Justice and support for the Fosters

Richard Foster, an unbelievably kind and generous man, wildlife conservationist, teacher and an award-winning film-maker for the BBC and National Geographic was brutally killed yesterday, August 7th, in Belize. 

His talented wife and filmmaking partner Carol Farneti Foster is an amazing and resilient woman, but she has been very ill with Multiple Sclerosis for several years now and has related complications including a much needed back surgery.

Richard's untimely death has catapulted her into a situation where she will need substantial medical and financial support to bring the killers to justice and to survive this trauma and move her own life beyond this crisis phase.

We call on all those who want to see justice served and kindness triumph during this dark time.  

Please fund this cause and ensure that justice is sought and delivered for Richard while Carol receives the support she requires for her medical care.  Specifically, the raised funds will be 1) used to cover legal costs to prosecute Richard's killers to the full extent of the law and 2) to cover the costs of MS treatment and complications, back surgery and associated travel, mobility nurse's help (where Richard used to help with mobility previously), counseling, and medication. We are having these funds sent directly to Carol Foster.

With gratitude for your much needed support for Carol,
