Nick -
Thanks for the link. Ohori's is not my goto, but I'm 100% with the
spirit. I have had no traction on trying to extend this kind of help TO
my regular go-tos. I am of a mind that at the very least, my weekly
*tip* budget could go straight into the same pockets it used to with no
harm to me... and as you point out, my entire luxury food/services
budget could go that way as well.
I'll check for other go-fund-me's in SFe and would love to hear from
others who have discovered similar to yours here.
