Hi! My name is Sandy and I coud use a little bit of help.
This past Friday our little community lost power. The power was out for 36 hrs. When the power came back on, I had to throw out all of my food in my freezer and refrigerator. Sheriff deputies brought me hambugers and water, but now I need to go grocery shopping. I am elderly and live on social security. I can only afford one trip to the grocery store per month.....and my next check will not be here until the end of the first week in September. I would appreciate it if you have a few dollars to spare so I could buy groceries.
My GoFundMe account is: https://www.gofundme.com/to-buy-groceries
If you can donate any money, I thank you from the bottom of my heart!

And I chipped in, as well, hope it helps! 
Kick in to the DU tip jar?
This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.
As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
