One of our DU members who is homeless was persuaded to put up a [View all]

GoFundMe page a couple of days ago to get some much needed cash to pay for his car registration (due soon) and a few other cash needs.

His goal is a modest $500, and DU has stepped up to get him to $440--but he is still $60 short of his goal. Since the GFM site takes some of the cash off the top as a fee, being short that much is probably being short more than that much.

Since he is so close to his needed amount, I am posting his GFM page link again, so that any DUers who want to help him will be able to find the page easily.
