Lucy's Spleen

Unorthodox Organizing

Him: You own a metronome?

Me: Sure.

Him: What do you use it for?

Me: I never use it.

Him: What is it doing on the porch?

Me: It was in the hammock box.

Now that I think of it, that doesn't seem like such an unpromising pairing.

I know I don't exactly live here anymore, but this emergency in the life of someone dear merits a check-in and so much more.

 

Squid said it best, so let's hear it from her:

Gwendomama is one of my favorite people and bloggers. She is a loud-mouthed, small-business-owning, straight-shooting, food-loving, empathetic woman and dedicated mom. She is a wonderful friend to folks both inside and outside of the computer, to parents who advocate for special needs kids, and especially to parents who -- like her -- have faced the unimaginable in losing a child.

The unimaginable happened to her again. Last month, she became a victim, and to literally add insult to injury, she has found herself in a financial hole. Please, please help us help our hardworking friend gather funds for her and her children's immediate needs: food, rent, utility bills.

We are bloggers. Our superpower is connectivity, and when we use that power for good, we can save and change the world. Please forward, blog, connect, and -- especially -- donate. The campaign will end next Friday, 5/22. No amount is too small, and the sky's the limit. Thank you.

Really. Thank you.
