Update: 7/28: on my hero- drummer for the first all girl band; the Runaways.

Sandy is thrilled by the kind letters of encouragement and support that she has received. She says they really do make her feel better and stronger, to know that she has friends out there and that she has touched so many of your lives. She reads every single one, and is collecting them into a book to read over and over again, so please keep them coming!

To those of you who have sent donations, your generosity is appreciated beyond words. We've been told that there was a medication that Sandy was doing without, due to its high cost and not being covered by her medical insurance. Your donations have made it possible for Sandy to get that medication for the next few months.

On behalf of Sandy West, thank you for your love, kindness, generosity and prayers.

-why is it medication that can keep you alive is so expensive? Isn't human life more important than anything?

Aries
In 1986, an accident at the Chernobyl power plant in the Ukraine caused a nuclear meltdown. Radioactive waste spewed into the air, making the area uninhabitable. Twenty years later, humans are still absent, but wildlife is thriving. Native populations of badgers, wild boars, and deer have multiplied, and species that had disappeared before the disaster, like the lynx and eagle owl, have returned in abundance. Birds are even nesting in the steel and concrete "sarcophagus" built over the exploded reactor. This is not to say that everything's peachy. There are many problems lingering from the original devastation. I propose to you, Aries, that the situation in Chernobyl is a metaphor for something in your personal life. A place within you that endured a trauma has rebounded surprisingly, though it's still wounded. Take inventory, then raise the ante on the healing process.
