A bunch of you know my friend Soren, aka Scraps, and know that he is recovering from a stroke. While he is doing a lot better than he was six months ago, he isn't well enough to work. He's getting Medicaid, and not much beyond that in the way of benefits.
I am therefore putting on my costume as a trustee of the Scraps Reassembly Trust, and posting a Paypal donation button. The trust is for legal purposes, so the donations go for Soren's life expenses rather than to replace the Medicaid money; it's not a charity in any official sense, nor is it tax-deductible. If you're a friend of his and want to help out, cool. If not, also cool: it's not as though you don't have other good things to do with your money.
I'm posting this once and once only; whether or not you give, there will be no follow-up letters. Nor is this a pledge drive, so no tote bags or other free gifts. (OK, if you really want a tote bag, I have a few extras, the only trick being finding a suitable free weekend for you to come pick one up. This offer is not dependent on whether you donate, to this or anything else; is not valid outside the Solar System; and will not be repeated unless someone takes me up on it.)
