Editor-in-chief here, offering to trade original poetry for donations to a contributor who’s now homeless

Hi, I’m Cristina Deptula, editor-in-chief of Synchronized Chaos Magazine (www.synchchaos.com) and I’m personally offering to send a piece of original poetry to anyone who sends a donation of any amount to the working, but homeless, mother and daughter mentioned in this blog (and all over the news last year.) http://my.lettersoflove.net/lettersforkaty/

I know the family personally and have built a relationship with them over time, as have many others - and they have been diligently job-searching and writing, and I’d like to see them get a break. You may check out the 17-year old daughter’s writing and graphic design here: destinationanywherebuthere.blogspot.com. Their PayPal account is down due to a mixup - so we’re collecting prepaid Visa and MasterCards.

You can mail Visa and MasterCard gift cards to:

Elizabeth and Katy Hughes
PO Box 111525
Campbell, CA 95011

They apparently now have a mentor and a lead on housing and a job, but that’s in Pennsylvania (across the United States from where they are now, in California) and they need to come up with cash for the move.
Please let me know you donated, at cedeptula@sbcglobal.net, and I’ll send you a poem!

  Apparently (for good reason-see the link) you can’t use Priceline for airline tickets if you’re traveling with pets so airlines have to be contacted directly. If anyone knows an experienced travel agent willing to donate their time and expertise, that would be such a blessing to them! http://travelb.priceline.com/customerservice/customerservice.do?c=&t=pets&f=searchquestion&p=AIRLINE&question=504&jsk=2203010a2003010a20100217175310063e01465770&plf=PCLN

  Tell Mother Courage to hold her head up. If she’s doing the best that she can it doesn’t matter what anyone else thinks.
