Friends of Jessica Osborne — who was struck by a car on Rosa Parks Way in North Portland and left for dead on April 3 — have planned a benefit show to raise money for her medical bills.
The collision left Osborne in the hospital with three cracked vertebrae, collapsed lungs, scrapes and bruses, and a ruptured spleen (that was later removed). The injuries will keep her out of work for eight weeks and the hospital bill is close to $100,000.
Friends have lined up bands (Stag Bitten, Play/Start, Star Kaleider, and others) and a prize raffle to help raise money.

I 2nd the 'how do we contribute from afar'. I don't even live in Oregon- I just love the blog. Maybe Paypal through this site?

I could do that if needed and link to her paypal info.
Just let me know.

Her friends have set up a charity fund through Wells Fargo. You can walk into any Wells Fargo and ask to make a donation to the Help Jess Osborne Fund and donate directly. That way it is tax free, whereas Paypal taxes anything over $500 a month.

Could somebody provide a postal address (to who's attention, payable to whom) for the Help Jess Osborne Fund?
