F is for a Friend in need

Yes, I know I already posted today but I have more to share and on a different topic. It just worked out that I post this today on all of the days in April.

You see my friend David Farland (Wolverton) has a son who was just in a long-boarding accident. They had Life-Flight him to Las Vegas, put him in a medically induced coma due to a crushed skull, many broken bones, bruised lungs, broken ear drum, and many other injuries.

And the bill is already reaching 4 million dollars.

SO, If you haven't read any of his books now would be a fantastic time to go get them and help support a friend, and his family during a really hard time for them!

  6. Wow... I don't think anyone really jumps for joy when something like this happens, but I can appreciate some beautiful parts of humanity, like the way you're using your platform and outreach to funnel support towards David and his son.

    Truly a beautiful post, Konstanz, and although I'm a total stranger here, I'll do what I can to help, starting with tweeting this to my followers.

    P.S. I'd love to see more people supporting each other like this, (and not just when intense physical pain is involved.)

    1. Thank you. As soon as I heard about it I knew I had to do something. I know if things were the other way and I was going through this, I would want the support.

      Thank you. Thank you, thank you!

      Me too! I am all about supporting others. No matter what.
