As it turns out there is something that we can do. Teresa McFarland is being deployed to Japan on March 26th. We knew she'd be going a month ago. It was not a prediction of the great quake and Tsunami. These were her orders before this natural disaster.
T is in the Navy. We've celebrated her progress in studying to become a nurse, we've admired her courage to travel to distant lands donating her service to missions in need. Many young mothers smile in gratitude at T's selfless months of pre-natal preparation and follow up, throughout Kern County. We honor Teresa for her service to our country. And we love sharing friendship & family. Each time I get together with my first guitar player I find out more about her courage and love for her fellow human. The deployment to Japan could be her undoing if she is inadequately protected from radioactive leaks.
What can we do? Teresa needs the best possible protection from the nuclear radiation. We don't know how far reaching the radiation will be. Because T is going to help people in need I propose the start of a fund to keep her safe while doing what we can't.
To donate go to the Arts For Earth website: www.artsforearth.org
then click on : Teresa McF Safety Fund
please donate what you can comfortably afford. The money will come to Arts For Earth where we will purchase the appropriate, researched protection for Teresa and her co-workers. Sustainable mission? Yes, we are helping people to help people without being hurt themselves.
love,
Chela
