ETA: OMG YAYE! We've reached our goal, and then some, so please don't send me any more money! If you're someone whose money I've handled, and you'd like an accounting of how it was used, or a screencap of what happened to it, feel free to email me with the address you used to send it to me, and I'd be more than happy to give an accounting.

OMG YOU GUYS I LOVE FANDOM AND I LOVE YOU ALL YOU'RE SO AWESOME. How awesome are we? We raised $3000 for some awesome people in barely 48 hours, and Amazon caps donations at $50.

If you've been in the DC fandom for a while, you don't need me to tell you what this fandom owes to [info]thete1. In fact, if you've been in fandom for a while, you're likely to know her: Te's been active in more fandom's than I can count. She's written a lot of fic, and odds are you've read and liked some of it. Also, she's the sex.

[info]buggery never backs down from a fight. Ze never lets a wrong go by without opposing it. Ze holds hir friends to the same standards as hir enemies, and it's been an honour knowing hir.

In addition to being a swell crime-fighting team, and occasional co-authors, Te and Jack are united in their crusade for accessible living space; for over a year Te and Jack have been trying to find a place they can live in that will accommodate their accessibility needs. They need a wheelchair ramp, and they've found a beautiful place, with a lovely landlord, but the funds to build the ramp just aren't there.

[info]hradzka has set up an account to raise funds to help them build a ramp. David ([info]hradzka) is a fandom old-timer, and good people: I trust him, personally.

So! If you can help, do! Amazon will accept donations as small as $1.00 US. If you can't help out with funds (and not everyone can, there's a lot of great causes out there) think about linking to it so that other people who've known Te, and maybe drifted away from her fandom, can hear about it maybe help out. (David's giving away writing to raise awareness of his fund-raising, as well. (You could too, if you wanted to!))

Hey. I was directed this way, since I don't have a credit card, and would like to contribute using Paypal. I'm sending it via your email address, so hope it reaches safely. :)

I want to help!

Unfortunately, money is very tight in the LaKali household right now. (Long story short, my partner lost his job. Whatever. This is not about me.)

I'm willing to write gift fic for others who donate too. http://sara-lakali.livejournal.com/1953.html

I don't see it yet. It may just be delayed, but would you like to check and make sure you sent it to the email address you think you did, from the email address you think you did?

Yep, I definitely got it this time. You might want to check your account and make sure you haven't paid anything twice.

I'm ready to make a donation regardless, but doesn't the ADA require the building owner to build the ramp on his own dime?

You might want to talk to David about that. I've talked to Jack, very briefly ("Oh good, you're alive! And have you killed Te and hidden the body? No? Good!") we didn't discuss logistics.

Gotcha. I'll try to follow up with him (although we've never met *g*).

OK, so I don't have a credit card and I can't use PayPal but...I'd be more then willing to send some money over the old fashioned way?

You should discuss that with David. I think if you wanted to mail a check, something could be worked out.

Shoot! I wish I'd read this earlier. Are you sure you guys are all good? Te doesn't know me from the cat's mother, but a long time ago when I was first getting into Buffy fandom, she was really nice to me when she didn't have to be, and I'd love to do something to help her out. Let me know if I can!

As it turns out, they were unable to get the apartment, so we had to call off the wedding and return all the gifts, which man: depressing. I know a lot of people really wanted to be able to help; thanks.

Shit; seriously?

Damn, I'm really sorry. I'll check back here (and at Te's IJ) to see if anything else materializes.
