One of our DU members who is homeless was persuaded to put up a

[tblue37]

GoFundMe page a couple of days ago to get some much needed cash to pay for his car registration (due soon) and a few other cash needs.

His goal is a modest $500, and DU has stepped up to get him to $440--but he is still $60 short of his goal. Since the GFM site takes some of the cash off the top as a fee, being short that much is probably being short more than that much.

Since he is so close to his needed amount, I am posting his GFM page link again, so that any DUers who want to help him will be able to find the page easily.

8. Some generous soul just gave $100!

But it would be great if more people contribute. A modest additional financial cushion of a few hundred dollars, and the peace of mind that would give, would be a great kindness.

11. I am about to give.

I don't know the guy. I wish there was a better way of getting money to those in need.

12. I gave but I hope it is well spent. I feel safer at DU giving money, but I worry.
