<li>Hello to everyone in my Birth Family, LGBT Community Family, Colleagues and Patients. I wish I was announcing happy news. Unfortunately, I have a medical challenge to face and I seriously need your help. After my Primary Doc misdiagnosed me with a Viral problem, I was forced to take matters into my own hands. I read the bloodwork and I knew there was a problem: a bone marrow problem. I quickly got another doc to send me to hematology. After waiting four months for labs and finally a bone marrow biopsy, I called MD Anderson. I knew my diagnosis was Myelodysplastic Syndrome (MDS), very rare and mostly found in men! MD Anderson got me an appointment within 4 days and I was admitted a week later for initiating chemotherapy. You see, MDS, in my case, is an extremely aggressive cancer of the bone marrow. How did I get MDS? I've had Covid 4 times. I've worked as a nurse for 48 years. I caught Covid twice from my patients. Covid wrecked havoc on my immune system.
</li>
</ul>
<div>I retired last year. My income is Social Security. I just learned 2 of my medications, when I go home after a 30 day stay here at MD Anderson, together have a copay of $600. Next month I will come back to Houston and be in the hospital for 1 week. When I come to Houston for my bone marrow transplant, I must stay in the hospital for 60 days and in Houston close to the hospital for an additional 60 days.
</div>
<div>I could get housing for the additional 60 days at no cost but I will need a 24 hours a day Caregiver. I am sure other expenses will popup.
</div>
<div>     The Bone Marrow transplant is my one chance to beat this nightmare. The aftercare and medication copay are very costly.
</div>
<div>     Please help me. No gift is too large or too small. I sincerely believe that everything we need is in our Community.
</div>
<div>Sincerely,
</div>
<div>Wanda Henson

Wanda Henson Help! Graft v Host Disease complicati

<div>Hi, I'm Laurie Morrissey, a friend of Sharon Parnell's. Early in the morning of July 21, there was an electrical fire in the house that she's lived in for several years. Fortunately, Sharon and her beloved dog and cat safely escaped, but this terrible incident and firefighters' efforts to stop the fire have destroyed most of her belongings. The house is now uninhabitable. She needs her friends to rally around her to help her recover. Please donate what you can to help our dear friend.

<div><strong>Who am I?</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I’ve been fighting for women’s rights, human rights, and for Western universalist values for more than 50 years.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>A retired Emerita Professor of Psychology, I’ve published twenty pioneering books including Women and Madness (1972), Woman’s Inhumanity to Woman (2002), The New Antisemitism (2003), and A Politically Incorrect Feminist (2018). (Alas, authors make very little money…) I research and publish about 60 articles every year, all of which are available for free at my website, phyllis-chesler.com. People tell me that my work has changed their lives.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>In 2021, I worked almost non-stop with a team engaged in evacuating endangered, educated Afghan women. That work continues still. I’ve also continued to write about censorship, cancel culture, and about what happens when you run afoul of the politically correct Thought Police on issues about Islam, Israel, honor killing, gender identity, and violence against women.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>What happened?</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I just unexpectedly lost 40% of my funding and may have to close up shop. When my funder did not send her annual check. I wrote—and I wrote again. Finally, she texted that she’d decided that my work to help save Afghan women was no longer one of her priorities. She did not want “more of them here.”
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>A heartless and misguided point of view. These are educated, feminist women who are most likely to assimilate in the West.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>But that’s not the only reason my funder decided not to send her precious check my way. Her last minute decision came only days after I‘d published a pro-abortion piece, which was read at a 2022 demonstration outside St. Patrick’s Cathedral in New York City.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Why do I think that my abortion piece was a turning point? Once, on a visit to my home, this funder quietly left a book behind. The book was a rather extreme anti-abortion work. Carefully, kindly, we never discussed it. But I knew that she regularly attended conferences at which anti-abortion speakers were featured and I silently blessed her for her principled feminist stand and for her tolerance for another viewpoint.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>If my texting her has persuaded her into rethinking her decision, I fear that she’ll make a far more modest grant and then be done with me. Our very long-term partnership will be over.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>How can you help?</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>People think that writers and thinkers simply live on air and in romantic garrets, that what we do cannot or should not cost real money. That is not true. Even without taking a salary, I pay for a webmaster, a website, a research assistant, an IT team, hardware and software, office expenses, subscriptions to newspapers and magazines—even rent—and this all costs more than a proverbial pretty penny.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>No funding=being silenced. It’s another form of censorship.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Any donation, no matter how small, will be of vital importance to keeping my work in print, my voice out there. All funds raised will go directly to office-related expenses. Thank you for your generosity.
</div>

Lost My Funding-Help Keep Independent Voice Alive

Marideth Sisco needs a laptop to continue her wonderful creative work while she's laid up with a bad leg which prevents her from using her desktop computer.  Depending on how much we can raise, we will buy her either a brand new or good refurbished MacBook .  She has been promised a loaner but having one of her own will continue to help her in future. It would be an amazing holiday present for her, so please give generously and as soon as you can.
