ways to Give:

[livejournal.com profile] zanda_myrande linked to a post by Sarah, the victim of a hit-and-run accident; she lost her home after medical bills wiped out her savings and she's now been fired from her job. You can read more and give to her 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 and needs a lawyer to ensure her attacker is charged properly and convicted. You can read more and give here, or support Starcat Books by purchasing here. She also has jewelry for sale on Etsy. (Obviously if you're shopping her etail or etsy there may be a delay in delivery.)

News to Know:

[personal profile] brainwane linked to a twitter post that [twitter.com profile] jayasax made asking for reasons to believe in people; you can read the great responses here.

[personal profile] brainwane also linked to O'Reilly publishing, which runs a lot of tech conferences and is offering free passes and travel/lodging subsidies to people who want to attend their conferences. You must be "a member of a group not well represented within the tech community [...] including but not limited to women, people of color, people with disabilities, LGBT+, veterans" and at least 18 years old. You can read more and apply here.

Housing:

[tumblr.com profile] darlingarmadillo has two rooms to rent in hervintage 3-bedroom condo in Rogers Park in Chicago. Close to Northwestern and Loyola, walking distance to Howard and Jarvis Red Line stops, central air, washer/dryer in unit, two cats, $650/$750 (depending on room) plus utilities. You can read more and get in touch 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.
