Doc needs help (that would be me and mine, folks)

I have been advised that it might be a good idea to make this situation public as Herself and I have a chance to make a very bad situation she's in a lot lighter.

This all starts a year ago this past January when we took Orion and Rhea in to the vet to get fixed. 138 bucks, Herself paid with a check and we thought all was well. We find out last October (and no I'm not making this up) that the check in fact had bounced back in January, we were just never told about it (by vet or bank) and it was at that point sitting in the prosecutor's office. Mortified, we of course paid it off straightaway by certified mail as I had been advised to do by a lady working in the prosecutor's office.

Fast forward to two weeks ago Tuesday night. Knock at the door and o hai it's two Columbia police officers come to pick Herself up on a failure to appear! She had no idea she was supposed to appear for this, no summons even though they swear up and down she was served. Which is kind of a trick considering the day they said they served her she was at work in another jurisdiction entirely and thus out of their purview but away she went. I bonded her out straightaway, of course, but she has to appear at an arraignment on Friday. They transferred her from the city to county lockup where she went from being treated very nicely and very professionally to being put in four point restraints like she was some kind of violent criminal. She was so traumatized by all this she's going back into therapy and took nearly a week before she was even able to go back to work.

Thus we come to the point of this post. If I can raise 500 bucks by tomorrow, she won't even have to appear at the arraignment which would be a tremendous relief. So if you've ever enjoyed the music I play on weekends or just feel like helpin' a brother out, a Paypal button is below. I hope I did this right, anyway. I just really want to help Herself out. I really hate to beg, folks, but with this opportunity I can't pass up the chance. Gods bless you all.

Update: 714 and change, folks! Whee! Thank you all so very much!

I'd help if we could, but the truth is we're scraping the barrel for money ourselves.

Posted and tweeted with an offer to match up to $50 worth of donations. Wish I could do more.

Thanks, hon. Every little bit does indeed help.

This is horrible. I don't know you, but I donated some money. Have been through the courts myself, it's not a pleasant experience at all, and what Herself has gone through is even worse.

Retweeted rosefox's tweet and hope you can get it all together.

*hugs*

Being you is more than enough, luv. One of these nights I need to figure how to do a streaming webcam thingy with this laptop so I can say hullo to my favoritest Gwyn, and how is Miss Eowyn?

Here via [info]rosefox's link and I sent what I could based on my own bad experience with law enforcement. Good luck.

This. It is only a pittance but may it be helpful to you.

I wish I could donate, but I'm going to be lucky if I can pay all of the electric bill this month, much less buy my daughter diapers. I'm sorry. I have retweeted the link and asked my friends to help, though.

Perfectly fine, hon, considering all you're going through. I may not reply a lot, but I do read. Give the elf a hug for me.

Got here late, due to big thunderstorm locally, but I'm in. Please keep us posted on what happens.

I am broke but boosted the signal through my FB. Here via Emma Bull. I'm so sorry this happened to your friend. :(

what're you up to?

it's about 8.5 hours after you posted. danielle corsetto (http://www.daniellecorsetto.com/gws.html) just did a sequence on internet fundraising, with a happy ending, so i totally need to send you some cash.

let us know how it's going, best of luck to herself, and: you're getting a new veterinarian, right? one that'll call you if the check bounces? this whole thing is just wrong.

Here via [info]coffeeem. I don't know you, but I can massage things into an extra $40 to spare, and you could use it. I hope you guys make that $500, and that the whole stupid mess gets put to rest very very soon. I'm so sorry.

Coming to you through Emma's blog. Your situation just sucks. I don't know you guys, but I dropped a you a wee tiny donation... sorry, best I could do at the moment. Hope you can raise the required $$$ in time!

You don't know me, but a friend of a friend in need is a friend of a friend indeed. A small amount, I'm afraid, but every tiny bit helps.

[info]docwebster

August 12 2010, 15:04:26 UTC 1 year ago

Indeed it does, even from a Brujah. (Nossies for life.. or something!)

[info]docmom

Here from Cindy (cbpotts). Sent you a bit, hopefully every little bit helps. Good luck!

I can drop a double sawbuck on you in the morning, when my paycheque drops.

I've been through this myself. It's all manner of no fun, and being honest about it did once get me briefly detained by Canadian border guards, which was fun in retrospect, but seemed quite confusing at the time.

Well, I came back this morning and found that you'd raised more than enough. Let me know if there's anyway I can still lend assistance. :)

Just posted the total. Y'all rock the party, that's just all there is to it.
