Only $300 covers the last bit of my rent gap & allows me to get my phone service restored. Please help if you can.

There are MANY more excellent reasons for national healthcare, but this pocket-sized book presents a vision of a publicly funded healthcare program that covers all basic medical services—a fundamental human right.

Normally this costs $14

Today, it's just $5!

Not to be all pathetic on Main, but I'm currently without phone service & short on rent. Anything you can spare to help me muddle through until I can find a new job is deeply appreciated.

I truly hate to keep asking, but I am really struggling. I would much rather be working, but am continually coming up empty, no matter how many resumes I send out. I know there are so many worthy causes that need your help, but I'm hoping you can spare a little.

Hey, friends. I'm still having no luck with the job search, but sitll have expenses, both for everyday living & for keeping Bookstore Romance Day going (though the former is more pressing than the latter at the moment). Any help is truly & deeply appreciated. #Romancelandia
I have ten days to get this to $1500 to be able to cover rent & bills. I'm doing everything I can to find work, but the job market sucks & I can neither stand for extended periods of time nor drive, so retail & gig work are out. Any help is deeply appreciated.

I desperately need to get this to at least $1500 to I can pay rent & utilities, including a late fee to my landlord that I didn't know I had accrued.

Friends, I hate to keep asking, but the job market is not kind & I have rent & bills to pay & nothing coming in with which to pay them, never mind getting new glasses or replacing the broken printer. Please, please help if you can. #Romancelandia

I know things are tough all over, but I really need to get this to $1500 by month's end to cover expenses (including rent) & maybe purchase some much-needed equipment (like a printer that works). Your help is deeply appreciated. gofund.me/898dd906b

Okay, friends. If we can get the #BookstoreRomanceDay GoFundMe to $1500 by end of month, I will read this & live-post my real-time reactions as soon as it's available for review. If a digital review copy doesn't become available, I swear to get it from the library & read/review.

New year, new GoFundMe. I'm still unemployed, still looking, but still limited in what I can do (no standing or driving) because of ongoing recovery from my injury & surgery. This is the only way I can ensue Bookstore Romance Day happens this year. #Romancelandia #IndieBookstores
