desertvixen | Auction to help fire_and_a_rose with Health Care Costs

Auction to benefit

fire_and_a_rose , whose family has some chronic and serious medical issues that insurance does not fully cover.

The information is here.

FROM THE PAGE:
Being chronically ill costs money, especially when you're in the USA and insurance covers little of it.

The family of

fire_and_a_rose is in tens of thousands of dollars of medical debt. We are attempting to hold an auction to help them in any way, no matter how small. You may auction off you ability to write a story (give a minimum length, and the “winner” can request the topic), or to draw art — to offer one, or five — or to offer pieces of knitting, or clothing, comics, books, or something similar if you prefer something tangible.

The situation is increasingly desperate; both

fire_and_a_rose and her mother have lyme and bartonella, while

fire_and_a_rose has babesia as well, and has been in treatment for over a decade, with progress finally showing with a switch to a new doctor in the past year. It’s thousands of dollars each months in bills. Her mother will cease to see a doctor if necessary, or to treat to a lesser extent, but obviously they would like to avoid that.

Please, comment here with what you are willing to auction off, and the number — all pertinent details.

And then advertise. Advertise, advertise, advertise. Link this everywhere. Please.

People can begin bidding under comments immediately upon seeing something they are interested in (outline for how to go about it is below); people can continue to list items to auction up until June 20th. Bidding will continue until the 24th, at which point the final winners will be declared and money sent to a paypal account that belongs to

fire_and_a_rose is a wonderful person and friend, and any help you can offer in getting the word out/putting items up/bidding will be greatly appreciated!!
