Send Pina to Bangkok to accept her poetry award!

Dear friends,

I've begun a private campaign to raise funds for a flight to Bangkok, where I'll receive a poetry award and read my work. The festival is covering my lodging and meals. We've had a lot of repair expenses this year, so this fundraiser will make it possible for us to afford the airfare.

This journey will also enable me to finally pay respects at the Buddhist temple where my late friend Jim Uchniat's ashes were consecrated for burial five years ago.

I'm asking 100 friends to make a $10-per-household donation. I hope you can help me with this appeal!

with love,

Pina
