A Novel Idea

Hi and thank you for your time. My self and others are trying to raise money for our dear friend who has recently fallen on hard times. She will be losing her source of income when her contract ends with her current job in just a few days. At that time she will lose the ability to run her independently owned and run tea company. The goal of this fundraiser is to get her a new computer, to replace the one she needs to return, that will be able to handle any of the software she needs to run her business as well as one piece of software that she'll need as well to continue this endeavor.
A bit about her. She is driven to succeed and always has a bright outlook on a given situation. Even with this issue and the rest of the world falling on her head she's managed to keep a smile on her face and isn't giving up.
We're hoping to get the money together for her within two weeks if at all possible. If you're not able to donate I understand and would appreciate if you could just spread the word about this campaign.
