CRITICAL INJURY
I loathe to attend the horrid details, but Ms. Hawthorne suffered a grave accident whilst traveling in Pondicherry, Tamil Nadu, India. Suffice to say that she was riding a scooter and fell victim to a deadly hit-and-run collision with a vehicle. Luckily, she was traveling slowly and wearing a helmet but has suffered critical injury to the stem of her brain.

The current hospital in India is inadequate and Hollis most assuredly needs sophisticated help AS SOON AS POSSIBLE!

IMMEDIATE HELP
The good news is an avenue of help is available for anyone who cares, but aid must be immediate! Stanford Medical has offered to help free of charge. However, Hollis’ family and friends must raise the sum for medical transport from India to California.

Stanford Medical is an incredible windfall for Hollis since, like so many of us, she is without health insurance. With our support now, Hollis may reach Stanford for the critical help she needs now.

COMMUNITY
Hollis is so close to home. Any help from us in her community is essential. Yet, one may ask why Hollis above others? To this I reply that Hollis needs help NOW to survive. Moreover, in my humble opinion, she seems to represent a certain cause for humanity today.

CAST ADRIFT
Hollis, like so many of us, is a strong and determined, free spirit, creative, and beautiful person creating light in this world and inspiring us in the process. Yet, like so many, she has been cast adrift amidst a dire emergency because medical insurance is beyond reach as well as assets for artists in general.

COLLECTIVE SUPPORT
In this light, helping Hollis is like helping each other in roundabout that includes raising awareness for improved medical aid regardless of the individual. Let us support Hollis now and our collective selves in the near future too. My deepest thanks for your immediate support:
