signalboostHeya all! forests_of_fire pointed me this way and recommended I post this here. I glanced over the info in the profile, and hope I'm doing this right!
So, a friend of mine is in a really bad spot.robertsloan2 is living in San Francisco in a residence hotel on $750 a month disability. His rent is $600. (Or something like this. My details may be off but it is ridiculous.) While he gets food stamps, this puts him in a place where he cannot afford anything beyond bare necessities, and sometimes not even that.
Robert's computer died this morning. We are looking at donating our working laptop, but it is six years old, and I'm not sure how much time it has left. The Internet is Robert's support network and more than that, his livelihood, as he is a writer and looking to self-publish. Without a working computer, he can't do any of this.
Because of complications with Social Security counting any money that Robert receives through his paypal as income (and will thus take it out of his disability checks), I will be acting as guardian for the collected funds and will arrange to have the laptop purchased and sent to him, and will make sure that he receives any funds leftover. My paypal is mistressnonny@gmail.com.
Every little bit helps. Please pass this around! Thank you guys! :)
(And if someone else wants to write a more concise version to post around, please go right ahead. I am not so great at doing that, LOL.)
