New Tally on the FUNdraiser-ometer
News is in from Portland with the Sprockettes organizing a FUNdraiser with the band Japanther.
New York is getting something together.
If you want to organize a Bay Area Fundraiser, send me and email with "fundraiser committee" on the subject. elizastrack (AT) gmail(dot) com.
DO YOU WANT TO KNOW HOW MUCH WE HAVE RAISED?????
Hold your breath:
drum roll >>>>>>>>>>>
$20,000!!!!
We are one tenth of the way there!
Thank you to all 355 people who have donated since I checked my email. I am most certain the number will be bigger as soon as I can finish this post.
I responded to the first hundred donations, but I am not able to personally thank each of you.
SO, A BIG THANK YOU TO YOU 355 people!!!!!
(insert standing ovation here.)
According to Harrison's mother, the most Golden Hearted Lady who got Hollis accepted into Stanford's arms, the best thing would be to get her to Stanford so they can work their state-of-the-art magic on her and her extreme condition. So as soon as we can get the money together, she is coming home to us.
We just set up a joint checking account to filter the money into so if we reach our goal, she is on that airplane with little red tape.
I also don't want to forget all the people who are doing remote healing on our lovely lady.
Thank you for organizing that, and hopefully we can see some changes.
I heard Alberto Villoldo speak at a conference and I wanted to share his insight.
He had just completed a doctorate, and he was one of the first Americans to spend much time with the Inca in their homeland. He was talking about the chaos theory and how cool it was. He said, "You know, a butterfly flaps his wings here and a tsunami happens around the world." The Incan shaman thought that was very insightful, and then added, "Show me how this works." Uhhh, Dr. Villoldo had no idea how to do this, because it was a theory. According to the Inca, time is not before, after, the day after, or tomorrow. Time is happening all at once. The Incan shaman said, "I can show you that theory. I can heal someone on the other side of the earth."
I feel this is very poigniant because I am getting an email a minute, many people who have never met Hollis, but want to do something. They have been filled with the spirit of charity for someone who obviously inspired us all to DO IT BETTER. This is worth the world's weight in gold.

Teams for Better Organization
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
