A friend of a friend (shuju_the_red) who lives in the Philippines is in trouble - she and her family will be evicted from their home if they don't raise $2500 USD by 11am Friday, Philippines time (10pm Thursday EST). They are halfway there, but that's still a lot of money to raise in not a lot of hours.

A full explanation of the situation and a donation button are here. If you can spare just a couple of dollars, it would help.

Also, Sam Henderson is offering a free, signed copy of her book Heaven's Bones to anyone who donates $10 or more - with free shipping if you're in the US.

eta: alankria is offering postcard stories to anyone who donates $25 or more.
