This is a message to Coni's friends. I'm not really anonymous; my name is Susan

I have only been following Coni's blog for a couple of months, but read it from the beginning (actually like a novel). Our dear friend Coni has amused and amazed us for years. Her writing shows her heart, her life and her loves (stitching, Stewey and Jeffrey Dean Morgan). 

Now it is our turn to support her. Most of us are virtual friends who can't pop over to help Coni pack, drive her to appointments, or bring her a pie. But we can spare something to help with the medical expenses, healthy food, and tempting threads and fabrics for therapeutic stitching via a "YouCaring" fundraiser. 

You can donate the cost of an extra coffee (or vat of Diet Coke), or instead of adding to your stash of patterns, threads and fabrics. You just need a credit card or PayPal account. And you can donate from any country (I am in Canada).

I checked with Coni before I started this and it was my idea. I am sure she would never have asked us for help. But friends help friends!

All the funds go to her (except for the payment processing fees). 
https://www.youcaring.com/conirich-813248 Please note that although the site adds a default contribution to YouCaring, you can reverse this.

Please give what feels good and support our Spinster Stitcher. I am just another stitcher; the only thing I am getting out of this is how good it feels to reach out to a friend.

    That's what it is all about, but especially when the Angel
    needing a lift is someone like our Coni...don't think you
    have forgotten how to fly, just a bit of jet lag from your
    recent flights.... you will bounce back.... with you all the way.....

    You have a lot of people who care. Everyone needs to be carried at some point. Always thinking good thoughts for you.

    Maybe we need to stitch this on a pillow...

    We're all out here, Coni, and maybe YOU are the angel who is lifting US today! Hang in there, sweetie.

    Nice idea. How about a place where we can tempt Coni with some gently used charts and perhaps threads to go with. We wold only send what she picks out. Also a way to send care packages (non-stitching)- who doesn't love getting something in the mail. Let me know if you need help with anything. I suspect that I live in the town where she will have her transplant - I spent many a day/week there with my mom and her kidney issues.
