Osborne Ink || News that's fairly liberal, but never unbalanced.

Some of you already know that my girlfriend’s mother was in a very bad wreck at the end of November. She’s still recovering at Vanderbilt Medical Center in Nashville, a two-hour drive from where we live. We’re all counting out blessings that she’s alive, despite severe injuries. She won’t be home until the week of Christmas.

It would be bad enough that the holiday is upon us, but Ramona was also supposed to start a new job the day after the accident. She had spent months looking for this position while unemployed and has very little savings left — the accident literally could not have happened at a worse time. Now, she’s discussing long-term disability, which means at the age of 55 she could be at the end of her working years.

Her family is scrambling to pay the bills. Everyone is paying for gas to drive back and forth and help her with physical therapy and rehabilitation (which helps explain the sudden irregular frequency of posts), while unopened and unpaid bills are beginning to stack up. Anything you can give, even a few dollars, is a huge help to her and us.

Thank you, and Merry Christmas.
