I have to unexpectedly drive to Dallas to the hospital to help with my dad. (He is stable just life with fatal illnesses nearing the end.)
I need everyone to give & share while I am driving & getting set back up at the hospital.
We still can still match $715 more before the end of the night!

Who will claim the title of first donation today!? (This is cheesy.)
Everything we raise today will go to improving The Rise House to help us make it more welcoming for women and non-binary people!
For example, we need money to make it wheelchair accessible.

It’s absolutely absurd that the keyboard that comes with an iMac doesn’t have a ten-key. I get it for a laptop. But a desktop?
