As I write this, we have discovered some fantastic news! The Shriners Hospital has accepted Rusul and she will be traveling to Greenville, SC soon. Our need for fundraising has become urgent. With several upcoming fundraisers and donated items waiting to be sold, we are anxious to get started.

Our first presentation will be next month, March 14th. During the Social Justice Movie Night at the Unitarian Universalist Church of Asheville, Ann Cothran will be traveling up from Greenville to speak about No More Victims and to show a movie about Salee. Although this is not an official fundraiser for Rusul, we will seek donations.

Our first major fundraiser will be the weekend of April 12th. Some details still need to be worked out and we will update here when the final plans are set.

The occupation of Iraq continues and I feel so helpless sometimes. Being a part of the No More Victims - Asheville group gives me hope and a feeling that I can help. I am grateful for the sisterhood we have.
