You are doing it again, O Great Orangers! (Hmm...Great Orangetons? Great Orangutans?) And how!
As the flotilla of post-post-debate diaries continued to sail up the Recent List and dock on great Wreck, you took notice of emeraldmaiden's important call to the community:
A Four-Legged Friend In Need.
Our beloved community member LoreleiHI and her service dog, Dervish, were in a car accident yesterday. LoreleiHI is okay (-ish); home from the hospital now. But Dervish needs urgent and extensive treatment. Now. The vet needs payment. Now.
WOWZA! In a few hours, you--YOU!!!--have chipped in a gob-smacking $1501.
It's astounding. It has shown LoreleiHI and Dervish that they are loved and supported. It has also shown the vet that we are for real, and she is willing to begin treatment. An astonishing array of generous contributions: $5. $10. $25. $50. $100. $200. Each of these gifts represents so much love and sacrifice. Every donation is special.
It is, however, less than a quarter of the way to the estimated goal. Please go to emeraldmaiden's diary and contribute at least a diary recommendation, so that every Kossack who drops in today will get the chance to help Dervish if they can. The diary also has pics of the wonderful woozle, and more details and links: GoFundMe and PayPal. I'm not gonna give 'em to you here. Hop over there; tip & rec; FB & Twitter; circulate the word in other diaries.
You can save Dervish's life. Yes, you can.
