Hi folks,

It's Spring and it hasn't been since last summer that we held out last fund drive. Beadlady29 needs some assistance.

Many of you know beadlady29, who's been a member here since August of 2010. She is in a tough spot with her bills & rent, and the money will give her some much-needed breathing room so she can get things in order in her living situation (which, if she cares to share with you, involves a lot more trauma than I feel comfortable sharing).

She has submitted an application, which has been reviewed and approved, for a Community Connection Grant from our nonprofit, the Psych Central Community Connection.

I know these are still tough 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 (using your credit card or bank account) to us at:

Donate | Psych Central Community Connection

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, April 5, 2013.

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

Best,
DocJohn

beadlady,

My thoughts are with you honey.

I wish that I had some $ to help you, but I'm really tight right now, unfortunately! I'm sorry. Please know that you are in my thoughts and hopes for things to turn around for you very quickly ~ it sounds as though you're in a real bad spot.

If I run into some extra cash, I'll be sure to send it your way!
