Hi folks,

Calista+12 has been a member of our community for nearly 2 years and has been on disability since 2005. Recent economic times have taken a toll on her and her husband, however, as he has been laid off from work and can't find new work. They need a grant to try and climb out of the financial hole they're living in right now, and I hope that the grant provides them a ray of hope and helps them find their footing once again.

So she's asked for a Community Connection Grant from our nonprofit, the Psych Central Community Connection.

I know these are rough economic times for many people, but I want you to seriously consider donating to this Community Fund Drive. I know that a financial contribution may not be possible, so if that's the case, please leave your prayers and thoughts privately or in this thread.

Psych Central will match dollar for dollar of every dollar donated (up to the maximum of $250; $500 total to the member). Every dollar counts, so even if you can afford just $5, please consider this request.

Donations can be made through PayPal to us at:

http://psychcentral.org/donate/

Otherwise, send your check or money order (no cash, please) to:

Psych Central Community Connection
55 Pleasant St., Suite 207
Newburyport, MA 01950

Everyone who donates gets access to our exclusive Poohbah Forum, and our thanks for helping out another member in need in our community. In addition, donations are tax deductible as allowable by law, as the Psych Central Community Connection is a recognized 501(c)3 public charity.

This Community Fund Drive will run for approximately one week; donations will close on Friday, March 18, 2011.

As always, I thank you for your kind consideration and support.

Best,
DocJohn
