“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.
