Whew. It's been a very long time since I've posted. Apparently this last semester of school is getting to me. I have some nice update-y info to share, but that will have to wait until later. Right now, I want to bring before you an urgent matter...
A very dear friend of mine contacted me earlier this week and told me that her stepfather is very ill. Because of his illness, he has not been able to work for some time, and now he cannot get any health insurance. This means all of his necessary treatment has been put on hold until the family can afford it (and with him out of a job, there is no way they can possibly afford it).
You can read more about the situation here:
