Pay Katie's Medical Bills!

Our dear friend Katie O' Dea has been in the hospital for weeks now due to pancreatitis, which flared up after she had to have her gallbladder removed. Despite the weeks of no food/water, boredom of lying in a hospital bed, and now suffering the great indignity of having ESPN's picture on the TV cut out during the World Cup, Katie has borne all of it like a champ. 
While insurance is fortunately covering most of the expense, Katie will still be saddled with more out-of-pocket expenses than she needs to worry about right now. Several of her friends thought we would put out a call for donations to see if we could help out! Katie has always been a kind and supportive friend for all of us--let's return the favor!
If you are able to contribute, we greatly appreciate it. Please feel free to leave messages of support as well. If you can't contribute financially, a kind word is greatly appreciated! Thanks to all our contributors in advance, and let's get some bills paid!
