I've been following Big Country Expat's blog for awhile, and while he is definitely on the right side politically, I do respect his views on most things we have in common, plus he is a good source for some twisted humor when most needed. And working in EMS, some days it is definitely called for.
He's had some issues come up with custody of his grandaughter Adrianna, which I have noted previously, and I've helped out with what I can financially.
Now he's got another unfortunate matter to deal with. His wonderful lovely and bosomy wife Gretchen has been diagnosed with breast cancer, and they don't want to deal with the nasty route of regular medical treatment like chemo and such (and I can empathize with them on that, seeing my maternal grandmother going through that when I was a teen), and so they are pursuing non-traditional but purportedly effective therapies to fight this.
Obviously they need some major moolah for this latest fight.
He has set up another fundraiser on GiveSendGo named Help the Hair Diva! to help get the money together for Gretchen's care. (Personally I would have called it 'Save da Girls!', as I commented on his blog, referencing Gretchen's lovely figure, but that is his prerogative)
Once I get paid tomorrow I'm kicking some money their way what I can spare, and I hope others can do that as well.
