Recently I read some very sad news regarding a girl I know from the livejournal lolita community. I've met Mary briefly before and was completely charmed by her sweet nature.

She just lost her younger brother Bob in a tragic accident, only to wake the next morning to find herself issued with a foreclosure notice on her house.

You can donate or get these fundraiser items here: [link]

These special limited items have have been designed and created in memory of her brother, Bob Moos, and 100% of this money will go to the Moos family to help them save their house. If these items don't suit your style, please consider donating to them directly using the donate button at the bottom of the "special" page.

I admit I don't know Mary very well, but I want to do anything I can to help. I myself lost my little sister to cancer when I was younger- and like Bob, my youngest brother has autism. Her story really hit a soft spot with me, and I really hope you'll help me raise some money for her family. With everything they must be going through right now, the last thing they need is to lose their home.

There are 10 of each design available for $20 each. Every penny is going to Mary, and if everything sells that will add up to $800. In the scheme of things it isn't much - but every bit helps.

Mary's sister has started a facebook for the fund (which they have named " race to raise the roof") and you can join it here: [link]


Thanks everyone.
