Dear SPN-Fandom, dear fandoms all over the world,

in the last few hours, something amazing happened, the very reason why internet and fandom is so important.
A fellow fan is in trouble. She has Endometriosis, and basically is going to die if she canet get a surgery. But she has no insurance, which means, no money.
After only a few hours, over on tumblr and spreading to all the other social media sites, her friends collected about 8k already (they're aiming for 30k). My dash is exploding with messages from ALL fandoms, everyone donating 5$ or 10$ or whatever they can afford. Everyone is boosting the signal, offering to write, to draw, to do whatever they can to help.
Please do it too. Whether just spreading the word und donating some money. Let's unite our fandoms and help a girl to survive!


This is what I wrote this morning on my facebook page. By now, the magic didn't vanish, but spread even wider. Our very own Kim Rhodes got in contact with her to tell her about her doctor who treatet her for the same desease. Random Acts is spreading the word and our lovely cast on twitter is retweeting like crazy. Sashi is now up to 21k.

Please, spread the word, my dear flist, and help in any way you can! Thank you!!

here's the tumblr site for the donations: Because we're a family
here's Sashi's tumblr site: Sashi's tumblr
here's the facebook page: Donate for Sashi

you know, even if you don't have money right now or not many people to reblog this to, go take a look at those sites. You're gonna be OVERWHELMED with the amount of love that unites all our fandoms, and our SPN fandom especially! I can promise you I cried and laughed and was reminded all over again, that Family Don't End With Blood.

Could really use people like that in my life rn.

I'm glad to see there are still good people who care in the world. I happened to encounter one who didn't tonight, and now I'm going to end up selling everything I own because of it.

This is sweet - a few years back I needed to have foot surgery & at the time I didn't have insurance to pay for it. If I waited it would have gotten worse so I was struggling trying to figure out what to do. One day some local HPs had a meet up & when I got there they gave me money to pay for the surgery. It happened pretty much like this - the organizer (my friend Jenn) asked on her LJ if anyone could help out and they did! I still get chills when I think about it. I cried when I opened the envelope (I think I said, 'but, it's not my birthday... " LOL)

So, yeah, Fandom does nice things! :)

Er, that would be local HP fans - from LJ fandom, not local HP's... LOL
