HELLO EVERYONE!!
We are currently experiencing a waterfall of information, requests, and suggestions.
Thank you for all the action that is taking place out there, around the world.
1. Medical Queries:
Hollis is now at Apollo Hospital in Chennai, near an airstrip.
She was transferred because JIPMER was not providing the best of the best. This hospital was suggested by a contact that is living in Chennai and has been helping on the ground.
The urgency to move Hollis to Stanford is rooted in the belief that she will be getting world class care. Some of you have expressed concern about her moving in her condition now, and that there are world class hospitals in India. She is staying at Apollo until further notice, seeing as moving her again is a questionable activity. The family is waiting for her to further stabilize before she moves again.
Her cousin, Jill has set up another blogspot with her medical status more clearly defined than the information I have been able to get.

2. Air Ambulance Help:
We have had many people out there give some great suggestions.
Jill is the Air Ambulance contact. She has been entertaining all of the suggestions people have found. If you would like to send her valid information on flights and aid for the flights, she has asked me to forward those emails to her. again my email is elizastrack (AT) gmail (DOT) com.
In the subject line, please write "medical queries/help" or "air ambulance help" so I can weed the emails out.
-We have received a few nurse volunteers, pending clearance. The rules surrounding Air Ambulances is that the doctors have to be trained in the pressurized environments. They need to already be air ambulance doctors. There is usually two doctors and two pilots on these flights. If it is possible to volunteer for this service, then we would love the volunteers. We are in a holding pattern with that.
-A few suggestions out there have been: Military medical flights. Canadian medical flights. Chloe's father does flights usually to Africa but might be able to make an exception. Shannon Palermo has a friend in NY who has a friend who does those flight regularly to India. A nurse from Seattle said she does those flights with another company but would volunteer if she could.
I know there have been more, but this is what I can remember off the top of my head.
I am receiving two emails a minute now and it is hard to keep on top of this. We are working on teams to siphon the information so you don't feel like we are ignoring you.
We know it is hard to communicate with this website. We are trying to do the best possible.
Harrison sent me the contact info for a couple of website designers that might be able to throw a better one together. If you are them and reading this, do it!
3. Donations and Fundraisers:
A BIG THANK YOU TO ALL THE DONATIONS!
Everyday we seem to double the money coming in. We are currently getting 8 donations every 10 minutes.
THAT IS INCREDIBLE!!!!
As of this moment, from this site only, we have raised....
drumroll....................
$17,500!!!!!!!
Our Goal is:
$200,000
This shows that our lovely lady, the dancer, the doer, the maker, the muse, HOLLIS, has touched the lives of SO MANY PEOPLE!
We are currently putting together a few benefits.
-There is a medium sized one at The Caretakers which originally was a record release show by Jonah Th'Mole, but he has decided to donate proceeds to the cause. I posted a flier earlier on this site. The venue isn't very large, so come early if you are plaaning to come.
-We are organizing a larger show that is slated for a month or so from now at a BIG venue that can have BIG acts.
If you want to help with this, we are soliciting acts, silent auction items, and volunteers. We have been offered Flux http://www.flux53.com/ for a large scale benefit in Oakland. We also need a big venue for a San Francisco. Xian has a great hookup for glossy fliers with 5,000 for $150 so if we can put together something, we could make some fliers that are blingin'
I am creating a fundraiser comittee, so if you want to help take some of my load, send me an email with "fundraiser comittee" in the subject. elizastrack (AT) gmail (dot) com.
Joe Lewis has offered his place for some smaller events, and so anyone who would like to put something like that together, I would love it.
I hope this answers some of your questions. I am trying to stay on top of it.
Thanks and have a great day,
Eliza

LOVE AND LIGHT ARE RAMPANT IN THESE PARTS.
WE'RE LOOKING TO CONQUER.
The best biproduct is a firm notion that our community is there for us shall a sheep run astray from the fold.
Our family is strong and patchwork, but geared on positive living, and therefore surrounds itself in that light. And it is easy to give it off. And it feels good to receive.
It seems like we are all committed to get this financial boat afloat.
We need investor sails.
"Does anyone know Bill Gates?" -Karen, Harrison's Mom.
We need high profile persons to take up this cause as something to Care Bear Stare.
Get people to rep a ducket.
I dare you to out-bid.
Blogging the donation button. Let's see 30 go to 100.
All from the comfort of your coffee shop after the bagel is gone.
We have received some Doctor's information to get some second opinions of the time table until it is safe to move Hollis to her princess palace where she'll recuperate riding horses and all of a sudden getting body memory of the old Hollis ruling it and wanting to take it to the new level.
She is the reason why The Derailleurs were called, for better or worse, "The Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders of Bike Dance,"-Ben Sauce Applebaum, Here Comes A Big Black Cloud.
If you don't believe me, she choreographed most of our dances.

That's all.
I am forgetting things, but let's remember this is all going so fast and it's time to join the dance party.
Keep on fightin' and you do what you want.
Were here if you need us, sistah, and wifey.
Don't ya know.
