“Dear PoPville,

A friend, not super close, but a lovely person in my general social circle, was recently hospitalized after an accident. She faces surgery and possibly a stay in rehab. Loads of people would like to stay in touch, have updates, help out with whatever.

She certainly doesn’t need to respond individually to 50 emails or texts, so does anyone have a suggestion for how to organize a central point of contact for disparate friends? Not everyone is on Facebook, or Instagram, or whatever, and with different various social circles, not everyone has everyone’s email. Is there some way to do this?

Another tenant from this week’s terrible fire at 11th and W St, NW could use some help. From the GoFundMe:

“Our wonderful nanny, Julia Ruiz, lost everything in a fire when her apartment went up in flames in the early morning of September 11. She and her family were fortunately unharmed, but she’s devastated to have lost her home and everything inside. In the year she’s been with us and caring for our daughter Madison, she’s become our family. We’d be so grateful for any assistance in getting her back on her feet.”


A GoFundMe was put together for the folks who suffered that terrible fire earlier this mroning.

Ed. Note: Cody used to be the GM at Nanny’s and I can vouch is one of the nicest guys in the world.
