A very proud and hard-working friend of mine has been suffering from an unknown, undiagnosable illness (along with chronic fibromyalgia and serious GI issues). She has been mighty the past few years, running FeliciTea hardcore, but she is in such pain and so swamped with medical bills that her business is almost certain to disappear.

I don’t often “send out the signal” or whatever, partly because I usually feel conflicted about them, partly because I do not want my friends and family to be inundated with requests for help and the possible guilt involved there.

What I will say is that this person who hasn’t asked anything from anyone before has been reduced to begging in order to make it through the next two weeks. I intend to donate because I could probably do with one less night of eating out in order to help someone I know personally, who is trying their hardest, to survive. If you’re interested, please read her blog entry where she asks for help, and help if you wish to do so.

  1. Don’t know her, but trust you. Plus, anyone who starts a business like that is no slacker. Sent.

  5. Of course. You’d do the same for mine, right?

    • Well, I don’t know if you mean your business, your family, or your illness, but I am indeed fond of you and would be likely to. This is, I believe, the only time I’ve done this so far. Of course, like you, most of my friends with fibro are coping and surviving right now. I do have another friend with an illness that is diagnosed but thus far untreatable, and that’s been pretty rough. Money won’t fix her problem, though, as far as we know.

  7. I miss her terribly and didn’t know where to follow her anymore (I wasn’t allowed to talk to her, last I knew). Thank you so much for boosting this signal.
