This is maybe a weird thing to request here but my sister is having a hard time in a lot of ways and can use some money. Her older child has involved special needs and needs constant care. My sister has rheumatoid arthritis which makes her unable to move for big parts of the day and she's in pain most of the time. Her husband has turned into a conspiracy-minded lunatic; they're separated and he's causing trouble. Her expenses exceeded her income and her van was repossessed today so she doesn't have a way to get herself or her kids to appointments.

If you've got any cash you can pass along, it would be a big help: https://www.gofundme.com/f/ek9q4-keep-us-going

If anyone makes a donation, send me your mailing address and I'll send you a token of my appreciation.

That's rough. She's a fighter, for sure. Best of luck to her. Donated.

Hope she lands back on her feet soon.

Def kicking in. Ain't giving you my address though, you owe us nothing

Thanks so much everybody; it's a big help.
And to highlight some of the things she has done to improve things: She worked for a while as a stained-glass artist. She sold her stuff independently and was commissioned to do custom work. She expanded that to other crafty projects that she'd sell. It was fine work for a new parent. After she spent a lot of time learning how to get her kids the best care, she took classes to work more professionally in that vein. She's now a freelance consultant and advocate working for parents who have kids with special needs. She'll help them prepare for meetings with schools and make sure they're getting the resources they need. The work is hard but important and the pay is unpredictable but it's more reliable than child support.

Done. Happy to see so many donations already. All the best!
