(Sol 27° Virgo, Luna 18° Pisces)
Too bad I didn't think of this a year ago.
Karyn, a twenty-something blonde lady from Brooklyn (wherefrom all the best people come) got herself into a not-unusual scrape for those of us living here in the future: she got way over her head on credit, buying shoes, haircuts, clothes, etc. and woke up one morning to discover herself $20,000 in debt.
So, in the time-honoroed American way, she set up a web site to ask people if they could see their way clear to send her a couple of bucks to help get her problems resolved. She offers nothing in return except gratitude and (possibly) good karma. There is scarcely a picture of her on the site, and the only one I've found shows her cat's face but not her own.
She's collected over ten grand so far. She's considering "passing the site along" to another person in similar straits once her own debt is paid off, if someone should send in a persuasive enough sob story.
This will almost certainly not work more than a few times. But you have to give her points for initiative.
No, I have not sent her any money. But the meme is already spreading... |
