I will announce the total again after today is over. You understand.

More country-wide fundraiser updates:

This is form Chicago. A burner named Absinthe.

"I heard about Hollis' accident from Clear and read about it on the
internet. I want to help get her home by donating 10% of profits from
my etsy store over the next month.
It's mostly girl stuff. But I'm going to try and get some guy stuff
up in the next week or so.
www.ElvenForestCreations.etsy.com

Featuring tribal clothing inspired by elf and fairy fashion as well as
by fashion in underground communities of artists and travelers.

Buying these clothes supports the sustainability ethic as well as
independant designers. Most materials used are either recycled or
organic fibers. Each fabric is personally selected through various
methods to ensure quality. It's awesome gear. Great for burners and
people interested in unique and handmade clothing.

For the next month 10% of profits will go to bringing Hollis home and
help with her medical costs. With the first $300 we'll throw a
fundraisder in Chicago , messge me through Elven Forest Creations if
you want to vounteer your help in any way."

I heard Evelina of Rat Patrol was thinking about cooking up a Save Hollis Stew.
Seek them out.

Also, we have many people from Oakland who have offered benefit show acts and venues.
We need someone who wants to organize something (ie. head HUB) so we can get the gracious offers for help moving in the right direction.
I have found, while trudging through this great sadness, that it helps to do something about it. I have heard this from many people and seen it shine through on the outreach.
It is a great experiment in mobilizing for the Greater Good.
And we are Good and getting Greater!!

Take a moment to thank yourself for being on this website and for giving out.
You make this a RAD World!

From New York: Hearts Smash Borders

Olivia wrote today to give us an update on the New York Benefit.
Thanks Olivia!

just a note to say --

-- big ups to all the connectors, performers, musicians, DJs, VJs, surprise appearances, friends, loving strangers, out-of-towners, bakers, servers, cleaners, healers, helpers, artists, sound technicians, word-spreaders, fantasy providers, trapeze swingers, donation-givers and of course the House of Yes yes yes...


I wanted to let you know that the fundraiser was amazing. Everyone was very moved and the music was so good and the energy was incredibly positive. We had the remote healing circle which turned into a song that everyone in the whole venue was creating live with instruments, noisemakers, banging on the walls, and every other audible and other way to summon and send energy. all with hollis projected on the walls 20 feet tall! there were surprise guest appearances of performance art, trapeze, and a number of other very creative fundraising gimmicks..
we will edit the footage and send it asap.

* * * we raised a total of $2,135 in the rusty emergency aid kit cash box plus another hundred fifty or so still being collected from the auction and an additional $500 direct deposit !!! * * * bringing us damn close to 3 g in a few hours (and only 3 days of planning).. not bad for a room full of starry-eyed [broke] new yorkers.

Air France FFM (NEVERMIND, AIR FRANCE ISN'T WORKING OUT)

Attention all world travelers:
Many of you have pledged your frequent flyer miles to the cause, and we may be able to use them.
We are looking into a flight on Air France.
If you are able to transfer FFM from __________to Harrison or Hollis, then we could use your help.
Please email me or contact Harrison if you have his details.
elizastrack (at) gmail (dot) com

Editor's note:
Air France isn't working out, but I am not sure what airline we might use, so I am not going to discount the FFM idea, we just don't know which airline.
I will keep you posted.

Love has eyes...

   So does Hollis.  She'll show 'em to you when she's back in the bay. Both of her beautiful brown eyes.  They're having a little trouble syncing up but her right is definitely looking at us, and the left is doing stuff.  To the point that she even seems to get a slightly warmer expression when you get up in her face and smile and tell her you love her so much, and kiss her on the cheek.  When you kiss her like it were gonna wake up the sleeping beauty that she is.   Her mom and I did this at the same time on either cheek when we said goodbye today. It was downright heartwarming.

  She did two other amazing things.  The first was that her mouth, (once slack jawed and drooling) has been regaining it's grace but at first was slightly open. I pushed it closed.  She then responded by chewing three or four times!  I almost jumped.  Diane (mom) didn't see it, so I went to try it again. All of her reactions have been so sporadic we didn't expect any miraculous repeat performance, but she did it every time.   She is responding, she is relearning how to swallow and chew and blink and...  Now for the second big one... I obviously have been holding fast to her hand throughout and in the beginning when she was  fighting for her life she was squeezing my hand so hard that I had to clip her nails cause I thought she was going to draw blood.  They have since gone limp.  But it is amazing to me how well the human hand fits in another hand whether it's gripping or not.  Like we were meant to... well you get it.  Today I grabbed hold and was shocked almost electrically to feel something clasping back.  It was ever so slight but it wasn't like it flinched and it happened twice.  She gripped... let go... and then gripped again and then slowly let go again. Nothing strong but it was there.  Amazing.

