Dear friends of melvin (known in the real world as Grant Low)...
melvin (one of a group of fabulous bloggers from the old dKos days of unity fighting BushCo) needs our help and I'm hoping we can raise $3,500 for him. His paypal account is: paypal.me/GrantLow. It is fee-free if you send money from your bank account; there is a fee to use debit/credit card.
Here's the story:
Grant had cellulitis (of which he was unaware) in his leg for a while – maybe weeks – when it became acute and rapidly went into his arm and his whole body went septic. It was, he said, serious enough that doctors thought it might have reached the bone, meaning amputation. Thankfully, that didn’t happen.
He has been transferred from the hospital to a small place in which he can recover and receive therapy (he says he is making progress!!!). You can send him mail at Grant Low c/o Serenity Cove, 4402 S Underwood Ct, Kennewick WA 99337.
Grant said his immediate need is to "stay with a plan and place that is working one more month as opposed to god only knows if I have leave, but not good. That is the real need for $$."
It's time for some karma, baby. Grant (he'll always be melvin to me) has helped and nourished his share of those in need. And he's inspired so many of us with his environmental writing and his passion... laced with his own brand of curmudgeon. a little bit from all of us will go a long way.
thanks for your help... pfiore8
again, his account is: paypal.me/GrantLow
