I am on disability myself so don’t have much to offer dollar-wise. Permission to spread the word? PEACE.

Done. Never met any of you in RL, but I will be damned if I see anyone lose their home over some paperwork. I went ahead without permission and emailed some friends of mine if that is OK.  
Mr. Malion looks like a cool dude to hang around with! Please tell him I said “Hello”.

Yay for payday. **Suburban Plankton** and I were happy to donate what little we could. I shared on FB. Hope it helps.

Gave a little, I know it all helps. Having MS myself and awaiting my third hearing for SS Disability, my heart goes out. Best of luck to Brian!

I donated a while ago when it was under $2k. Glad to see it is so much bigger now!

$27 at a time. You’re like friggin Bernie Sanders 🙂

With a better outcome than Sanders may have in Philadelphia, I expect…

If the campaign lasts long enough, I certainly wouldn’t be adverse to donating more than once.

Ditto. I am paid fortnightly so can drop a few quid in again in two weeks.

Is there a deadline or cutoff date for this? It’s not clear how much time he has to raise the money and whether we’re in “moderately urgent” or “desperately urgent” territory here.

Yeah. Halfway done in half a month sounds great, but I don’t know how long we have.

Good question. I PM’d **BMalion** a few days ago but haven’t heard back yet. In any event, many thanks for your generosity!

Yes, with being almost halfway to the goal that may still hold off the bank, seeing as how they will get a good chunk of what is owed.
