The Countess is in dire straits

By · Tuesday, May 30th, 2006 · 2 Comments »

Trish Wilson (the Countess) and her husband have run into severe financial difficulties and could use a hand. Here’s a post over at Trish’s blog explaining what’s happened: Help Us! Trish And Bill Are In Trouble!!

They’re going to be evicted from their home if they can’t scrape a little money together soon. Trish has already hit up family and friends, and now has no choice but to reach out to the blogging community. Please help if you can.

    This comment comes from Trish, who is having trouble commenting on the blog (error message):

    “Thanks so much for the post, Violet. Boy, do I need an absinthe party right about now!

    “I think we’ve staved off eviction for the time being. At least we’re almost safe for May. We have some money to give to the landlady today. I and the landlady are friends. We have a lot in common. She wants to work with us.

    “She was the first woman to finish the Boston Marathon in the 1960s. I wrote an article about her for an issue of Sojourner, when that mag was still around.

    “I’d like to thank everyone who has helped us so far, and written to us to give us support. I knew that the blogosphere was like a nice neighborhood.

    “That’s one thing I like about bloggers – they’re very nice people.”
