Help out somebody in need.

I do not ordinarily use this journal specifically to plead for help, but in this case I am making an exception.

kittybecca, her two daughters, and eddyneko and thenagual (who were living with Becca and her kids) lost everything they owned but the clothes on their backs when their house burned to the ground last night. Because she is a single mother who was trying to make ends meet, she had no renters' insurance, and so she is now faced with the task of rebuilding from the ground up.

Their very good friend Germaine, aka relevantpink, has set up a page with the relevant info, including links to a Paypal donation page for those of you who want to help out.

I don't know any of the people involved, but Becca is very special to relevantpink and arkhamrefugee, two people whose judgement of other people is absolutely first-rate, so she must be really something. Please go and donate something if you can -- make a cash donation through Paypal or send some of the needed clothes and food items to the address listed.

[edit: there are now multiple mirrors of the "Help Becca Out" page. Here they are]:
