She has set up a charity on GiveMeaning.com to try to raise the funds to support the continued operation of the clinic. The charity needs a certain number of votes to get the project supported, so if you feel so inspired head over to her project and add your vote in support.

GiveMeaning.com is the brainchild of Vancouver-based philanthropist Tom Williams, who I met a couple of years ago at Web Of Change. He gave a few demos of the site at the conference, but Josie’s charity is the first time that I’ve had the chance to use it. It’s nice to see people using ASP.NET for a good cause :)
