I just posted on part of the people part, and yes, it's for real. I'm trying to raise money for a charity that a friend of mine runs in rural Bulgaria. A woman in the ghetto has no door. She has a piece of fabric hanging in a hole where a door would be nice. The floor is currently very uneven, and she hopes to provide a level cement floor so that the lady won't trip and fall.

For the animals, she's trying to provide new harnesses for two horses (and horse shoes), medication for animals, and spaying and neutering.