  So tomorrow the two doctors who will potentially be accompanying her back home are supposed to have a meeting to talk to the Visa people but it looks like that may not happen because they are only allowed to pay with 'a money order from HDFC' and that's it. HDFC closed  at 3 instead of 5 today and they were in the emergency room.  Her head doctor put in a call to his good friend who is the head of an HDFC bank but he said there was nothing he could do. Only that there is an Islamic holiday tomorrow and so tomorrow also, all the banks are closed.  Bureaucratic bull at every turn with paper work in India but maybe the consulate will get it together.

   She is getting transferred to her new room tonight with a cot, a chair, a TV, a marble bathroom and a microwave (the first I've seen in India, everything else is mostly cooked over hot coals or on dried cow patties).  I can finally play songs for her on the guitar and we can spend as much time with her as we want. We also debuted some new big ol headphones that go around her ears  and block out other sound so she can focus on the music.  Hollis is listening to a lot of Dark Dark Dark of course, Jolie Holland, Bon Iver (sent in to musicforhollis@gmail.com), Otis Redding, A Silver Mount Zion and a recording Josh sent in of some little kid and his dad singing an awesome song in the street in Tibet.  She (her beautiful brown eyes) like Dark Dark Dark the best. I think they might have magic powers.

  

Healing By Email:

http://theintentionexperiment.ning.com/profiles/blogs/848178:BlogPost:109687

This link was forwarded through the DPW list. Thanks.

Two weeks ago I might have discounted this article, but seeing the events that transpired, I can't help but wonder about the possibility of healing through email. I just received an email from Cameroon, Africa saying that some Peace Corps officers heard of the story and will have their son send a check for them. And right before that I got a donation from Vancouver B.C. from member of a bicycle dance team up there, The Brakes, who held a benefit brunch. They said that most of the people there only knew Hollis third hand. Then I get word that Austin, Gerlach, Atlanta, Salt Lake City, and Ottowa are all hosting benefits in the next few weeks. I also received an open letter to the yoga community. It was a call to mobilize city and country wide Yoga Benefits to aide Hollis. Have you ever heard of a Yoga Benefit? My mind is blown.
The article above brings up the idea that healing by email is possible because of the intention sent with it. I can particularly attest to this because I have read all ten thousand emails this week that have been sealed with a healing kiss. Most of the salutations are towards Hollis, but many include a pray of light to the columns supporting her. I feel connected to Hollis, and I try to send each screen shot to her in our own subconscious language. If healing by email is possible, even if Hollis doesn't get to see every single email that wishes her well, there is some substance to these desires. I must say the side effect also heals the community. It is beneficial for a person to feel the sensation of loving, and especially loving without limits. It is important for us to know how to give love. And by getting familiar with the value of your thoughts you send out, you know the benefits of receiving healing thoughts. We are activating our conscious networks, and I am very excited to see the outcomes. Ok, this is the end of the "New Agey" post. Just think it about it.

Donations

If you are not comfortable donating on paypal, Harrison's mom and I set up a joint bank account and we can deposit the checks directly into the bank account.
Email me for the details: elizastrack (at) gmail (dot) com.

I have a meeting on monday with a non-profit organization to get sponsorship. If this happens, we can offer tax-deductible donation options shortly.

I have a whole novel of things to write about the community share we are creating for Hollis, but I need to write up an email/press release/ official "big money" request letter. So look for the monetary description post to be coming shortly.
This venture that 1500 of you have contributed to will be visible and well explained, so that you can be sure that your thoughtful donations are really being put towards the quickest, safest recovery for Hollis.

Small steps... so you want the details huh?!?...

  She's off oxygen. Did you hear that? SHES COMPLETELY OFF OF OXYGEN!!! THEY ARE GOING TO MOVE HER OUT OF INTENSIVE CARE TOMORROW!!! She will have her own room and new surroundings to peek around in with her right eye.  The doctor is requesting a room with natural light, she's leaving the frosted glass fluorescent cubicles behind I say!!  So I did some research on reflexology and learned that everything brain and headwise is connected to the big toes.  I have been squeezing the living daylights out of her still manicured big guys and today as I grabbed ahold of one and went to reach for the other... she moved her foot. 

