my friend blue is in south america for the summer. well, for five months, total. she walked into work one day and was told her company was bankrupt and bye-bye, have a nice day.

so she looked at her bank account, looked at a map, and went off for some adventure. she’s been sending email to everyone with updates about the sexy tango clubs she went to in buenos aires, climbing up steep and treacherous paths in the andes, superpancos, and other adventures.

her last email, though, was an admittance of not everything going right. her pack was stolen. her pack, with almost everything she had, is gone. there’s no need to go into detail; we’ve all had our moments of “yup, i knew i shouldn’t have done THAT.”

now what she needs is some help, specifically the kind that can be exchanged for goods. if any of you have even just a few dollars to spare, please send me an email at sparkle at jorah dot o-r-g. not dot com. i’ll reply with the address for her paypal account and you can donate whatever you feel you can right now. every little bit will help, really.

thanks all you wonderful readers!

EDIT: blue sends her thanks to all y’all who helped. she says she’s got enough to recover now and is looking forward to the rest of her trip. i thank you all, too, for stepping up and being helpy the way i know you love to be.
