Iantha Gantt-Wright is the fulcrum around which the environmental conservation movement of non-white Americans was built, beginning with the first "Mosaic In Motion Conference" in San Francisco, 1997. She has been passionately engaged in spreading the message that we share a glorious heritage in our National Parks since then.

Today she needs our financial help as a result of a debilitating illness. Her diagnosis coincided with her husband losing his job, because he took a few days off to be with her through the process. Thus he also lost the insurance coverage they'll need to see them through.

I'm reaching out to our friends and all those who were touched by our friend and asking you to put yourself in her situation. Iantha gave selflessly, and I know I'd want someone to help me if the situation was reversed.

The need is urgent. Thank you so much.
