PNW friends -- help/ideas/etc.?

[serene]

A longtime net.friend of mine (ten years or so, I guess it's been) is in dire need of some resources/help/space in or near Port Angeles, WA. Her dysfunctional family has kicked her out (along with her husband and two small children) two weeks before her move to a new situation four hours away, and she has two weeks left on her notice at her job. She's too conscientious about her job to bail on it, but has no idea how she will get by for this two weeks. She's got three dollars in the bank, so a cheap hotel isn't an option. I have no money (literally none) right now. Anyone have any ideas for this friend? If so, I can put you in contact with her, or you can leave comments here and she'll see them (or I'll relay them to her after she loses her net access).

I copied and pasted your message into an email to some friends in Washington. If they respond, I will let you know right away. I wish I could do more.

Thank you!

Obviously I can't give her a place to stay, but is there a relatively quick way for me to get some money to her?

Let me ask. Thanks!

Wow. I've been offline for over a week so I'm reading backwards. The WomBATs kept me afloat when I was on the brink of homelessness. I can't contribute much but am glad to 'pay it forward.'

Yeah. Seems like someone in my circle is always in desperate straits. Fortunately, it's not always the same someones.
