if you can, please take the time to donate to these bail funds in appalachia, or at least reblog. appalachia is a deeply impoverished part of this country and these people could use all the help you can give. this post includes links for cities that may not be in appalachia but another part of the state is. this is by no means comprehensive. if you have any links to funds from these states feel free to reply with a link, especially if they are for virginia, west virginia, or maryland. please do not hesitate to tell me if any of these are fake.
