Thank you to all who have helped and shared. Unfortunately, the situation is no less dire: my friend has no spending money and continues to be hounded by the collectors. While donations thus far have indeed helped, most have gone to food and other necessities, meaning it will take a concerted push to improve things.
Once again, please spare only what you can, and regardless of how much, spread word to whomever you can think to reach.
