Student and adorable dog asking for tuition help.

This is very similar to one I've already posted, for which I am sorry! But a good friend of mine, also in the Celtic Studies dept here, is also trying to raise money for the same Welsh course. (This is a course we need to take for our degree to be worth anything; it's not just for fun!) She was going to go to Ireland and do a course there instead, but had to cancel because of the combination of a divorce that left her with no money (or assets, or home to go back to), and unexpected vet bills for her service dog (she's hearing-impaired). She hasn't been able to get any support from family or her own friends yet. People have been wonderfully generous to my campaign (I even went a little over and have been able to pay it forward to some other 'boosts) and I know it would restore her faith in the world a bit to get even the smallest boost from kind strangers!

Her campaign is here. She's offering thank-you notes, photobomb-in-a-castle thank-you notes, and crocheted things for helping out. (And you can see the adorable dog in the photo.)
