KREEPYLADY KRISTIN SILENT AUCTION AND RAFFLE:
Kreepylady Kristin. She recently came upon some real rough times, losing her job, massive amounts of surgery from a life threatening condition, and now racked up a HUGE amount of medical bills. Without her insurance, (the company she worked for over 9 years let her go), she is facing a huge uphill battle and struggling to pay off those bills. She has been through months of medical rehab and we are planning on helping her out! She has played a huge role in the Chicago Horror Community and with Horror Society as well, so we have gathered up some great items for the raffle and auction. All proceeds of this raffle and auction will be going directly to her medical bills.
You horror freaks are going to love some of the products we have for you to bid on, and this will be a great help to her and her family as well.
