Need to help my employee

 I own a restaurant in Lakeport, California.  One of my waitresses (21
yo) got married this summer to her 28 yo fiance.  He just got diagnosed
with 4th stage lymphoma cancer.  It's going to take about 6 months
before Federal disability starts.  In the meantime, they are trying to
live on what she makes.  We are going to run a fund raiser for her next
month.  I wonder if anyone knows of any other way we can find funds to
help her support them?  Please send your suggestions to me at
frednmart@mchsi.com.  Or snail mail to me at Ashley's Restaurant, 155
N. Main St, Lakeport CA 95453.

SDI benefits can be paid only after you meet all of the following requirements:

    * You must have earned at least $300 from which SDI deductions were withheld
during a previous period (see "YOUR BENEFIT AMOUNTS" in next column).
    * You must be under the care and treatment of a licensed doctor or
accredited religious practitioner during the first eight days of your
disability. (The beginning date of a claim can be adjusted to meet this
requirement.) You must remain under care and treatment to continue receiving
benefits.
    * You must complete and mail a claim form within 49 days of the date you
became disabled or you may lose benefits.
    * Your doctor must complete the medical certification of your disability. A
licensed midwife, nurse-midwife, or nurse practitioner may complete the medical
certification for disabilities related to normal pregnancy or childbirth. (If
you are under the care of a religious practitioner, request a "Practitioner's
Certificate," DE 2502, from the SDI office. Certification by a religious
practitioner is acceptable only if the practitioner has been accredited by
Employment Development Department.)
