Thanks to a friend for passing on the GoFundMe for Kimmy and her family:
“Kimmy, Timmy, and their kids need our help.
A year and some change ago, Kimmy was diagnosed with breast cancer. She underwent a comprehensive treatment regime, but still did a better job of keeping up with our friend’s group workouts than any of the rest of us, doing an increasing number of pushups and burpees without ever using fatigue from chemo as the viable excuse that it would have been. Kimmy beat the cancer, and went back for every checkup and followup, every exam and scan, to make sure she was still doing well. And she was. Until she wasn’t. Kimmy’s cancer came back in a rare and aggressive way. She dealt with it quickly and responsibly, and is fighting the good fight.
Thank you for your consideration, and for anything that you’re able to contribute to this effort. Supporting our dear friends and their family during their time of turmoil and need is the most important thing we can think to ask anyone to contribute.”
“Dear PoPville,

“Justice 4 Jayz” via GoFundMe
“Dear PoPville,
Wanted to pass along a fundraiser for a previous coworker of mine. Her 13 year old son was shot and killed last week in Hillcrest Heights (PG County) as he was outside their house raking leaves. The family is asking for donations to help with legal expenses to hopefully find the perpetrator and bring them to justice. Absolutely heartbreaking.”
The fundraiser says:
“Greetings to all,
On the evening of November 8th 2022, our son Jayz was senselessly shot in the head while raking leaves in our front yard. Our Jayz is a loving gentle child. His only squabbles are with his little sister Aaliyah over video games. (more…)
