I donated either $2 or $3 and a Barbie doll (for auction purposes).

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

Awww, that's so great--thanks. : )

[k-puff.livejournal.com]

Oh, I get it now. ^_^;; That'll teach me to read my flist out of order... In any case, I'd love to donate, but making money transactions over the internet makes me nervous. Is there another option?

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

In the previous entry, there's a link to their donations page, with a mailing address.

$10
My man had a few accidents today and has a really dedicated guardian angel. I guess I want to guard off the bad luck with a good deed.

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

Oh, God, thank you. HOpe everything's all right.

I'm going to do a donation first thing Monday morning through Amazon. I have some stuff to pick up today and am poor as hell, which means I have to finagle my finances first. But there will be a donation within 72 hours, dernit.

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much. Even a dollar would be great.

donated, poll submitted, *love*

$25.00 - because you are f**king funny, girl. :-)

I gave $10. I know what it's like to be sick and need the money. I really wish I could give more, I just don't have the means. As for those people who think that one dollar won't do anything, tell them to donate $5 instead. Being sick for along amount of time is the worst. Then add all the doctor's visits and the pain. Trust me, one dollar is the least someone could do.

I wonder if she's elligible now for Social Security or Medicare or something like that, now that her husband is going to be out of a job? Not that it'll do much for a $1000+ bill, but still, it would certainly be a help for her.

*tosses $5 into the pot*

[morgandawn.livejournal.com]

since she did not work enough year (gov does not favor stay at home moms) she will not be eligible for social security disability or medicare. Her husband will be eligible for unemployment for 6 months - which will be far less that his salary. Without a job, they lose medical benefits - COBRA will cost them $1200 month.

i hope $10 helps. :D

[luna-k.livejournal.com]

I put in $5, because I'm poor but I know how much even a little bit can help.

You're amazing for doing this, Cleo. I'm sure Christina appreciates it.

[allthelivesofme.livejournal.com]

I sent in $5. Yay for Paypal. :-)

[janoux.livejournal.com]

thank you for doing this. made my donation. i know how it is to be out of work and sick...i'm just lucky that i'm prior military and could go to the VA.

[shesnotallthere.livejournal.com]

I feel bad, y'all. I can't donate anything yet. I have to save every cent until I've got enough to have my wisdom teeth cut out. I like having a spouse that works for a cable company, 'cause I get free internet service and stuff, but the dental plan sucks goats through fine gauze.

I can make everyone I know buy stuff through Christina's Amazon link, though. That's something, at least.

$5 now, more when next I get paid. My father's going through a similiar thing, so I know what it's like. I only hope things work out for your friend.

[justydrink.livejournal.com]

Maybe you can make each dollar a "share" of votes towards which 15 minute movie you do next. One dollar = one vote, 25 = 25 votes.

I can just see the bidding war for people's favorite movies.

Off to donate now.

[mysticowl.livejournal.com]

$10 and my strongest well wishes going Christina's way.

[bandgeek.livejournal.com]

Hi ... linked here from luna_k ...

I saw on the website that you're auctioning off things to help, as well. Is this something you're still doing? I crochet, and I was thinking that maybe I could help that way.

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

I'm just the messenger--you'd have to ask Christina. I think her LJ is sapphsmum. : )

[lyrainverse.livejournal.com]

As someone who is newly insuranceless, I'm starting to understand how bills can pile up. Luckily my health problems are relatively minor. I socked in a few bucks, wish I could do more.

The American Cancer Society has "Hope Lodges" around the country where cancer patients can stay for free while they're getting treatments. My friend works at one in Cincinnati. I'm sure Christina has looked into this, but you might want to let her know to check it out on the off-chance she hasn't heard of it.

[ambiguousreason.livejournal.com]

$50. Because she needs it way more than I do. I'm certainly going to keep her in my thoughts & prayers, too.

[bodhichitta0.livejournal.com]

$5. (My cousin is on SSI and has never worked due to severe epilepsy. She needs to get a pro bono attorney. SSI always turns you down the first 2-3 times you apply.)

[morgandawn.livejournal.com]

you don't need a pro bono attorney- she should look for an experienced SSI atty - after you are denied they take a cut of your recovery (no more than $5k total). Have your relative contact the nearest Center For Independent Living Center (do a google search under this name and your town)- they have referrals.

I couldn't make a donation last time you were asking so i sent double this time

[dawnie1970.livejournal.com]

Thanks for this link! I donated $4.00, one dollar for each member of my family. God Bless.

[dtwirler.livejournal.com]

Could only afford $5. Wish I could have done more.

[pixiellie.livejournal.com]

Amazon says that the organization gets notified as well, yes?

[serenitystarre.livejournal.com]

A fiver from a broke high school student. Christina will be in my thoughts when I do the ACS's Relay for Life in June. It's so hard to get by in this world...
