For the few who aren't already aware

chibitoaster is in danger of losing her home, and is seeking help to keep it. I don't know her well, but have admired her work in the HP fandom for years. Her story isn't one of poor budgeting, but of her family home having been in probate after her mother's death and the bank demanding the balance of the mortgage as a lump sum.

There's also an auction for her at fans4fans: http://fans4fans.livejournal.com/501.html Several of my flisties have put items/services up for auction.

This is an issue that's been getting so much space on my flist this week that I thought perhaps I'd just be adding to the noise. But I also know that there are folks on my list that are not in the HP fandom (or the same parts of it). And a signal boost never hurts :)
