First, as short a synopsis of what I'm doing as I can manage:

I have a friend whose husband was in a bad car accident in the wee hours of the morning of July 6th. He's in a coma and she's stuck sleeping at the hospital in a straight back chair in the waiting room, with no car. I want to do what I can (along with a bunch of people on another board where she's a member) to help her pay for hotel and the basics while they try to get through this.

I had been planning to frag my gorgeous neon green candy cane and put the proceeds into my "tank fund" for future tank purchases, but I've decided to use it to help AmyMichelle instead.

So, I have 4 nice frags, which I would like to sell for $10-$12/head. I'll take $10, but if you're feeling generous any extra you throw in will go to Amy. At the end of this post, I will put some links to her story. For now, I know what board I'm on and I know you want me to get to the goodies.

Frag #1 (3 heads)


Frag #2 (5 heads, several are almost split in two already)


Frage #3 (5 heads, again several splitting)


Frag #4 (4 heads, but all 4 are almost split)


And here's one of the mother colony under actinics. No, she's not for sale, and if I ever lose her before getting more frags, PLEASE let me have a frag off of one of these I'm selling! She glows like a nuclear reactor!



Back to AmyMichelle and Dave.

Here is a link to a webpage that's been set up for them:

And here are links to two of the threads about them at the other board:

http://www.sugarglider.net/ubbthread...332736/fpart/1 From there you can find links to some of the news reports about the crash, etc. It is a sugar glider board I've been a part of for about 3 years. As you can see from the posts, the members are very close and very generous. One of them even jumped on a plane to go to Amy's side and bring her some of the collections because she couldn't get to her paypal account, being in the hospital with no computer. I've met many of them, including Amy and Dave, at various "glider gatherings" all over the country and it's an amazing community to be a part of.

Amy was on the phone with Dave when the crash happened. He was not at fault and was using a hands free bluetooth device. A drunk driver hit him from behind and caused his car to flip. Amy heard the whole thing, including his scream, the car flipping and whoever discovered him in the car right afterward talking to him. It's been a week and a half and last I heard they haven't been able to wake him (I'm checking for updates daily). They don't have a lot of money and Amy is probably going to have to get out of their apartment lease and move in with her mom (when she's not at the hospital).

So if you decide to get some nice frags, you will also be helping out someone going through a real tragedy.
PM me or call me at work at 512 339-2020 if you're interested. You can pick up the frags at my office (the tank is in the waiting area) in North Austin. It is Parmer Eye Care, in the HEB shopping center at the intersection of Parmer and Mopac. Office hours are M, Tu, Fr. 8am-6pm and W, Th 8am - 7pm. We're also there some Saturdays (usually the 1st and 3rd Sat of the month) from 9am - 2pm.

Thanks,
Sundra

P.S. I'll be going out of town Thursday through the weekend, but I will still try to check PM's and my office will be able to reach me, so if you want the frags, we can arrange payment by paypal (to me or to Amy and Dave's fund) and then you can pick them up from the tank during office hours.
