I hope Steve won't mind me posting this here, but given my impressions of him, this sounds like something he'd approve of.

My sister-in-law has a friend with a brain tumor.  She's a young college student named Tracy Russo, majoring in Education, and did not get health insurance.  Although she is in the care of a local neurologist, the physician wants her to get an operation done in Pittsburgh, totaling 130,000 dollars.

Although the local community has poured support in, Tracy is still well short of the funds needed for this procedure.  I would ask that you spread the word about her donation site.  Let's see if we can harness human decency and help this young woman out.

Thanks so much for your time.

Maybe we could get someone to make a promo for some podcasts about this.  Good way to get the info around.
