taharielJust a quick post...
Ive found this thing online (through Neil Gaiman's blog, actually.) This woman is an American who cannot afford the surgery she needs to live but does not qualify for aid, and as I'm sure you know, in America, no money no medicine. She has serious brain problems - malformation and lesions. And so she's trying to do this thing where if enough people download this little text file - it's virus free, I did check - then the download company megaupload will pay her $10,000, which would mean she could have her surgery (she's already getting a 50% discount from her state teaching hospital, but it's not enough.)
Go and have a read of her website here, and see if you want to help. It takes literally two seconds to do. In my books it's worth it. And if she's a scammer? Well, for one thing she's been setting this up for a long time, and I'd rather help a scammer than not help someone who might need two seconds of my time every day to live.
