I just visited the very sweet lady that I’m attempting to help by raising money; and she is not doing as well today as she should be.  The truly frustrating aspect about this whole affair - there are no funds to help someone in her situation and I haven’t been able to raise the first cent.  I realize this blog isn’t necessarily the right outlet to support the effort, but I receive enough readers each day that there should be some sort of progress.  I urge you to consider the plight of this lady and the fact that if she does not receive medical attention her quality of life will diminish until the inevitable conclusion.  I can’t do it alone.  Please, please help me in this one small fight to save someone’s life.  

Also, if you have any suggestions that might heighten awareness of this issue, I’m open to any feedback. When I have completed work on the Crimson Foundation website, all information will be moved to that site. Perhaps then, someone will stand up and take notice.  Finally, I will be contacting some people I know within the tech community to encourage them to at least make mention of this effort either on their Podcasts or their blogs.  If we’re lucky we can get the support of people like Cali Lewis of the GeekBrief podcast and others like her who sincerely care about people.
