what if god were one of us... just a stranger on the bus, trying to make his way home.

Posting this for mathnerd , a friend of tsukara , who is a student from Germany, living in the States while she gets her MSc in differential geometry. However, she has several chronic illnesses and pain conditions that are preventing her from continuing as a student, which means she loses her medical insurance. She has already spent all the money available to her through loans on medical expenses, and if she can get home to Germany she can receive treatment from the health system there, but after all her medical bills she can't even pay for a plane flight. She needs $600. If you could, go and read her journal, offer her some encouragement in what is undoubtedly a very difficult time for her, and consider helping her get home.

This is something that I sympathize with a lot, having a chronic pain condition of my own; I know how difficult it is to simply get through a day and do half the things normal people do, let alone managing the medical costs of medicines and going to many different specialists, and being stuck in a foreign country while going through all this just sucks even more (especially a country that has so many limitations on what can be done for the health of those who are not privileged or healthy enough to afford their own care.)

Thanks, guys. Repost if you can, I'd appreciate it and mathnerd would too.
