I don't know her personally and she's about 5 months pregnant, with our friend Taunya there to help. Im afraid I would be more of an imposition than a help to be honest.

I'll be checking in on her, through Taunya after the baby too, see if there are little things we can do to help when they need it.

(b) Food

Would something like a Go Fund Me campaign be possible? I don't have a lot to spare now, but in a few weeks, I'd happily contribute.

I hope things improve for them and I'm sure that the beautiful things you knit will be cherished. I know the handmade gifts that were given to my kids have been. :) Thank you for being awesome.

Aw, thanks!

I will poke Taunya about GoFundMe for them, I think right now she is brokering through her own paypal.

Normally I would not reccommend donating to someone's personal account to give to a third person, but Taunya is very good people, and has been singing/bff's with my sister and her hubby for a bajillion years, at least 15 years. Taunya is good people.

I have collected donations through paypal and otherwise for a number of people and causes, so have friends I know... but I'm overly trusting- and that's okay. The once I've been burned doesn't take the joy away from the times I've been able to help.
