unixronin: The kanji for "chugo" (Duty/loyalty)
Monday, May 8th, 2006 08:28 pm

Consider this:

  • You are diagnosed with breast cancer.  Your insurance covers many, but not all, of the resulting expenses.
  • After being mistakenly told you are in premature menopause, you find that what you thought was a new tumor is in fact a seven-month-old pregnancy.  You're not prepared for the expense of a baby after just fighting your cancer to a standstill.
  • Meanwhile, you and your husband lose your jobs, running up yet more debt before you can find new jobs.
  • Your cancer returns.
  • And in the middle of this, the bank forecloses on you.

It'd pretty much suck big, spiky rocks through a straw, wouldn't it?  If you can spare a few dollars, please go read this post in [livejournal.com profile] beckyzoole's journal and send a small donation to [livejournal.com profile] otterhill.  If enough people send $5, it just might be enough to keep [livejournal.com profile] otterhill and [livejournal.com profile] the_geoffrey from losing their house on top of everything else that's happened to them.
