Meggy has always been the type to help others quietly, without asking for anything in return. She has dedicated her life to helping neurodivergent people struggling with finding home and community. She's donated personally to people who just needed a meal late at night. She's spent hours on the phone talking people down from self-harm. She's dedicated her life to what she sees as a "mission" to help the less fortunate and especially those who are struggling with autism or financial independence.

Unfortunately, due to faulty wiring, an electrical fire broke out not only in Meggy's home but also in the Church of Meta’s 508(c)(1)(A) administrative offices, and destroyed nearly everything. Laptops, servers, furniture, monitors, crucial paperwork.. most of the bedroom was burned. 

Meggy's home had no fire alarms or carbon monoxide detectors; it's a miracle she is still alive.

Unfortunately, Meggy lost her closest companion, Casey, who was her emotional support cat when he tragically perished from smoke inhalation in the fire. Meggy did not wake up to the sounds of alarms because there were no alarms. It's a miracle that she is still alive and with us today. But she needs our help now more than ever.

Meggy would never go out and ask for help; that's why the Church of Meta and her friends, the ones she's so selflessly been there for online on Discord and email, those same friends are the ones helping put this together for her. So please, even just the smallest donation will go a long way for Meggy.

Anything will help as she is still recovering from 2nd-degree burns on her hands and is frequenting trips to the Burn Unit while currently unhoused and seeking shelter in an already difficult life event situation. 

Now it's our turn to help her.
