*UPDATE* I will be offering my acoustic/ electric ovation guitar for the first person to donate $125. Expect the offer to go live sometime later this evening.
I have also added a gamer special where those who donate $50 will be able to receive a game of their choice valued up to $60. Currently only the first 3 people who donate will be eligible, but I'm looking for other means of getting more games for people.
As of right now, both these rewards will be delivered no later than December 31,2013. Hope you'll forgive that because I'm going to be the one paying for this bit in the end x_x. You can imagine right now, with all this going on I'm pretty damn broke.
If you have suggestions for any other incentives, do let me know. My brain is sort of fried.
No getting annoyed. This will be the last post I put up here regarding the matter (though I'll be updating it periodically). But there are some updates I thought you guys ought to be made aware of. If you have not read what this is about as yet, please click here.
For those of you that are already familiar with the circumstances, here are some updates.
- She has been searching for a lawyer and has recently found one. A few of them have tried underhanded scare-tactics, essentially saying if she did not hire them, she would go to jail. Needless to say, this was very upsetting to her. Just imagine what how much mental torture she has put herself through lately over the thought. Imagine how you'd feel if your loved one had to deal with such a thing and the lengths you'd go to...
- The lawyer that she did find is a good one. He even lowered his price due to her case (Do get started, instead of initially requiring $750, he told her $500 by Sept. 9 is enough to get started). He was the only lawyer who assured her that, no matter what, there was no way she would go to jail. But, he was also confident enough to assure her, that if he is put on the case, he'd very likely make them all disappear. His reviews can be found here. I've already spoken to him myself. He is extremely knowledgeable.
- A few friends and I have started passing out flyers in several states including Oregon, Maryland, and New York (yes, I'm insanely serious about all of this).
- As of now, due to the length of processing, we have an extremely small window of time. We need to hit $500 by tomorrow to get the lawyer money in time for the hearing. Even that is cutting it extremely close. We only have $31, though I expect that number to rise soon.
- I will be thinking of incentives to offer in the coming days, specifically targeted towards you all. Maybe some game prizes or something...
- Below is a widget code that you can use on your profile page if you'd like to support and spread the word on the site.

It looks like this:
Please help if you can. It can be in the form of a monetary donation or simply your ability to spread the word. This is a girl who was wrongly accused and abused by police officers. The police even have a history of having abused her in the past (which was even caught on film). She doesn't deserve to be abused again. Nobody does, and especially not from those who have sworn to "serve and protect."

P.S. I hope you'll forgive me again for writing about something completely unrelated to gaming. But, as of now, this is the only thing on my mind. When all this is taken care of, I will be sure to post up a few proper blogs. But, for the time being, I really can't focus on anything else.
