Earlier this morning, I talked on the phone with fellow Kossack and Charlottean Fineena (Karen)--our work yesterday paid off, and she's got enough money to pay off May's rent. For those who don't know, not long after we helped her get enough to make it for April, she had a job all lined up, only to have it fall through when at the last minute they decided to hire internally instead.
But she's not out of the woods yet. The only way her landlord will let her stay is if she gets June's rent---$800--in by Saturday. No ifs, ands or buts. She's already got some of the money to go toward that, but is going to need a good bit more help to get through this. There's two ways to help.
- Head on over to her Etsy store and buy one of her handmade scarves. If you enter "may2012" in the appropriate box, you get 20 percent off. I bought one myself to surprise my mom on her birthday.
- Send her some love via PayPal at PalsKaren@aol.com
She's already casting a net out for jobs, but every little bit will help.
