Colorado DUers please help! A dear friend has been placed under guardianship

and has been moved into a nursing home against her wishes. And they've even obtained a restraining order against her dad, who is also her caregiver!

She is Autistic and nonverbal. In no way, shape or form is she incompetent, however; she holds a degree from DU (your DU ), for Chrissakes! How do we get her out of there?!

Kick in to the DU tip jar?

This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.

As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
