PSA: Please help all you can

[teddy_radiator]

I mentioned a few days ago that stgulik lost her mom. This is the terrible and tragic news: Stgulik's mother, brother and sister-in-law were in their home watching the television when a drunk driver smashed into their living room. Her mother instantly lost her life while her brother and sister-in-law were critically injured. Her sister-in-law is still in hospital, recovering from a broken back, severe concussion, and multiple painful bruises and scrapes.

They have started a Gofundme page. Donations will go to assist in unforeseen/uncovered expenses, loss of income, and rebuilding their lives. Please donate or share to help in this difficult time of need. Any amount helps. The Gofundme page can be found HERE.

I cannot imagine the agony they are all going through at the moment, but this is such a compassionate and loving community, and I thought you would all want to know how to help. I remember how generously so many of you pitched in when TheHubs™ had his stroke, and I hope you can help here.

Oh, my goodness! This is... is... This doesn't even sound real, it's so terrible! May this family be wrapped in kindness and generosity in the midst of this horrible shock, this pain, this loss. Thank you for sharing this page so we can help, Teddy.

This is absolutely horrifying and so heartbreaking. I can't imagine how many lives have been shattered by this one dreadful act. I'm so sorry for the suffering stgulik and her family are going through.

Thank you for the link, Teddy, and for letting us know what happened.

I can't even imagine how horrendous this must be. Going to the bank today to add some funds to the cc; thank you for sharing the link.

Hey!!! I didn't know you were back on LiveJournal! It's lovely to see you! I hope you are well

Thank you for your help. I know Stgulik appreciates everyone's concern. ♥

You're lovely and very kind! I am indeed back on LJ; it's a recent development. I got a new account (I deleted the old one a few years ago and it's all fresh and new now). I'm about to publish a new book, and I'm writing a fic for HP Kinkfest. Things are very different, and it's excellent ;-)

I'm so sorry Stgulik is going through such a horrible ordeal; I can't even wrap my head around it. What a terrible way to lose a loved one... Like too_dle_oo said, it hardly seems possible something like this could have happened, like a nightmare. I can only hope that the affection sent Stgulik's way is helping, even in a minute measure, and that her brother and sister-in-law will make a full recovery.

Thank you for posting this link, and the previous announcement too. I got DMs from some of my flisters, which was lovely. Ever since last Sunday, it feels like I can't even draw a proper breath anymore. My SIL's extended family came rushing into town, and all of us took charge of a massive to-do list. I myself have been spending the week traveling between hospitals (for some reason, my bro and SIL weren't taken to the same one), talking to agencies, and figuring out final arrangements for my mother. The other people who lived in Dan's house -- my nephew and my SIL's mother -- are basically homeless now. We're hoping the Go Fund Me will help the entire fam rent an apartment or small house temporarily, with some destroyed furniture replaced. That's eventually ... after my brother and SIL are well enough to go home ... which we have no timeframe about ... Hey look this is like blog-post length. I could go write a post, don't you think? :)

I am going to privately share this on my journal if that's ok.
