I think so.... I have a couple of organizations in mind that might be happy to sponsor us in some way, maybe even the L.A. Chinese consulate and local political orgs, especially women's groups, might be willing to help.
I was thinking it might be fun to set it up like a wedding registry... where we'd list out the things we need, including plane tickets, rent, gifts, etc., and have people donate towards a particular need -- sort of make it a game. I'm thinking our utility providers might just put our utilities on hold for the five weeks and not charge us -- that would be generous, I think!
