In a Nutshell

Donations cover medical bills for a woman who has experienced stillbirth; those who make a $70 donation receive tickets to a benefit event

The Fine Print

The Issue: Loss of Infants by Stillbirth

Stillbirth, which occurs in about 1 in 160 pregnancies, is the intrauterine death and subsequent delivery of an infant after 20 completed weeks of gestation, according to the American Pregnancy Association. Common causes of stillbirths include placental problems, bacterial infections, and umbilical-cord accidents, but the cause cannot always be determined.

The Campaign: Covering Medical Bills for Still-Birth

If this Grassroots campaign raises $500, then Hayden's Helping Hands can cover the medical bill for a woman who has experienced a stillbirth, with funds paid directly to the billing hospital. Each additional $10 donation will be used to contribute to a medical bill for another family who's experienced a stillbirth. Those who make a $70 donation to this campaign will receive two tickets to the second annual Hands on Hope benefit auction, held at Uptown Billiards Club on September 29.

Hayden's Helping Hands

After their daughter, Hayden, was stillborn at 32 weeks of gestation in 2010, Rebekka and Randy Hauskin's hospital bills served as a painful reminder of their loss. As a result, they decided that they wanted to help other families dealing with this type of tragedy, and in memory of their daughter, created the Oregon-based nonprofit Hayden's Helping Hands. The foundation helps Oregonians after the birth of a stillborn baby by paying for a portion or all of their hospital delivery expenses, so they can focus on healing rather than financial burdens. The amount of financial assistance is determined by the foundation on a case-by-case basis, and all payments are made directly to the medical facility.

The Groupon Guide to: Creative Ways to Quit

Jobs are for work-loving stiffs who worship the gods of the nine-to-five clock. Throw off the shackles of gainful employment with these creative ways to end your job:

  • If you work at a place with a counter, hop over it and pretend to be a customer. When you get to the front of the line, order the I Quit! sandwich/movie ticket/bank account.

  • Send your boss an email telling him or her to meet you in the break room. When he or she shows up, be sawing the head off of an effigy you made of your work self.

  • Leave a voicemail on the phone of each of your coworkers giving them a really personal compliment. They'll know that you're being too familiar for someone who could still be considered a colleague.

  • If you work somewhere that has customers, hold them close and tell them you'll miss them. Tell them the things that have been in your heart this whole time that you couldn't express because of the unspoken boundaries between worker and customer. Let them know that though they will not see ever you in the future, you will live on in their brains like a bad brain fungus.

  • If you're a famous movie actor, just sprinkle the letters from the words "I quit" throughout the words of the dialogue in your movie.

How can I break free from being gainfully employed?
