Good morning everyone, and welcome to Radio Free Monday!

Ways to Give:

Anon linked to a fundraiser for Jen and Dani, who have been dealing with illness and injuries, which insurance has not fully covered. They're fundraising to cover medical bills and get back on their feet; you can read more and support the fundraiser here.

iamshadow linked to a fundraiser for alexseanchai, who is struggling to finish college and is fundraising to help with costs of graduation and post-graduate studies. You can read more here and support the fundraiser here.

engrprof linked to a fundraiser for City Bureau, which is working to reimagine journalism on the south and west sides of Chicago. Their goal is to increase coerage of under-covered areas and populations, as well as train journalists to cover civic issues in specific areas of the city. You can read more and support the City Bureau here, and there's a rebloggable link post here.

yohjideranged and their spouse have been forced to deplete their savings to cover bills while their spouse is out of work, and have been fundraising to keep up; their funds were covered through last week's sales post, but since then they've had to put their cat, Hermen, in the hospital for surgery, and are now dealing both with Hermen's death and the bill from the veterinarian. You can read more and support their fundraiser here, and they still have items for sale here.

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.

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.)

Help For Free:

shazrolane is looking for people who have experience with powered wheelchairs; she's collecting information for friends who are looking to buy one but have no experience and aren't finding online reviews super helpful. They're looking especially for information on chairs that raise the user into a standing position. You can read more, reblog, and get in touch here.
