Hi everyone.
Most of you probably know Parsley Sage (Annie). She's the fur mom to Simon, Garfunkle and Joanie. Annie has been with TCS for many years, and there are those of us who have gotten to know her here, and sometimes away from this site. She's recently engaged, planning her wedding, just bought a house and more. She's been a bit out of touch lately due to all that planning. But now there is another reason and she could use some help.
A few days ago, I learned that her fiance was in an incredibly bad motorcycle accident. He suffered serious injuries which includes already losing a leg, and faces multiple follow up surgeries. The accident was not his fault but that of a speeding driver, who apparently it seems may not have any insurance coverage. Thankfully, he is in good spirits and seems to be coping but it's a very long road ahead for both him and Annie.
Many of us are generous enough to periodically help out cats in need and I'm hoping that some of the members here might see it in their heart to donate to the Go Fund Me campaign her family and friends have created to help out with medical costs. Normally I'd hesitate posting something like this but felt that they really need the help. I ran it by the moderators here at TCS to make sure it was ok, as it's out of the ordinary to ask for help for a board member. And also, to assure them that it is completely legitimate which sadly, it is. Thankfully, all the mods agreed it was ok for me to post because of the special circumstances surrounding it.
I also ran this by Annie to be sure she was ok with me giving out this information. She obviously didn't want to feel like she's asking for something which might make others uncomfortable and I assured her that I'd mention that it was my idea completely. Which it is
Here's the link:
Please do not feel obligated at all to help. I think that she would even appreciate kind words, good wishes and prayers from those who do so. She has been by her finance's side non-stop since this happened and while she has a great support system of family and friends, it's always nice to know others beyond your immediate circle are also in your corner. If you drop her a line here at TCS, she may not get back to you soon but I am sure she will see those messages.
Thanks for reading. Now, back to cats!
