Help Tom over the hump

Comrades and friends: on August 16th I fell at work, injuring my neck and knee. Since that time, I have been mostly out of work. Although this is what is called an L & I claim, I will only receive part of my lost wages next month. In the meantime, my income so far for this month is almost nothing.  I will hopefully return to work late next week, and can start earning again, but in the meantime I am in great financial difficulty. 

I don't need a lot, just enough to get by the rest of this month. You have shown great generosity to me in the past, and I greatly appreciate it. If you could help me out one more time, I would be grateful beyond words.

Thanks in advance for anything you can spare....

Tom Barnard
