Help furloughed employees during gov't shutdown

Here is the impact of the current government shutdown: Through no fault of their own, 800,000 federal workers are either on the job without pay or have been furloughed (as in stay home without pay).

This GoFundMe campaign is being created to help those in need.  Some federal workers may not be able to pay their January rent or buy groceries soon. I hope to raise $25,000 and help 100 families (with $250 checks).
