A DUer is about to become homeless
Without help, John will become homeless. He has no car to live in. Nobody else to turn to.
Here is John's long post from the lounge yesterday that explains everything: https://www.democraticunderground.com/10182278898
His gofundme link: https://www.gofundme.com/f/help-john-mckusick-overcome-health-and-financial-struggles
I do believe John has been honest and upfront with the DU when he asks for help. There is a light at the end of the tunnel. Can we get John to when his benefits should start? It is a lofty goal.
The current Trump administration has made it clear that former resources have dried up by design. Look at the food pantries. Look at utility help programs. Trump gets a kick out of kicking a person down on his or her luck. It's his nature.
It looks like John has only raised $25 since his post went up yesterday. I hope we can do much better than this. Even a small donation adds up.
Please keep this kicked and give it an R, so everyone sees this.
In solidarity,
OS

Everyone donate the price of malaria’s movie theater ticket to John… she might get a Nobel for her generous charity work. 
as Colonel Kurtz said so epically in Apocalypse Now,
THE HORROR, THE HORROR 
Keep up the great work fellow DU'ers! And Steve of course! Well done!
