Donations for Lisa’s Family

By Secondhand Karl on March 7th, 2009

This afternoon at 4:00 PM Eastern, 1:00 PM Pacific is Lisa’s virtual memorial. If you’re not already registered at Talkshoe for the show, go do that now.

You might also want to download the Talkshoe client, though it’s not required to listen to the show. I do think it makes for a better experience, however.

LINK TO THE SHOW

Call in number: 724-444-7444, Call ID 23738

We’ll be talking about Lisa, how she touched our lives, and there’s a chatroom for everyone to join in, even if you don’t feel like calling in to talk. Plenty of room for everyone, so I hope to see lots of you there.

We’ll also be raising donations for Lisa’s family. If you can afford to help, great. If not, not a problem. As Lisa would say, “It is what it is.” But here are the immediate ways in which you can help, aside from just commenting on her blog.

Donations

Here’s a PayPal account you can donate money to. It goes directly to Dude, Lisa’s husband. He says donations have already started and he’s very appreciative.

Meals

Thanks to Cheeky Sweetie, we have a way to send home-cooked meals to John and the girls, via Make & Take Gourmet. John says his freezer is fully-packed at the moment, but if you’d like to donate a meal, here’s how.

Call 610-376-2006, ask for Kimberly. Tell them you’d like a meal delivered to Lisa Kelly’s house. Meals with 1 entree and 2 sides start at $25. They have Lisa’s address, you just have to mention what day you’d like the meal delivered.

Laser Keychain

Not sure how this account is set up, but you can still buy a Clusterfook laser-engraved keychain. Thanks to Pocket Queen for finding this link.

    For anybody who is questioning the purchase of the keychain, I just received mine last week and it is really nice. High quality materials, well made, and just generally a nice item to have that supports a good cause.
