The further adventures of an earthbound alien

This usually, flippant BLOG is taking time-out to discuss a serious topic that has concerned me for the last couple months.
Here is a really nice picture of my friend Lori. She is 44 and has a Seven-year-old son.
Two years ago, when I came back out here to LA, Lori was fine. A couple weeks ago, we visited with her when we were in Michigan and found her confined to a hospital bed and dependent upon a Bi-Pap breathing machine. Doctors confirmed a diagnosis of Lyme Disease in April, but have since named ALS (Lou Gehrig's Disease) as a prime suspect.

She is a writer who hasn't had a chance to work because of these illnesses and as a result she is days away from loosing her house. On top of all that she has mind numbing medical expenses.

Relatives and friends have set up a blog dedicated to alleviating some of her financial burden. At the very least keeping her house.

I urge all three of my readers to, at least, visit this BLOG and do what you think is right.
I'll probably leave this post up for a little while.
