The Need is Great

Not ours, we're fine. Not terrific--summer break is hard on bus drivers--but we're okay. (If you want to help, there's always my Patreon, soon with craft videos)

But there are a lot of people I know who could use any help that can be spared.

Cat Grant, M/M author, is in dire and immediate need. She has back taxes to pay in order to keep her car. Without a car, she cannot work. Anything helps. https://www.gofundme.com/5f66gp4
She's also available as a freelance editor.

Brian Keene, horror author, had an accident while clearing brush and is in a burn unit. He has no health insurance. There is a GoFundMe to help with the medical bills, which are expected to top $$200,000 https://www.gofundme.com/brian-keene-burn-fund

Billy Martin, who wrote vampires in the 90s as Poppy Z. Brite, is trying to get his mother's house livable so he and his husband have a place to live. His mother let the place go during her final illness and both of them are disabled, so they require contracted assistance on the project.

Elizabeth Donald is making a major life change and going to grad school this fall, with an eye to teaching journalism. However, she still has a household to support.
She has a Patreon, a photography site with gift shop and will be working as a freelance editor as well.

It's tough times, friends and neighbors. Support what and who you love.
