melvin needs our help . . .

Dear friends of Grant (aka melvin)...

Grant 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 a small place in which to 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

The access to Grant's account is via the Web at: https://www.paypal.me/GrantLow . Paypal doesn't make this as clear as it could. If you logon to the main Paypal site first, your logon should carry over.

of a few friends like peef, I really would have given up. That bad. But great improvement with therapy.

Bum keyboard limits me. But consider: a diagnosis citing, among many other things, "metabolic encephalopathy"; an ongoing drug regimen including several narcotics. Big medicine considers that the perfect time to bombard one with detailed questions AND to require the signing of all sorts of supposedly binding documents.

Hi all!

@melvin Best wishes for your recovery. As for the medical profiteers, they are one of the groups that elicit actual hatred from me, for the very reasons you describe.

There are still some actual human beings working within that system, with motives other than greed, thank goodness. They haven't all been rooted out.
