<div>Katharine "Kit" Kerr, long-time author of SF&amp;F, has been wielding her pen for over four decades, writing stories that challenge, inspire and entertain readers worldwide. Throughout it all, she’s stayed the course, honed her craft, been fortunate to live long enough to see her dreams come true. What she didn’t imagine was the confluence of things that have impacted her ability to write. If I had a magic wand, I’d give her new knees, a state-of-the-art laptop and pay off the bill from the IRS ( $7,500!!! ). Instead we have pandemics, politics, a settlement against AI with delayed and unknown payouts. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I am here, hat in hand, to ask for help with real-time goals: Fifteen hundred for a power lift recliner with wireless charger and rechargeable backup battery. Writing is hard when your knees can’t get you in and out of the writing chair with ease, and rolling power outages are part of life in the U.S. Additional funds to pay down the IRS and credit card debts, and possibly replace her laptop.
</div>

</div>
<div>How can you help?
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>* Boost the signal. Get the word out: We can help Kit continue to do what she loves!
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>* Share the GoFundMe link wherever you can - FaceBook, Instagram, BlueSky, Threads, word of mouth.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>* Write a review of her books.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>* Donate $$
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>For those not familiar with her writing, you are in for a treat. From Haze and Zyon to Polar City Blues, the Deverry series and many essays and interviews, Kit Kerr is worth a read.
