Dear Cassie, Josh and Ruby,

Your friends in fandom have chipped in about two thousand dollars towards your computer replacements. We're not all the way there yet, but we're pretty close, and with what people have said they're sending via snail mail, we're close to 2250.00.

Cassie, you told me this morning that among the other things stolen were Star Wars toys in their original packaging, which Ruby had gathered for the kids section of the hospital where she's a resident. As of the now, any excess donations above and beyond what's needed for the computers will go to replacing the stolen toys, so those kids in hospital can have some diversionary fun.

How's that sound?

Love,
Heidi, on behalf of some 300 people, whose email addys will be in a spreadsheet for y'all tomorrow.

Well, I wasn't trying to be snide - quite the opposite - iwas trying to be helpful and practical, and I gave advice and made some offers of help, which she hasn't replied to. And I visited the website where there is already a fundraiser going.

I understand that she's very overwrought, and that she's in a very difficult familial situation, but it sounded from her ignoring my offer re the tapes that she didn't want my help, but just wanted to vent. If I'm misreading it and she wants me to plug the fundraiser her mom's friends have already organized, I'm happy to do so, but from her posts, it really sounded to me like an offer from some random person would've been seen as an insult.

But, like I said, if I misread her second post (the 2-part one) then I'm happy to post about the collection they've posted on the website, link to the site, etc.
