I know we can be a bit cynical around these parts, but I'm going to post this anyway. I'm not looking to engage in discussions about whether this is the right course, I just know that a friend is in trouble so I'm doing what I can to help. If you choose to help that is great, if not I totally understand that there are many stories like this in the world right now...
Hello family and friends and those whom I've encountered along the path,
Hollis is in need! She's a clearly amazing human being and much loved by people I know and love, so I am asking for help on her behalf. The most urgent needs seem to be:
1) Positive thoughts for her well being and full recovery, and energetic support for those by her side
2) an Air Ambulance between India and Stanford, California
3) a volunteer doctor for the flight
4) donations and fundraiser participants
Please take a moment to offer what you can, in celebration of the beautiful gift of being alive:

Details below ...
Hollis has been in a horrible motorcycle accident in India and is in a coma with a severe brain stem injury. We are getting her on an Air Ambulance from Puducherry, Tamil Nadu, India to Stanford Hospital in California.
If you know anyone in the Air Ambulance industry or a doctor who could volunteer their time to come and get her and fly her to Stanford - PLEASE CONTACT US!
We also need to raise $150,000 dollars for the Air Ambulance. Go to friendsofhollis.blogspot.com and it has a donate button on it.
Thank you for your help!!!
love,

Hello friends and family,
So as many of you know, and many of you don't as I have not even talked to you in a while. I am in the midst of a crazy tragedy here in southern India. I was travelling with my sweetheart Hollis by motorcycle and the worst possible scenario has unfolded. She was in an accident that took a freak turn and I will spare you the gory details (and they are gory) but end result, she is in a coma with the most serious injury one can sustain. She has a serious brain stem injury. This is the part of the brain that controls and is connected to everything. The accident happened at 11:30 am on Tuesday Feb. 24th, it is now 5:30 am on Monday March 2nd as I am writing this (I don't sleep). This is what's going on... The treatment she is receiving is okay, for India. There are however huge rats scurrying about on the floor. I am sleeping on the ant covered floor outside her room as I am not allowed in and the water they have used for many procedures is not even purified. Today as the final straw they would not allow her own mother who has just flown here from Tennessee with emergency support from the US consulate to see her own daughter when she inquired. She has been allowed some of the time but they sort of shame you/ are mean to you to make you not ask for visitation. They are not observing her brain pressure and have done nothing to alleviate the swelling in her brain. These are things that can make of break her early on in her recovery and healing process. Her chances are slim. Her chances are slimmer here in Puducherry, Tamil Nadu, India. So we miraculously got her accepted to Stanford which is one of the best hospitals in the world. Also, as a charity case which is very rare, since she has no insurance. So what we need now is to get her there. I am reaching out to everyone I know to help us get an ICU Plane (a.k.a. air ambulance) to fly her back to California. If anyone knows anyone with a plane we could rent or has anybody in the Air Ambulance industry or a doctor who could volunteer their time to come and get her and fly her to Stanford and reduce the cost... those things would be amazing. The reality of the situation is that we need to raise $150,000 dollars, now for the quote we have. There is a blog that Hollis's best bud Eliza (from her bicycle dance troupe the SF Derailleurs) started: friendsofhollis.blogspot.com and it has a donate button on it. I would like to urge everyone to give something to this button even if it is 5 dollars and then pass it on to everyone they know. Hopefully we can all figure out a way to give $1,000 whether it be by sheer generosity or organizing a fundraiser where ever this reaches you. Send it to people who know her and send it to anyone who is a compassionate person and knows what its like to lose a bright brilliant star of a person. She is an amazing performer, heart, bicycle and food activist and so much more, in San Francisco (and everywhere) and we need to do everything we can while we have the possibility, to bring her back. It was crazy to go through my contacts to select everyone to send this to and see the amount of amazing people who are no longer alive on it and how badly I don't want to add her to this group. Please help however you can even if its just keeping her in your thoughts and sending healing energies and magic. You can write me with any questions or support or call/text anytime, day or night.
Thank you more than anyone can be thanked, for everything you have all done so far, you have kept me going in my darkest hour. Please forward this on. Put it on myspace, facebook, your blog, craigslist, tribe, tell everyone.
love and teary thanks,
Harrison
