Hi everyone! Please pardon my boldness in this message. I haven't been a regular productive contributor to conversations over the years. And I haven't made a request like this since our FOOD FOR ALL days of raising funds for anti-hunger projects. But I have started this GoFundMe campaign this holiday season and would like to ask for just a little help from my friends. Linda has been working tirelessly as a volunteer on a response to the climate crisis in our city and region. We were fortunate to have found Accelerate Neighborhood Climate Action (ANCA) in Denver and got a serious boost working with them to get it going in our city. ANCA Redlands is now its own 501(c)(3) and less than three years old. Through support and collaborative efforts with our city, University, churches and all the local environmental groups, it has grown and has several exciting programs, from education to local action projects. Since I am approaching my 88th birthday next month and do not have the same activist energy I once had, I came up with this idea on my own to try to help ANCA Redlands at a critical point in its growing pains.This is all me and not Linda's idea. I am not assuming I have 1000 friends who could give $10 each, but I'm making this once in a lifetime appeal here and through social media to help toward our need for $10,000 for the next phase of growth. Thanks to those of you who read all the way to the end of this message and thanks for what I know you do for human and planetary futures.