  We woke up early and rushed straight to talk to her head doctor, Dr. Balamurugan a suave sweetheart of a professional man. He informed us of the change and also that her right eye is definitely opening and no longer solely to pain.  Her oxygen saturation is staying at 98-100% despite the change and her lungs are improving greatly. She is accepting food through a tube in her nose, although they are still giving her milk despite her allergy (they don't have ricemilk but they sure do in California!!). Her mild sinus infection, external ear skin infection and abrasions  are getting better.  The crazy swelling in her left hand and arm and gnarly contusion bruise have finally started to head for the hills. Her arm is still however in a sling from her fracture on her left scapula.  Also the infection in her tracheotomy is improved and responding well to anti-biotics.  Her mouth moved or flinched when I was playing 'the Microphones' for her and singing along.  Me and mom told her all about the wildness planned for the upcoming benefits so you'd all better deliver.  

  Also at the meeting we met with two doctors from here at Apollo to discuss accompanying her through transport back to Stanford.  It may work out that we'll have to buy a section of a commercial plane for everyone and all the gear and her on a stretcher but nothing is set up yet.  This is surely a coordination nightmare with airlines and airports and ambulances and government and visas and passports etc.. Things however are obviously looking up. We may even make it home in time for my birthday on the 21st of March.  That would be the be  the best birthday present I could ever get. Thank you, Thank you.

"The things you do for love will last."

I saw this written beautifully on a moonlit wall, from a rickshaw a few nights ago.  It was followed by the devanagari script saying the same.  It could be written in every language and hold the same weight and truth.  I knew that this was a message to everyone who has been supporting her (and me, too!).  Not only are we getting her back to Stanford, but to an adoring community that has rallied around the world to show their best.  Well friends, your best is shining.  It's shining like a kings treasure, it's shining like it does just before sunset, the golden hour.  Like the sun, it's spreading and covering everything including Hollis as she approaches the golden hour to shine, on her way back home.

   There are so many questions yet to be answered and so many fears to still be conquered.  Personal, physical, tangible and otherwise, but together, we will face them.  Her mother will fly back and transfer guardianship and primary caretaker duties to me, but she (through skype, from Tennessee) and everyone else will be at my side.  I feel it you guys.  It's a "through thick and through thin"; "come rain, sleet or snow"; "rollercoaster that's this life that we lead", attitude as a community.  This has proved so strongly, that it's not just a bike dance or San Franciscan community, nor even a national community. It's a whole friggin worlds worth of caring people.  This is the stuff peace is made of.  Sorry to hippy dippy on you but it true. The way in which the people ALL over India, friends in Portland, New York, New Orleans, all over the south, Los Angeles, Cairo, London, Berlin... (the list goes on) have come together to do what they can... whatever they can, is disarming. May her story spread and may this kind of love and support be contagious.  

   She is getting better all the time.  It's now into debate time as to what her right eye is looking at and if it's really fully opening and what it's opening for.  This may not be a doctors report but I swear to you there is something in her that is looking around.  She just feels more responsive.  She becomes more active when we're around.  She's swallowing more and yawning (you don't yawn in your sleep).  She's not biting her tongue like she were in a seizure.  She's ready for some California air.  We are working to make this happen and as she gets better it is looking better and better for a quick return. We are close. Nothing is final, but things are happening... because of you.  All of you. Have the most fun you ever had at these coming benefits. For her and for yours truly, party animal extraordinaire.  

p.s. if you want to send me music for her to put on the MP3 player my new friends Shweta and Dharmesh are letting me borrow until we leave India... Send songs to: musicforhollis@gmail.com or post them here:  FRIENDSOFHOLLIS.COM and go to the message board...

Photos of Hollis by Alicia Sangiuliano

This is my picture story. I wanted to put something on the top that wasn't about money. The last few days have been about money, but now I am back to thinking about my lost lady, and how good it will feel if I find her.
All these pictures were donated to us by Alicia Sangiuliano.

Dragon Match: Success!

Thank you to all who donated towards Mr. Dragon's Match Drive.
All in all we had 38 people donate sums toward his generous pledge to match any money donated between 10:30 am and 6pm tonight up to $3,000
The polls have closed, with two donations slipping in right at 6:00.
The official tally was:
$3,547!
We surpassed our goal, the temperature gauge is through the ceiling!
It's getting hot in here with all this fire!
Mr. Dragon will put his money where his fiery mouth is today!!

THAT BRINGS OUR TOTAL UP TO:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~
The suspense....
>>>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>
$69,521!!!!

Holy Holly!
I am not a betting woman, but I can guess we might break the big 7 tonight.
That means we are nearing the halfway point.
The next seven days we will see four benefits happen.
This is so astounding!

