Please Help



Recently, my dear friend Adam told me some devastating news. His 3 year old daughter, Indigo, was flown to Denver for emergency surgery to remove a stage 2 Wilms Tumor on her left kidney. The surgeons had to take her kidney, too, as it was destroyed by the tumor. As you can imagine the costs associated with cancer treatment are not cheap, and unfortunately, these costs will not be covered by Indigo's insurance. Right now, Adam and his wife Carri are looking at owing well over $200,000 to cover Indigo's treatments.

Right now, the Bodymod.org family is hosting a fundraiser to help cover the astronomical costs that this wonderful family is facing. I know that it is the holidays and that money is tight for everyone, but Indigo and her family need our help. Even if you could just spare $5, it would help. Think about it, $5 is a drink at Starbucks or this week's issue of People magazine. If you can donate please click on the "Help Indigo" banner at the top of this post or go to www.helpindigo.com. From there, you can read Indigo's story and donate via Paypal with your credit or debit card. If you would prefer to send a check or money order, you can either contact me or contact Bodymod.org's administrator Adam Callen (adam@bodymod.org) to find out how that can be done. 100% of all donations received will be given directly to Adam, Carri & Indigo.

We all have a special child in our lives, whether they are our child, a grandchild, a niece or nephew, or just someone special to us that we could not imagine living without. Please help us help Indigo.

So I've Been Slacking...

It's been ages since I updated here! School's moving right along, some classes better/happier than others. I'm absolutely LOVING my photo class. I can tell that I'm going to just LIVE in the darkroom this semester. I developed my first roll of film last week, and I printed my first contact sheet and 8x10 enlargements today. So freakin' cool! I love it! Hunter & I are making it on our own while Matt is at his conference in Las Vegas. It was so cute to watch Matt give Hunter the "now you're the man of the house" speech before he left. Matt was worried to leave us, but it's working out. We can't wait until he gets home though! I'll find some new music for y'all in a bit!
