Hello internet, two guys here on behalf of two great women.

Last night in San Francisco, the Fifth Vital Sign’s car was broken into and essential tools for their campaign were stolen as well as the car taking considerable damage. For the past 2 months, Emily and Kelsey have been travelling the US giving FREE reproductive health classes wherever they’re invited. They have a mobile class set-up with a projector, class materials, books, camera equipment, their personal documents, clothing, and everything else needed for the 3 months they’re on the road.

Saturday night their back and side window were smashed, and a lot of their materials and personal belongings were taken. Amongst what was taken were:

- all of their class materials including:
-           projector
-           documents
-           books on reproductive health
-           anatomical models
- camera and lenses used to document classes
-           other hard to replace course materials
-personal documents
-clothing they’ve been travelling with for the last 2 of 3 months

This set-back won't stop these two young women from delivering this critical information to the remainder of their planned visits across the United States. The information, passion, and care for their cause they hold can never be stolen - but we need your help to replace some of this equipment and repair their car so it's once again drivable and livable for the rest of the campaign. There’s still over a month to go.

The Fifth Vital Sign will go on, but we would be so grateful if Kelsey and Emily were able to fully recoup their losses as quickly as possible, to ensure that everybody can receive the same quality information and resources for the remainder of the campaign, and so they can settle back into the rigorous routine of travel. All donations will passed on directly to The Fifth Vital Sign’s bank account as they are received.

Having heard this terrible news we of course wanted to do all we could to help these two women that we love and care for, and enable them to continue their work. This seemed like the best way to reach out to the public. Any contribution you can give will be a huge help, and greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

From a loving brother, Paeder Varnam, and boyfriend, Julian Weller.