THANK YOU to all donating without knowing Hollis.
With your spirit leading her home, she will have some new folks to meet.
She went to India to find a Yoga Guru, and we can't help but show her her gurus were right here the whole time.
Thank you to the moon and back!

Dragon Match!

Chicken John wrote this on Laughing Squid today:

UPDATE: “This just in, if you give today before 6:00, a donor known only as Mr. Dragon will match your donation… up to $3,000!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!” Please put “Dragon match” in your donation note field… Thank you, Mr. Dragon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Please add your donations to the comments, so we can keep track. At this rate, Hollis will be home for dinner on Monday!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This Just In:

New website for easier flow of information sharing:

2. We need more pictures for the Images section
Hope this helps ease your current issues with the commenting and information sharing.

AND....... I assume that some of the 95 people currently on the site, and the 2,186 people who have looked at it today and probably donated a little to our golden girl WOULD LIKE TO KNOW THE TOTAL!!!???!!
Am I right? DRUMROLL............. $65,000!!!!
Can you believe it folks?
Our goal of $200,000 is getting to a more manageable place.

And there are REALY GREAT UPDATES FROM THE HOSPITAL!!! I am just waiting to hear if from the source before I post it.
HHmm...It seems that Love and Light were deemed "hippy" and went underground for the 80's and 90's, but are now making a comeback as western science and eastern medicine have connected together to form a circle. People who would never want to be classified as "New Age" or "religious" are uttering the L-words left and right. Way to go, RAD WORLD, feeling it in public is the first step to our new renaissance.

From Trinity Cross of Field Day Wearables

I just posted a bunch of new Field Day Wearables on my etsy site
www.fieldday.etsy.com
All march sales will go to getting Hollis back to us so we can get her the best medical care available.
Also,she will be auctioning the dress she shore:





This ABFAB photo was taken by Kyle Hailey

Bending steel with our bare hands...

As we flex our might, so does she. Biceps like redwoods. I think the redwood is Stanfords mascot!! Also, Stanford was founded as a memorial to the son of a late 1800's railroad man turned governor of California. His son died travelling internationally. Their motto is 'the wind of freedom blows'. Point being. I looked up Stanford. Why? Because I will soon be there. Why? Because of you. As she is healing, so am I. Now able to look at the beautiful photos from our trip:

"Let's take a portrait from the beginning of our trip!"she said.

"I want to take a portrait of you with your lotus flower, you look like a princess." I said.
(she took one of me too in front of this SF, dressed in gold of course)

So there's a couple thousand words worth. Keep it up team it's ALL working...

p.s. lemme know if I get too personal. I almost posted a gorgeous photo of her in her hospital bed. Her head is surrounded in gauze and she looks like shes sleeping on a cloud. So theres the mental image atleast. Sent it to my mom and she said to keep it sacred for myself. Email me if you want to see it.

Harrison Update-o-rama: Good News!

Just got off the phone with Harrison with an amazing update.
He said they have COMPLETELY taken her off the respirator and she is breathing by herself 24 breaths/minute.
They took out the venus monitor that went down her throat and directly into her heart to measure the pressure. Her heart rate is about 100bpm with great pressure.
They took the stitches out of her left ear and it looks great. He said it looks like she had some sort of piercing, but it's not freaky like his post about the accident might imply. He said her color is returning and the swelling in her face has gone. She is starting to have her body back for herself. I am sure she is happy about that.
The doctors say if she continues on this path, she is on a quick recovery route. If she continues to improve then she might be able to take a commercial flight to Stanford. That being said, with brain injuries, it is always a mystery how long and how people recover.

He also wanted to clarify:
The Times of India article denoted that the family was not satisfied with the hospital care in India. This applied to previous hospitals. APOLLO HAS BEEN ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL and they are going to try to convey that tomorrow when they have another interview with another newspaper.

Keep her in your thoughts. Go to a benefit. Donate something to the silent auctions. Take a yoga class at Mission Yoga or The Caretaker's. We're bringin' Hollis Back. YOU are helping.

About that.
WHO WANTS TO KNOW THE NEWEST TOTAL??????!!!
(ooh! me! Mee too! Over here, I want to know!)

$41,150

Our goal is $200,000

->A special thank you to the millionth power to all 836 people who hooked a sister up<-

Let's just put this into perspective:
Yesterday, when I began accounting the day's total, it was $17, 500. The day before that we were at $4,500. I am now going to sleep knowing that the money more than doubles each day because of how many people are letting their friends know about the situation. This is a true testimonial to the power of the interweb and the new age of information.
