North Fork Cares ~ A Baby in Need

Baby Anastina ~ Day 19, weighing 898 grams

Click Here for a Story Update from the Sierra Star article published July 1, 2010

My partner's first grandchild, a girl, Anastina, was born 3 months prematurely this past May 18th in Guam. She urgently needs to be airlifted out of Guam to a higher tech neonatology center than can be found on the island of Guam. There she will receive the proper specialized care that she needs to survive. Her parents have been turned down by two airlines and the US Air Force when they have asked for a special "mercy flight" for the tiny baby. Money is needed for the flight which will cost upwards of $20,000 and also for her urgent and ongoing medical care. Her parents, their families & friends have donated money to help little Anastina, but much more is needed. Government financial aid is also desperately needed, but impossible to get on the island of Guam.

Please watch this news video taped yesterday by our local ABC news station, and pass it along to others. Some of you may have already seen it on last evening's channel 30 ABC news.

Our Western Wild Horses are in Danger

I read this CNN News Blurb this morning and that lead me to the Let 'em Run website and the video you see above by Lacy J. Dalton, Willie Nelson and Snoop Dogg.

The idea that our government would purposely kill healthy beautiful wild horses just to save pasture land for cattle is stupid and saddens me greatly. Our wild horses are part of our western pioneering heritage and belong wild and free on the land. I don't have money or the means to save the horses myself, so I am doing what I can to share their story with as many people as possible. If you can adopt a horse or help them in any way, please do it, and do it soon. Thank you from me and the horses.
