Charity Auction for Karen Koehler

From Jerrod Balzer:

PLEASE SPREAD THE WORD!

We’ve got some auctions being held to support K.H. Koehler during some very difficult times. Her mother was recently diagnosed with breast cancer and endured a double mastectomy. So far, it has been successful, but lack of decent insurance and sick pay has left her dealing with staggering medical bills. Add to that the annual taxes and other necessities, and the holidays have become quite bleak.

This is a combined effort by several friends and authors to give them some peace of mind this Christmas, even if it’s only a little bit. K.H. Koehler has always been a generous, warm-hearted person, there for anyone who has needed her assistance, and her mother is equally charming, and courageous beyond belief for undergoing such a hardship with so little warning.

These books are in great shape and the majority of them are signed, so they would make excellent gifts for yourself or a collector you may know. Bid knowing that 100% of the proceeds are going straight to two wonderful people who could really use the smile it may bring.

Anyone who would like to make a monetary donation without bidding can send it via PayPal to jerrodbalzer@gmail.com

I’ll pool everything together in the end and get it to her.

From me: Karen is very high up on my list of good people. She’s supportive without question, an amazing writer and a good friend. If you can’t afford to bid or donate directly, please consider buying one of her books (Karen is one of the few authors I’m willing to give a guaranteed good read sticker to, and she’s tried hard to make them available at affordable prices.)
